There's a bittersweetness to the end of August, and the last few weeks of summer weather, as the kids go back to school<\/a> and the season slides to cooler evenings.<\/p>\n

It's also the time of year when mothers of school age children<\/a> begin to think about what they might do with their free time in the coming colder months, and what they are missing in their STASHES!<\/p>\n

Here in Boulder the weather is still hot and summery, but the college kids have poured back into town and the streets and stores are busy again. Sam and Sophie started school on Monday, and are excited about their activities this Fall.<\/p>\n

I have a busy September planned – I'll be at the MAGIC trade show in Vegas on Monday – looking for the upcoming trends in the fashion industry. These color and textile trends filter down to the quilting industry, so it is great to get an advance view of the trends we'll be seeing a year from now. <\/p>\n

Tuesday I'll be back home, and I'll write about some of the trends I have seen. In September I'll have a big focus on trends, as I travel to Photoshop World and the Color Marketing Group conference. On September 25 I'll be giving the keynote trend presentation at the International Textile Expo in Las Vegas<\/a> – it is only open to the trade but I want to remind our friends who attend the show.<\/p>\n

The result of our focus on trends is that we bring you the hottest new colors<\/a>, collections, <\/a>and designers<\/a>. eQuilter has always focused on contemporary fabrics, with an emphasis on *leading* the trends, not following. You'll see these forward trends in the coming months as I cherry-pick the best-of-the-best and bring it to you in our weekly newsletters.<\/p>\n

(I figure I look at 150,000 products a year, and choose 14,000 new products for eQuilter) <\/p>\n

Hope you are enjoying these late days of summer, and a special hello to our friends Down Under<\/a> who are approaching late winter!<\/p>\nShare Post:<\/strong>
