We All Come Together at the Olympics
The QuiltCon Magazine is in stock now, and there is lots of fresh eye candy in this issue. Snap it up now for a preview of the show opening next week in Raleigh NC. If you see me there, be sure to say hello!
This last week here in Boulder Colorado, it was sunny and in the 60s, and people were walking around in shorts and sandals...in February! It is supposed to be snowing, but we are in a severe drought. Meanwhile Florida's temps fell below freezing, and thousands of iguana lizards were stunned by the cold, and dropped out of the trees. You just can't make this stuff up. Sorry Florida. You got our Colorado Winter weather!
I hope you were able to catch the Olympic Opening Ceremonies last night. I am very sentimental about the Olympics, and particularly the Opening Ceremonies, because it is a time when the whole world comes together peacefully. This year's Winter Olympics in Northern Italy are dedicated to the theme of PEACE, which could not be more appropriate.
Did you notice that several of the more jazzy team uniforms had designs and details that we see in the quilting world? The Canadian team had a massive quilted Red Maple Leaf on the front of their vests! (Which can also be folded to make a pillow.) And the Czech Republic outfits looked like an improv geometric modern quilt. Colombia had jackets with a printed triangle patchwork design. Finland had puffer coats with a beautiful ombre printed design.
Sophie Quinn (our daughter) and I are both huge fans of Andrea Bocelli and LangLang, so it was great to see them performing in the musical conclusion of the opening ceremonies. We have seen them both in concert which is something you never forget. I will also do a little 'Mom brag' here, because she was just promoted to a manager position in Patron Services at the Colorado Symphony in Denver. She is in her last semester on campus, plus she is observing/helping in local public school music programs. Next year she will do her student teaching and graduate with a degree in Music Education.
I will also remind you that Valentines Day is in a week. eQuilter Gift Certificates are great to give or receive. You can drop a hint by sharing this link.
Sharing your love for fabric,
Luana and Paul
