Happy Mothers Day!
To all of our mothers and grandmothers out there, we wish you a wonderful day with your family. We celebrated Mothers Day a little early with one of our staff who is expecting in the next couple weeks: we had a baby shower for Veronica Thursday where she received a lavender and gray baby quilt with blocks made by almost everyone on our staff. We are looking forward to having a new baby in the eQuilter family!
Every year my mom, Sophie and I go to the Mothers Day Tea at the historic Victorian mansion in Longmont - the Hover Home. The docents dress up in fancy hats and period costumes, and we drink from antique teacups (Pinkies extended) and munch on scones and cucumber sandwiches. It is wonderful to have our Mothers Day tradition with 3 generations of women in our family.
This week Leilani from the CU Chapter of Engineers Without Borders, came to pick up the latest batch of quilts for their bi-annual trip to Nepal. You may have seen the photos from their last trip - where the quilts were distributed to mothers who had given birth in the previous six months. Our next Charity Sewing Day is June 23, and I have to say we have a pretty wonderful group of ladies who show up every month and work hard to make these quilts.
Friday we hosted a regional Chromazone workshop for the Color Marketing Group, which was a fantastic experience. In September I will go to DC for the National Steering Committee, so I am getting more involved with the organization's process of finalizing color palettes. I just love being a part of this Color Tribe - seeing the inside process of color trend forecasting - not to mention the fascinating people who are members of this group!
Sunday Paul and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary in addition to Mothers Day. Those years sure go by fast when you are busy running a business together!
I am anxiously watching that final rush of 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.
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 to seeing many of you. If you search for "McComas" on our site now, the products on her supply list will pop up, including her exclusive thread sets. Don't forget we have a discount at the Hampton Inn next door...when you make your plans to join us.
sharing your Passion for Fabric...
Luana and Paul
