We hope you have managed to keep \nyourselves safe, and your homes dry.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br><br>Yesterday I headed out to the Climate Strike with my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/search?p_filter_keyword=%23loveyourmother&amp;p_search_type=all&amp;p_func=live&amp;fn=nl\">Love Your Mother<\/a>\n banner, and was stopped by several people asking where I got my &#8216;flag&#8217; &#8211;\n so you never know you might be seeing this at climate marches in the \nfuture. I also know of someone who has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/product\/233590\/love-your-mother-6-mandala-planets-digital-28-x-44-panel?fn=nl\">made Prayer Flags<\/a> from our smaller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/search?p_filter_keyword=%23loveyourmother&amp;p_search_type=all&amp;p_func=live&amp;fn=nl\">Love Your Mother<\/a> block panel and I just might have to do that for my front porch! You can see photos of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/luanarubin\/albums\/72157676291361927\">#loveyourmother<\/a> quilt exhibit on my photo page.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br><br>It was very inspiring to be out with people of all ages &#8211; \nfrom little kids in wagons to elders with canes &#8211; out peacefully \nmarching for climate change justice. This morning AOC came to Boulder, \nand I got a ticket because Sophie was the sound tech for the event. So \nthese 2 events in the last 24 hours give me hope that the younger \ngeneration is truly going to get involved with saving the planet. Greta \nThunberg from Sweden is an inspiration to so many. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br><br>We know that many of you are passionate about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/category\/114\/animals-wild-animals-zoo-animals-+-skin-motifs?fn=nl\">wild animals<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/category\/125\/northwoods-camping-fishing-wildlife?fn=nl\">wilderness<\/a>.\n This weekend I am going to 2 fundraiser events &#8211; Greenwood Wildlife \nrescue &amp; rehab that takes in orphaned and injured wildlife &#8211; and the\n Wild Animal Sanctuary that rescues lions tigers bears and wolves that \nhave been kept in tiny cages and terrible conditions. Did you know there\n are more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/search?p_filter_keyword=tigers&amp;p_search_type=all&amp;p_func=live&amp;fn=nl\">Tigers<\/a>\n in private captivity than in the wild? This is for situations where \nsomebody buys a tiger or lion cub to keep chained up in their back yard,\n and then realizes it is not such a great idea&#8230;and now these animals \nlive outdoors on acreage, running in the grass and digging in the dirt. \nBlissful.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br><br>I am excited to have 2 quilts in Houston next month (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/category\/249\/alaska-arctic-+-polar-wildlife?fn=nl\">Polar<\/a> Bear in the &#8220;Endangered Species&#8221; exhibit, and my hero portrait of Kathy Price &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/amissionoflove\/\">Mission of Love<\/a>\n &#8211; in the &#8220;Better World&#8221; exhibit.) Even better yet, we are sponsoring 5 \ncategories of quilts this year (!!!) &#8211; the &#8220;Animals&#8221; in IQA, and 4 \nspecial exhibits. I&#8217;ll be telling you more about these special exhibits \nas we get closer to the event.
