Quilters Just Wanna Have Fun
Well another Kentucky Derby has come and gone. My goodness, between May the Fourth (Star Wars), the Derby and Cinco de Mayo, we have a lot of excuses to party this weekend hmm? Today we had another Charity Sewing Day, focusing on finishing quilts before the CU students from Engineers Without Borders leave for Nepal with another batch of donated quilts for earthquake survivors. So we had our own quilting party which included cake, strawberries and a very large can of whipped cream. Our next quilting day will also be on Sophie's 16th birthday, so maybe you'd like to come help celebrate our Sweet 16 Girl. (Shhh! Don't tell her!)
We are thinking of all our friends in Hawaii this weekend too...we no longer have family living on the Big Island but a close friend just happened to leave the day before the earthquake and eruption. With volcanoes erupting in Bali and Alaska now, maybe Mother Earth is telling us something? We have a fabric for that! We hope the Bali eruption will not disrupt our Batik suppliers, but last time it did, so we are stocking up on current Batiks for all you Batikaholics.
I am just tickled to see those entries coming in for the Love Your Mother Challenge! The deadline is May 15 and then we will jury for the contest and exhibit. Good luck to you all.
Do you get my Midweek Creative Nudge on Wednesday mornings? Do you get our 2 Free Pattern Newsletters each week? If not you might want to review your subscription options with eQuilter. If you have questions please email or call our Customer Service department. You can review past Creative Nudge and Free Pattern emails on our blog...they are AWESOME!
We are excited to be hosting workshops with Lea McComas, Betty Busby and MJ Kinman in the next few months. Lea's 2 portrait workshops are open for registration now, and we look forward (Her book is in stock now also.) to seeing many of you. Remember we have a discount with the Hampton Inn close by, and the link is on the bottom of the class registration page.
sharing your Passion for Fabric...
