Tales Of A Fourth Generation Textile Executive: New Solids Of Choice
Hi All, Over the next couple of weeks I have some travelling to do as you probably know since nothing in my life is a secret since I started writing this blog. So I am writing a short one this week for better or for worse. I hate to keep harping on the subject of the Peppered Cottons, but I can’t help myself. Ironically, we don’t want to keep harping on this subject for the Studioe Quilt Market Schoolhouses anymore either because it is getting a little stale. So we are brainstorming some new ideas….big stitch, small stitch, slow stitch, fast stitch, tall stitch, short stitch, fat stitch, skinny…

Tales Of A Fourth Generation Textile Executive: Time Flies, Let’s Take A Step Back And Take A Deep Breath. Can You Feel It?
Life is flying by at a million miles per hour. Do you feel the same way? One day mushes in to the next and all of a sudden, here I am a 41 year old father with 2 young children. The truth is that I still feel like I am in my 20’s and just can’t figure out where all the time went….elementary school, middle school, high school, college, law school, and several jobs are all faded memories. Now, another Summer is more or less upon us, and the milestones are starting for my own children. Just last week, I had the most special opportunity. I got to…

Tales Of A Fourth Generation Textile Executive: Knock Off The Knock-Offs
With Memorial day behind us, I totally forgot that today was Wednesday and I owe my dedicated fans a blog. Sorry for the delay. On top of that, I was almost done with the blog and then had to step out for an appointment. In the interim, my IT guy fixed my computer and VOILE!…he fixed it real well. So well, that my entire blog vanished into thin air. The life of a blogger isn’t easy, please cut me some slack. As you probably now, in addition to being President and Sales Manager of Studioe, I am also the president of A.E.Nathan. This is really an A.E. Nathan story, but…

Tales Of A Fourth Generation Textile Executive: Report on Pittsburgh
OMG! It is 9:58 and I am late for a very important date. Missed my deadline for my every Wednesday for the rest of my life blog. My boss and Vanessa are going to ream me. So sorry folks, but I am still having a quilt market hangover….wish it was from alcohol, but it was just from the fabric. So much fabric. In any case, I survived another quilt market. I think I am nearing in on my 20th one….yawn. So what can I tell you about quilt market that you don’t already know? They certainly don’t call it the “International” Quilt Market for nothing. The International customers were there…
