The Autumn colors are at their peak, and the sky is a brilliant blue. Tomorrow we have snow coming and a low of 17 degrees, so we all out enjoying the colors of the season before Winter spreads her silvery cloak.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of people ask me about how color trends work &#8211; how color forecasters can &#8216;predict&#8217; future colors. There is even suspicion that we are the Color Mafia &#8211; that color trends happen because we pronounce a Color Edict and the world follows.<\/p>\n<p>Not so. The signs of color trends are all around us, if we pay attention. It is there in the daily news, in pop culture, in the latest couture fashion shows in Europe and New York. It is in the art galleries, in the displays in funky downtown boutiques, in the most popular exhibits at the largest art museums. It is there in the conversations we have over lunch with our best friends, and the conversations we overhear at the coffee house. It grows out of the Mass Consciousness, and where we are all headed together on this beautiful planet.<\/p>\n<p>Our business is entering a new chapter &#8211; moving into our OWN gorgeous large building &#8211; and our 20th anniversary coming up in March. I am also approaching a big timestamp on the Path of Life &#8211; turning 60 next month. We have always run our business as a service. For those who don&#8217;t have a local quilt shop, or who need specialty items not available elsewhere, we aim to carry products and inspire you with brand new trends that will help you to grow in your evolution as a quilter, an artist, a creative human being.<\/p>\n<p>The other important part of us being a service organization is our charity work. This week we hit a landmark with much personal meaning: we now have raised $300,000 for Breast Cancer Research. As you may know, my mother is a survivor, and my mother-in-law had this scourge also. So I want to personally thank all of you who have helped us to get to this milestone. We all have friends and often relatives who have fought and won (or lost) this battle, and together we will continue to educate, support, and search for the answer. Special hugs and love going out to all of you who are fighting BC now.<\/p>\n<p>What can eQuilter do, and what can I do, to support you as a Creative Human Being in the next year? Please write to me at <a href=\"mailto:luana@equilter.com\">luana@equilter.com<\/a> and let me know your ideas.
