I am going to get a little bit personal in this email. Today is the 30th wedding anniversary for Paul and I. In case you don’t know, Paul and I are not only parents to 3 talented wonderful young adults, but we are also business partners in eQuilter. We married in May 1995, outdoors at Chautauqua Park with the Boulder Flatirons as a backdrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you hit a round number it is worth sitting back for a moment and thinking about all that has happened, and what is to come. Paul and I met in 1994, and within 2 weeks we knew we were going to get married and have a family. We were looking really hard for each other, and when we finally met, that was it. We bonded over our mutual love of Star Trek, Monty Python, and the 4 cats we had between our 2 households. (Today we have 2 dogs, and 3 rescue cats.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the late 90s Paul was managing an audio company, learning code and starting to design websites. In fact he constructed the Boulder Philharmonic website and maintained it for a few years back then, which nobody at the Phil remembers after all these years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I left the fashion industry and New York City, moving back to Colorado in 1990. I was always thinking about what I could do next – involving art, color, design, and fabric. A year later I was looking at magazines in my local supermarket, when I stumbled across the quilt magazines. I immediately recognized that this was what I had been looking for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I met Paul a couple years later, I had been visiting quilt shops all over the country. (As one does….) I came to the conclusion that none of them had what I wanted. (big bold bright contemporary and ethic prints) One day in 1998, as I watched him designing websites for other businesses, I had an idea…..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the rest is history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are still having fun running this crazy business together, and we hope that our joy comes through in the art, color and design that we share with you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for sharing our journey with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing our passion for fabric…..
Luana and Paul<\/p>\n\n\n\n
