Our 2 weeks of almost nonstop\nsnow has created some ginormous icicles around town! However Spring is almost\nright around the corner and it is going to be a gorgeous Spring season here,\nwith all the moisture. <br><br>\nI spent Valentines Day at the hospital with my mom, fortunately a minor injury\nbut it required a trip to the ER, XRays and a splint. Mom has had several falls\nand is in a nursing home, so our time together is precious. <br><br>\nAs I mentioned a week ago, I am curating an exhibit at IQM in Lincoln Nebraska,\nthat will open on June 26. If there is a chance you can come to the opening\nreception, please save the date! <br><br>\nWe still have room in MJ Kinman&#8217;s class for her stunning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/product\/261874\/diamond-divas-elizabeth-quilt-pattern-by-mj-kinman?fn=nl_20200215193622\"><strong>Elizabeth\nDiamond quilt<\/strong>.<\/a> MJ&#8217;s gemstone patterns have been runaway best sellers\nfor us, especially since she taught here in late 2018. We are offering a\nspecial <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jvYyMcqXktY\">&#8220;Rainbow Unicorn&#8221;\nmulticolor version of the diamond, an eQuilter exclusive<\/a>, and we will be\ncutting class kits for the Rainbow and Blue versions of the diamond if you\norder in advance.

It has been so rewarding to closely\nfollow the growth of the MQG over the years, and to personally water many\nModern seeds around the world. It was originally my idea to start a Modern\ncategory in Quilt Canada for instance, and we have sponsored that category\nevery since. When I travel and lecture about quilt trends, I spend a good chunk\nof time showing and telling what Modern Quilting is all about, and how it is\nchanging each year. There has been a lot of overlap between Modern and Art\nQuilting, which is my particular interest. <br><br>\nThis year is shaping up to be very busy in terms of my traveling to lecture\nabout &#8220;International Quilt Trends&#8221;. I know many of you have come to\nmy power point lecture at events around the world, when I review the most\ntrend-setting quilts by cutting edge artists. See my travel schedule below, to\nsee if you can attend one of my lectures this year! <br><br>\nIn the meantime check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/luanarubin\/albums\">my photo page<\/a> for\nthe recent Tokyo Quilt Festival, and past <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/product\/269573\/quiltcon-magazine-modern-quilting-at-its-best-2020?fn=nl_20200215193622\">QuiltCon<\/a>\nexhibits.
