Last night I attended the opening of the SAQA “Balance” exhibit opening at the Lafayette Arts Center. Several of the talented featured artists were attending, along with many local quilters. I enjoyed talking to visitors about my piece “Stardust Mothers<\/a><\/strong>“, explaining my creative process. I really get a kick out of non-quilters asking “How did you DO that?!?”

But also, I loved hearing from our local quilt customers about how we are there to supply their specialty sewing needs. If you are in the Boulder area, or if you are traveling through the Front Range, you can save shipping charges by picking up your order here…and get a little tour when you visit also! Just place your order online, then contact us and ask to have your account converted to “Retail account” so you can choose $0 shipping for pickup.

If you have a larger group, you can also schedule a tour of eQuilter, and my art studio which is in the back part of our warehouse. You can have your own private trunk show for your group, but you will need to schedule ahead of time when I am not traveling. Extended group tours are generally scheduled for Friday afternoons. Contact Customer Service for more information. We’d love to see you here!

“Commemorative American Quilts: Stitching Our Heritage from 1876<\/a><\/strong>” by Sandra Sider is now in stock. I was asked to make a quilt for this book, and the exhibit which will open in June at the New England Quilt Museum. Quilt historian Sandra Sider’s book explores the history of commemorative quilt making from the 1876 US Centennial to today. It is a beautiful companion book as we prepare to celebrate 250 years of American quiltmaking for the Semi-Quincentennial on July 4th.

I also have 2 quilts in the Semi-Quin exhibit at the Virginia Quilt Museum, and hopefully we can carry the catalog for that show as well.

Next week I have a quick trip to Road to California. I’ll be walking the show on Friday, so if you see me, please say hello!

Sharing your love for fabric,
Luana and Paul
