This last week has been spent
\ntrying to catch up after my trip to the Tokyo Quilt Festival.
\nI came back to 5 different project deadlines looming over the next few
\nmonths, so after a stress meltdown earlier in the week, I got back on
\ntrack by just taking it one day at a time, and one project at a time.
\n(That was besides editing my quilt photos from the Tokyo show for you all to enjoy!)<\/a> These deadlines will be here in no time, so that means…Spring is coming soon!<\/p>\n

A couple of these projects are secret for now, but I'll be excited to share them over the next month or two.
\nThe NEXT deadline is that I am creating an all new Color and Trend presentation for Quilt Con<\/a> which is the premiere Modern Quilt Guild conference in Austin in 2 weeks<\/a>! I hope that those of you attending can come to my trend presentation on Sunday Feb 24 at 11 am.
\nI am having SO much fun putting this together for you!<\/p>\n

I also have a fabulous local fundraiser event for our local quilting
\nfriends: on the weekend of May 5th I will be giving a presentation for
\nthe Longmont Historical Society, to help raise funds for the victorian-era Hover Home<\/a>.
\nI am going to do a show-and-tell with quilts and my textile collection,
\nwe'll have tea afterward, and the event will be an unforgettable
\nexperience to benefit this beautiful old historic estate.
\nWith docents\/servers in period costume, antique teacups, and live music
\non the baby grand piano…we'll have quite a lovely time.
\n(Details and links coming soon!)<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThis weekend we are celebrating Chinese New Year, and welcoming in the Year of the Water Snake<\/a>.
\nI read that the pollution is so bad in Beijing, that they are asking celebrants to cut back on firecrackers this year!<\/p>\n

If your sweetie is at a loss for Valentines Day<\/a> gift ideas, you can always drop a hint with the eQuilter Wish List<\/a>, or ask for an eQuilter Gift Certificate<\/a>.

We've been watching the news and following the big storm in the
\nNortheast, and we are especially concerned about those who are still
\nrecovering from Hurricane Sandy.
\nWe are grateful to all of you who have sent comfort quilts so far<\/a>:
\n as soon as the quilts arrive at the Timeless Treasures warehouse, we
\nare having them distributed asap to those in need of a warm quilt.
\nBe sure to read our guidelines carefully if you are working on a quilt to keep someone warm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hand-carried several copies each of the two show books from the Tokyo Quilt Festival,<\/a> and they will go FAST, so if you are a collector and want to see all the best quilts from this show, place your order right now!<\/a><\/p>\n
