I have been enjoying local, state, regional, national and international online quilter gatherings over the last month, and it is helping me to keep my sanity during this transitional time. There are so many people who are attending these online events, who could not attend in-person otherwise&#8230;.it seems clear that the future holds the development of Hybrid events so we can choose to attend in-person or online. That, as Martha Stewart would say, is a Good Thing. We just hope that the vaccination rate will continue to go up, so all of us can feel safe about attending public group events again.<br><br>We&#8217;ve had nice soaking rains here in Colorado the last couple days, which hopefully is helping with the multiple early mountain wildfires. For those of you suffering from the Heat Dome in the Northwest, we hope you can stay safe and cool. Maybe this is the summer when people really wake up to the reality of climate change? For those of us already affected, we can only hope. (Portland &#8211; I&#8217;m sorry but I think we got your wet weather this weekend.)<br><br>This week I recorded a podcast with Elizabeth Townsend Gard for &#8220;Just Wanna Quilt&#8221; at Tulane Law School. It was such an interesting experience because Elizabeth asked me very personal questions that nobody has ever asked about before. I will let you know when this podcast interview goes live.<br><br>In the last few days <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/about\/charity?fn=nl_20210626193507\">we officially topped $1.8 million raised for charity<\/a>, and again I must give my humble gratitude to all of you who have supported our family-owned business and shared our vision of making a difference for those in need. You can learn more about the history of our charity work <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/luanarubin\/collections\/72157710742701423\/\">on my Flickr pages<\/a> also.
