This one’s for all of you diehard Midweek Creative Nudge email readers. Sometimes when I am chatting with quilter friends, I say ‘hey did you see my newsletter last Wednesday’ and they say…..’huh?’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I know that many more of you DO read my Wednesday morning missives, so here is a little gift….a preview of what will be introduced in the Saturday new product e-newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We just got a giant shipment of the entire Tim Holtz<\/a><\/strong> Palette collections, and I am sure part of it will sell out fast. So jump on it NOW<\/a><\/strong> to pick out your favorites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a kid, I think I had April Fools Day trauma. So I am not going to freak you out with a prank, but I will tell you something very true:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many years I had an annual VIP tour of NASA in Houston, because of our close relationship with the NASA chapter of Engineers Without Borders. On the 2015 tour, my guide was astronaut-in-training Victor Glover<\/a><\/strong>. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he is set to PILOT the historic Artemis II mission to the moon. He will become the first black person to fly to the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mission is set to last 10 days as the crew flies by the moon. It will be the first US lunar flyby with a crew onboard, since the Apollo 17 mission in December 1972.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Godspeed, Victor…and the Artemis II crew. We’ll be watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing your passion for fabric…
