This time of year many of you are finishing quilts for those Call for Entry deadlines that are coming up for the Fall quilt festivals. We hope that you have been able to find everything you need to complete those special projects, as you’ve shopped all of our various products and categories over the last few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is also a time of year when we often have groups coming to tour our warehouse. Many of our visitors are surprised to find there are so many products here that they never knew we carried. From basic things like threads, batting and needles…to more artsy creative things like beads, fusibles, and specialty notions….we do hope we have something for everyone. We are excited when new magazine issues come into the warehouse, but often our customers discover a new publication and are delighted that we have back issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there is something you are looking for and can’t find, don’t be shy about calling our Customer Service line. You can also email us, or use our chat service during business hours. Yes we still have real human beings answering your questions here! Deandra is our Customer Service Manager – many of you already know her – and our other office staff may pick up the phone as well. They are all such nice human beings and we feel so lucky to spend time with them here Monday through Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am so delighted to have several of my quilts<\/a><\/strong> traveling in shows now, or being shipped to Fall quilt festivals. I hope you will watch for my work in the next few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAQA Camouflage<\/a><\/strong> – opening July 18 at the Desert Sonora Botanic Gardens in Tuscon AZ – “Uncompahgre Fritillary” (Butterfly)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sacred Threads – currently at the First Presbyterian Church, Flint, MI – “The Children of War”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Festival of Quilts – Birmingham UK – “Kubota’s Dream” (featured at the Kyoto Quilt Festival in March)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Houston Intl Quilt Festival – “250 Years of American Wilderness” and “Invisible Borders”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAQA Balance – “Stardust Mothers”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I share this to encourage you to enter your quilts, keep track of those Call for Entry deadlines, and celebrate when your quilts are accepted into a show! Once upon a time, as a little girl, I dreamed of sharing my artwork with others. I hope that all your Quilty Dreams come true also!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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