Everyone saw it but me, apparently. I only saw one in our backyard and I thought I was hallucinating. No, it turns out all the birders in town gathered at the entrance of our neighborhood with their big cameras and tripods, but I missed the main attraction. However I did see some Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles this week &#8211; also migrating &#8211; so it has been a good week for bird watching here.<br><br>This week I will be in Atlanta for QuiltCon, taking photos and meeting with industry friends. I&#8217;ll be at the awards Wednesday night, and the SAQA gathering Friday night. eQuilter is a GOLD sponsor, and you will see our full page ad on the back cover of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.equilter.com\/product\/306193\/quiltcon-magazine-modern-quilting-at-its-best-2023?fn=nl_20230218191049\">QuiltCon Magazine<\/a><\/strong> which is selling like hotcakes by the way!<br><br>eQuilter is sponsoring &#8220;A Celebration of Color&#8221; contest and exhibit at the Long Beach and Houston Quilt Festivals again this year, and we especially urge our eQuilter customers to submit your colorful quilts for a chance at the cash prizes!
