\"FQSAQA18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

EXCITING BIG NEWS! – We just received the SAQA fundraiser collection "Urban Textures" from Andover<\/a><\/strong> – based on the fabulous work of 6 artists, and curated by Luana Rubin. <\/p>\n

The other big news is that we are bringing in Aurifil Threads<\/a><\/strong>, due to popular demand. See the first batch of Solid<\/a> and Variegated threads<\/a> online now, with a yummy assortment of colors.<\/p>\n

You may not have noticed, but while your Inbox was barraged with multiple blaring Black Friday emails, you did not receive one from eQuilter. *smile* <\/p>\n

Paul and I are not the type to do something because it is what everyone else is doing, and we also appreciate our customers' refined sense of taste. <\/p>\n

We really appreciate the idea of Small Business Saturday, to bring attention to locally-owned and family-owned businesses (like ours!), but we don't want to get lumped in with the giant Mega-Sites that fight over Black Friday scraps on Cyber Monday. <\/p>\n

So hey! We are going to have eQuilter's Purple Sunday instead! Purple is a color of unity, creativity and spirituality<\/a>…so it fits our business model better than Black Friday, etc. As usual, we are wrapping up our Thanksgiving Week Sale today….Purple Sunday.<\/a>..so I hope you enjoy a relaxing cup of tea or coffee<\/a>…and have fun checking out the year-end bargains<\/a> we offer annually. (And you don't have to stand in line or camp out overnight to get these deals – ha!) <\/p>\n

I am very honored to be part of the BERNINA Ambassador program<\/a>, and next week I am also honored to attend their Ambassador Reunion at their US headquarters in Aurora, Illinois. Hopefully the weather gods will allow me to arrive and depart through infamous O'Hare Airport without a hitch. Fingers crossed! <\/p>\n

Word from New Zealand is that I have over 300 attendees so far, for my "International Quilt Trends" presentation Jan 16<\/a> at the Quilt Symposium in Manawatu<\/a>. We are also a sponsor of the event, and I am going to hang out in Sue Benner's workshop for 4 days too. Can't wait to meet all our NZ customers at the festival!!! <\/p>\n

I am still putting together my 2015 travel calendar, but it looks like I will be speaking at the quilt festival in Mexico City the end of February as well. <\/p>\n

In case you missed it, we now have a fun new video<\/a> of the Animal\/Wildlife themed quilts from Houston Quilt Fest<\/a>, which features our dog Ruby and my new (birthday present from Paul) puppy Alfie! Tonight Paul uploaded "Luana's Favorites" which includes award winners and fantasy-themed quilts<\/a>. <\/p>\n

This is now a total of 4 videos from Houston<\/a>…Red & White Quilts, Luana's Favorites, SAQA Exhibit, and Pet\/Wildlife Quilts. Enjoy! <\/p>\nShare Post:<\/strong>
