We hope you all had a lovely Valentines Day with lots of hearts and flowers.

QuiltCon is this week in Phoenix Arizona. eQuilter is the sponsor for the Machine Quilting Award, and I can’t wait to see who wins this year!

It is now 1 week until I leave for my solo gallery and lecture at the Kyoto Quilt Festival. I am still planning for an Open Studio on Sunday March 9, from 1-5 pm, before I send quilts back to their museum and exhibit venues March 10.

I gave a talk on Art & Activism last month for the Fraser Valley Modern Quilt Guild in BC Canada.
You can view a recording of that lecture now on our YouTube page.<\/a><\/strong>

We are still collecting comfort quilts for those who lost their homes during Hurricane Helene in NC. You can either drop donations off *in person* at our office, or ship directly to this NEW address for distribution:

Shannon Townsend
57 Eden Glen Rd
Black Mountain, NC 28711

sharing your love for fabric,
Luana and Paul
