\"Nudge\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last week I came back from Andalusia, and one of my favorite day trips was a visit to a farm near Jerez. This is the area where they make sherry wine, raise the famous Spanish bulls, and it is also where Andalusian Horses<\/a> are bred and trained.<\/p>\n

I have had a crush on this breed since I was a kid. When I went to see the Lippizaner horses as a girl, when I had my own horse as a teenager, when I visited the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, when I toured the Queen’s stables (Royal Mews) with her Windsor Greys near Buckingham Palace in London, admired Gandalf’s steed Shadowfax in Lord of the Rings, and now I had the chance to see these iconic horses in their native land.<\/p>\n

Here is a collage of photos from this farm, including a gorgeous Grand Champion in the top left, and in the middle that is me about to get a velvety kiss from a curious boy. I’ve added in a few of our current horse-themed fabrics.<\/p>\n

This Saturday at 10:30 am I’ll be speaking on a panel, moderated by Curator Marin Hanson, about Chinese 100 Good Wishes Quilts at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum in Lincoln Nebraska. Sophie will be with me, and we’ll be sharing her adoption quilts.<\/p>\n

Sunday Aug 14 I’ll be hosting the VIP lounge at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham UK. I am still looking for a ride from the Manchester Airport to the Hilton Birmingham on Saturday afternoon Aug 13, in case anyone can give me a lift!<\/p>\n

I hope to see many of you in Lincoln or Birmingham! Please come and say hello – I love to meet our eQuilter friends and customers at these events!<\/p>\n

sharing your Passion for Fabric…
\nLuana<\/p>\n
