Back in those days\nquilt shops were full of mostly small scale &#8220;ditsy&#8221; prints that were\nwashed out or dirty colors. I went to about 40 quilt shops around the country\nand decided there was something missing. We opened our business with\ncontemporary, ethnic, wildly COLORFUL fabrics and the rest is history! <br><br>\nThere are so many people to thank for our 20 years of success, but I&#8217;d like to\nstart by thanking our wonderful staff who make this possible by showing up 5\ndays a week, and sharing your delight in these beautiful fabrics. <br><br>\nI&#8217;d also like to thank all of those in the industry who have supported us\nthrough the years. Your friendship and guidance as we grew, and as the industry\nchanged, has been a great gift. You know who you are. <br><br>\nMy biggest thanks goes to my husband and partner Paul, who left his manager\nposition at another company to come run eQuilter. You don&#8217;t see his face, but\nyou see his creative and technical genius on every page, and in every brilliant\ntool on the website. He also runs the Free Pattern program and has become quite\nthe quilt designer! <br><br>\nUnfortunately I&#8217;ve spent the week going from ER, to hospital, to a rehab\nnursing facility with my mother. Here at the end of the week she is stable and\nthere was a place at a great facility 10 minutes from our home, so I am looking\nat the bright side. We are spending this weekend moving her things out of\nassisted living. <br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/about\/charity?fn=nl_20190309193558\">We are\napproaching $1.6 million raised for charity<\/a>, and all of us at eQuilter\nthank you for supporting our charity program, and our family-run business. This\nweek I have an invitation to a very special event in Atlanta and Plains GA,\nthanks to our charity program, so I will be sharing that with you in a week. <br><br>\nsharing your Passion for Fabric&#8230; <br>\nLuana and Paul <br><br><\/p>\n<strong>Share Post:<\/strong><br><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5200&#038;t=20%20Years%20of%20Fabric%20and%20Friends&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5200&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F03%2FHOCWI4DW_MD.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=20%20Years%20of%20Fabric%20and%20Friends\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Share on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5200&#038;text=Hey%20check%20this%20out\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Share on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-pinterest nolightbox\" data-provider=\"pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Pin it with Pinterest\" href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5200&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F03%2FHOCWI4DW_MD.jpg&#038;description=20%20Years%20of%20Fabric%20and%20Friends\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"pinterest\" title=\"Pin it with Pinterest\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/pinterest.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox\" data-provider=\"linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5200&#038;title=20%20Years%20of%20Fabric%20and%20Friends\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"linkedin\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-share\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/image\/social\/regular\/64x64\/linkedin.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daylight Savings starts the morning of March 10th, so don&#8217;t forget to &#8220;Spring Ahead&#8221; and turn your clocks forward an hour, if you are in a state that participates in this bi-annual exercise.
