One thing about the Quilting World that I love, is making strong friendships that last for life. Many of my mentors and friends from 20 years ago, have retired in the last several years, so it is always a treat to see them again. Today I had lunch with 2 of them. Donna Wilder was the original founder of Free Spirit Fabrics, and Beth Hayes was the longtime editor of McCalls Quilting Magazine. We had a 3 hour lunch and it was like no time had passed. I love those kinds of friendships!

Here’s a little sneak peek for a 2023 Bear Trip<\/a> that I am officially announcing next week. I have a draft of the trip overview online now…just waiting for Aly my NatHab agent to proofread for me….so take a sneak peek or watch for more info in the Wednesday e-newsletter next week.

The only thing better than fabric as a Christmas gift, is an eQuilter Gift Certificate<\/a><\/strong>, which can be delivered via snail mail or email. We’ve restocked our Chocolate department<\/a><\/strong> one last time for the holidays, so don’t forget to throw a chocolate bar and extra spool of thread<\/a> in your next order!

I am happy to announce that my 2 segments from the new season of Quilting Arts TV<\/a>, are now released, and we have those video clips on our eQuilter video pages. The topics of these 2 segments are “Art & Activism”, and “Canadian Quilts”. Please have a look and enjoy over a hot cup of tea this weekend.

We have a few copies of the “Women’s Voices” exhibit book, from the Clinton Presidential Center where I attended an artist reception and Women’s Rights summit in early December. We have signed copies in house now.<\/a><\/strong> Contact Customer Service if you would like me to add a personalized inscription for you or someone special who is passionate about this topic.

Sharing your love of fabric,
Luana and Paul
