It is frigid outside in most of the country today. Idaho is no exception. With that in mind, I am sending warmest Christmas greetings your way and hopeful wishes for the New Year. For me, this is the time of the year that I am both looking backward and forward at the same time. I am thinking of ways I can learn from my experiences in 2022 and how to carry them forward to growth in 2023.

My year as a 2023 Benartex Brand Ambassador has started in a big way. Yesterday I received my welcome box that was filled to the brim with goodies! The beautiful Marbella fabric by Paula Nadelstern is exceptional. It is the full line in fat quarters. The colors are extremely rich. There are so many other gifts I can’t wait to try, such as the Christa Quilts Machine Quilting Gloves. On top of that there are pencils, rulers, snips and so on. Since I am a Bernina sewing machine girl, I’m anxious for it to rain so I can use my new Bernina umbrella! And all this is just the beginning!

It will be a demanding year full of constant creativity and deadlines. I’m looking forward to learning from my fellow ambassadors who can all be found at https://benartex.com. And while you are there, check out the latest fabric lines. You just might find your next project!
