Quilt festivals and exhibits are happening all over the country now, and I urge you to get up and get out to these celebrations of our beloved art and craft.

As this email goes out, I’ll be attending the opening reception and award ceremony of the Legacies art quilt exhibit at the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins, which is about an hour North of Boulder. Like our town, it is a college town, and thriving with creative energy. I went to summer music camp there several times, and later, my kids went to the same summer music camp.

Going on a summer quilting retreat can feel like Summer Art Camp for adults. This year I have gone on a quilt retreat in the Spring (Alegre) and will finally return to Art Quilt Tahoe this November, after 20 years. These days I like to sign up for independent study, but most people sign up to take a class and learn some new techniques to fold into their stitching repertoire. Either way, the point is to have fun and hang out with like-minded people.

There is nothing like hanging out at a quilt retreat, a quilt workshop, a quilt festival, or a quilt exhibit, to lift one’s spirits and fill up that Creative Gastank! Just be sure to review any class supply lists well in advance so you can have everything you need, before you pack your bags and hit the road.

If there is something you need that you can’t locate on our site, give us a call or online chat during business hours, or send us an email. We will send you links to the products, or get them back in stock and contact you when they arrive.

Stay cool out there – and keep stitching.

sharing your love for fabric,
Luana and Paul
