We are excited to announce the winners of the “Celebration of Color” contest and exhibit, which you can see at the Long Beach Quilt Festival July 6-8. and again at the Houston Quilt Festival in late October.

eQuilter is once again the sponsor for this brilliant exhibit, and we’d like to congratulate the winners, who were announced this week:

Best of Show: Cole Whitaker
First Place – Art: Betty Busby
First Place – Modern: Jodi Murphy & Teresa Silva
First Place – Traditional: Sharon Engel

While in the Netherlands I traveled out to the warehouse for our Dutch Wax Print<\/a> supplier, and HAND-PICKED another batch of these fabulous designs which are produced for the West African market. The shipment came in this week and I urge you to take a look now. This company does not reprint so the products come and go quickly.

Next weekend I will be at the opening of Quilt National, at the Dairy Barn in Athens Ohio. This prestigious textile art exhibit is a bi-annual event, and one of the most competitive exhibits for art quilts. I will be giving a power point lecture on “Art and Activism” at 3:30 pm Saturday, which is followed by a SAQA Member reception at 4:30 pm. I hope to see many of you there. Tickets are on sale on the Dairy Barn site, and will benefit the arts center.

We did get some sad news this week about the Art Quilt Quarterly<\/a>. There will be 2 more issues and then they will cease to publish. We do try to carry back issues so now is the time to collect copies<\/a> of this fine publication. We will certainly miss this beautiful quarterly magazine.

sharing your love for fabric,
Luana and Paul
