Things that Make People Happy
We have found over the years, the fabrics that make people happy are the fabrics we need to stock in depth. Topics like Food and Drink, Travel and Wildlife, Flowers and Pets....make for good quilt subjects.
In a more general sense, Eye Candy and Color Inspiration are other ways that we seek to support your creativity. Every week we have a few special products or collections that just 'Wow' us, and we smile, knowing that it will also make so many of you happy as well. Especially over the last 18 months, we've needed these things to delight and motivate us to stay focused on what brings us joy - playing with fabric, cutting and sewing and quilting.
Last year there was a new product category that clearly made many of you happy -
our Artisan Chocolate department. This is a seasonal category. We can only ship chocolate during the cooler months of Fall through Early Spring. Our first shipment of the season arrived this week, and our employees snapped up several of them within a few hours, doing quality control I guess. Haha. We all need an emergency chocolate bar stashed in our purse, right?
Many years ago I was in a shuttle bus, on my way from the Reno Airport to Art Quilt Tahoe, when a snowstorm hit. As we got to the top of the pass, our vehicle slid off the road into a snow bank, and we were stuck. As we waited for rescue, we decided to pool our food resources. The only thing we had between us was my emergency chocolate bar in my purse, so we split it among the 6 of us. That is how I met Terrie Mangat!
Anyway, if I can make you happy with the discovery of a new designer, a stunningly gorgeous fabric, a new set of colorful threads, a clever new notion, or a bar (or two) of chocolate....that makes ME happy.
I am starting to post photos of Colorado Fall Colors, and my Brown Bear photos from Alaska this weekend. If you would like to review beautiful quilt images from past quilt festivals, you can review the other albums on my photo page. Enjoy!
...sharing your love of fabric,
Luana and Paul
