Our friends Danny Amazonas and his wife Pat came by to visit our new\nbuilding. You may recall that I filmed a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/M-a92-0-uxA\">video\ninterview<\/a> with Danny at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/luanarubin\/albums\/72157704784445691\">Tokyo\nQuilt Festival<\/a> in January 2016. Now his quilts are being exhibited in\nPaducah and at the Texas Quilt Museum. Way to go Danny! <br><br>\nLast night I attended the opening reception for the &#8220;Evolutions&#8221;\njuried challenge exhibit at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden Colorado.\nWe are a sponsor for this new art quilt exhibit, which will be up through\nOctober 19. Congratulations to the 1st prize winner Kathy Suprenant: her prize\nis a solo show next year! <br><br>\nThis morning I drove down to Parker to hear Alex Anderson give a talk to our\nstate guild &#8211; the Colorado Quilting Council. What a surprise when they called\nme up at the end of the meeting to give me a special &#8220;Outreach Award&#8221;\nfor my contributions to Colorado quilters and the industry. Many thanks to Mary\nwho nominated me, and everyone who kept the secret. I am honored, but also feel\nso lucky to have found my way to the wonderful world of quilters 30 years ago.\nWherever quilters gather, there we will find kindred spirits with generous\nhearts and nimble fingers. <br><br>\nOn Tuesday I&#8217;ll be flying to Birmingham in England, for the fabulous Festival\nof Quilts. This year we are sponsoring a lifetime achievement award, which will\nbe announced at the Thursday night dinner. I will also be at the SAQA dinner\nFriday night. If you can&#8217;t make it, don&#8217;t worry. I&#8217;ll be taking photos of the\nbest quilts, and will share on my Facebook and photo pages. <br><br>\nsharing your Passion for Fabric&#8230; <br>\nLuana and Paul \n\n\n\n<\/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%2F5562&#038;t=Generous%20Hearts%20and%20Nimble%20Fingers&#038;s=100&#038;p&#091;url&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-json%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F5562&#038;p&#091;images&#093;&#091;0&#093;=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F07%2FRUANIDON_MD.jpg&#038;p&#091;title&#093;=Generous%20Hearts%20and%20Nimble%20Fingers\" 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%2F5562&#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%2F5562&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equilter.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2019%2F07%2FRUANIDON_MD.jpg&#038;description=Generous%20Hearts%20and%20Nimble%20Fingers\" 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%2F5562&#038;title=Generous%20Hearts%20and%20Nimble%20Fingers\" 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>Friday was a busy day here!
