That's important right now - we are resilient and we know what to do when things get tough! Be creative and generous. Your reputation and legacy as quilters is so needed!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">This is the time of year that I normally publish my quilt show schedule for the first six months. All but one of the shows I look forward to are cancelled or suspended. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">So I'm going to do the same thing I did during 2020! Enjoy meeting my customers' needs from my home and pushing my way through my fabric stash! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Quilters Anonymous</b> has developed a virtual show to replace their usual spectacular show at the Monroe fairgrounds. They invite you to attend! I know you all look forward to that one and this year it will be full of two years' worth of quilts!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hHza7ILCOgk/YBx_heEXv0I/AAAAAAAAIBw/G0Qz-l3EftQMHGC6wmoniL3x2BWXf5o9gCLcBGAsYHQ/s825/QA%2B2021%2BVirtual%2BQuilt%2BShow%2Bpostcard.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="637" data-original-width="825" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hHza7ILCOgk/YBx_heEXv0I/AAAAAAAAIBw/G0Qz-l3EftQMHGC6wmoniL3x2BWXf5o9gCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/QA%2B2021%2BVirtual%2BQuilt%2BShow%2Bpostcard.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></div><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial;">March 12 to May 1, 2021</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">They also have a vendors' platform and I am on it.

I still have SO MUCH STOCK that I would do nothing but maintain the site, and I would rather quilt. You can see the list of threads I typically have in the sidebar on the right and I can special order things for you. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Here's one thing to think about; I can put 12 spools of Aurifil in the smallest USPS Priority Mail box. So if you're shopping for Aurifil, go together with a friend or two, and pay postage once. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_2tVaqQQmNcWsIJGITgaAcgDNlnVTV8O9XFXtJ2Gl716k6Bkbf5nIUSQDByeJprsATxPZZkDYDhfBKRLP-YR8q_4Pkv3NC0ZVYr1HnBDR8tSRw1C5v_JXSY551ZFeJGuKuJzxcwqtP74/s1178/20160103+Aurifil+in+Priority+Mail+Box+resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1090" data-original-width="1178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_2tVaqQQmNcWsIJGITgaAcgDNlnVTV8O9XFXtJ2Gl716k6Bkbf5nIUSQDByeJprsATxPZZkDYDhfBKRLP-YR8q_4Pkv3NC0ZVYr1HnBDR8tSRw1C5v_JXSY551ZFeJGuKuJzxcwqtP74/s320/20160103+Aurifil+in+Priority+Mail+Box+resize.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I'm seeing an uptick in interest in the Wonderfil family of threads.

I'm sure I'll "see" you at the Quilters Anonymous online show. We have hope in 2021 that our ability to gather safely will be restored!

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Of course you are! Quilters know how important it is to pass along the information about a quilt as well as the quilt itself!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here are some quick ideas on QUILT LABEL CONTENT and why it's important: </span><br />

I started this micro-business in 2005 to give quilters an opportunity to use better quality threads in their quilts than they could usually find locally. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">My very first customer was Alene Kempton-Gragg and I remind her of this every year!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXQgAs-EUhgItl9GAP2lHKWgUNK5DR-IipVF9XJ2NoEpPFStpZhbmvvkcYLnt8TpA58QTWuBHorI7890OVd25RHfWQOm8uAxBvMBpD2zpm9z4stNH-hUyzOGcPZZMhEHltizHXqjEReNA/s1600/q2018+modern+cat+block+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1589" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXQgAs-EUhgItl9GAP2lHKWgUNK5DR-IipVF9XJ2NoEpPFStpZhbmvvkcYLnt8TpA58QTWuBHorI7890OVd25RHfWQOm8uAxBvMBpD2zpm9z4stNH-hUyzOGcPZZMhEHltizHXqjEReNA/s200/q2018+modern+cat+block+%25282%2529.JPG" width="198" /></a><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">It has been so much fun to be a vendor at the regional quilt shows and to speak to quilt guilds and groups. I treasure all the friends I have made and the great fiber art I have seen. There have been changes and advances in the industry in the past 15 years. Quilting and quilters just get better and better! </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">In a Washington Post article published today, they recognize the important role that sewing and mask-making has played during the pandemic. It looks like we will have a new group if not a new generation of quilters from this experience!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Thanks to the creative community for including me and let's hope that 2021 is a return to our normal, frenetic, quilt show schedule!</span><br />

Now that we are trying to comply with the "all stop" government orders, it is surely time to use up our stash! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hope you are staying healthy, isolated, warm, and happy to be home with family and pets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You are probably aware that the quilt shows scheduled in this region have been cancelled for the next couple of months, at least. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Quilters Anonymous - cancelled</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tri City Quilters - cancelled</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Clark County Quilters - rescheduled to November 12-13-14</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fidalgo Island Quilters - cancelled</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Everett Quilt Show - cancelled</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Chewelah Quilt Show - cancelled</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Woolley Fiber Quilters quilt show - cancelled</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sunbonnet Sue quilt show - cancelled</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These are the shows I was scheduled for. There are a few more shows around the region that have been cancelled - check with the sponsoring guild to see what they plan to do. And show some love to these guilds who have lost money as well as lost a source of income for the year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here in Sedro-Woolley, the Woolley Fiber Quilters, Quilters by the River, Bethlehem Lutheran Quilters, and some individual contributors are making quilt fabric face masks for local medical facilities. The first clinic contacted us and we were happy to work with them to identify the style, fiber content, construction method, laundering method, and the number of masks that they needed. Then we went to work! About 35 quilters made 600 colorful face masks for that clinic and their two partner clinics in just one week! Now we are continuing to make masks for other local clinics and we will keep doing it for the foreseeable future. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The most important thing is to work with the medical facility to see if they accept homemade masks, what style and fiber content they need, and how they'll be laundered and sanitized. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm assuming that you're quilting! Finishing UFOs, making quilts to remember this time, getting graduation gifts done early, and enjoying shopping your stash. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hey, USE UP ALL YOUR THREAD SO YOU'LL NEED MORE! That will be good for me!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The masks are fun to make. Too bad it is for such a dire circumstance. But quilters always rise to the task. We are helpers by nature and very task-oriented. So this is a great way to contribute and to bring some color into the lives of many. Thanks for all you do, in every way. </span><br />
