A New Year - A New Decade
Most of us will remember the celebrations of the Millennium New Year as one of the biggest events of our lifetime. How awesome to witness the turning of the year 2000. We partied like it was 1999, just like Prince's song. That song was released in October 1982. I remember dancing to that song in a disco in Hong Kong and thinking - 2000 is so far away! Then in 2000 thinking - 2020 is so far away! Well here we are. Have we achieved 2020 vision? I think not. But who knows what 2020 will bring?
Our industry has changed so much in the 20 years since eQuilter started in the basement of our home. Back then people were afraid to buy metallic prints because they thought the metallic would wash out. 5 years ago people were afraid of digital prints for a similar reason. 20 years ago I could not have imagined how digital printing technology would radically change the range of products that we carry. Now we enjoy fabrics printed with permanent dye-sublimation that bonds to the molecules of the fabric, and have a limitless amount of colors and no restriction on the repeat length. A designer's dream!
20 years ago quilters were arguing over 'what is a quilt' and 'what is art' and the Modern Quilt Movement was perhaps a twinkle in Nancy Crow's eye but she didn't know it yet. Ha. Now our quilt festivals are full of creative and technical categories that didn't exist in 2000. As sewing machines became digital with computer brains and mind-blowing technical advances, we've embraced the changes and allowed them to feed our passion for stitching in ways our grandmothers could not have imagined. I think of my grandmothers often when I am sewing.
More than anything, the internet has brought us together and provided us a new way of sharing our creative inspirations, and allowed us to find new friends all around the world. The internet was just taking off when we opened our little business in 1999, and now it is integrated into all of our daily lives. When we share things like slow-stitching and hand-applique through the internet, that mode of sharing has come full circle. That part our grandmothers could relate to, for sure!
I thank my grandmothers Minnie and Merle, for teaching me to sew and planting the seeds for my creative career.
sharing your Passion for Fabric...
