I&#8217;ve noticed the traffic has gotten so bad on these long holiday weekends, I&#8217;d rather just stay home and sew! Today I finally got my office (mostly) cleaned up, after a very busy summer. Do you have some time to spend playing with fabric over this long weekend? <br><br> We are watching Dorian move towards Florida, and hoping the hurricane will make a turn and head out to sea. We have lots of special friends in Florida and we&#8217;ll be watching and hoping you all stay safe. <br><br> Part of my life story is that I lived in Hong Kong in the early 80s, and when China said they were taking back the colony, I was part of a huge wave of expats who left. (I moved to New York to work on 7th Ave.) The things we feared are now happening there. It is quite surreal. <br><br> We hope you all have a safe and happy long weekend, hopefully with time to organize your fabric stash, get in some time on your latest project, and make plans for the upcoming cooler (quilting!) season. I hope that this week&#8217;s gorgeous new fabrics fill your heart and mind with inspiration. <br><br> Thank you for telling your friends about our online fabric service &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/about\/charity?fn=nl_20190831193531\">we appreciate your support!<\/a><br><br> sharing your Passion for Fabric&#8230;
