Let's Get Quilting! - January 26, 2015 Edition


Our parent company Jaftex Corp. is celebrating 85 years this year! We had so much fun last year with our "Countdown To The Holidays" event that we thought we would celebrate our parent company's birthday in a big way. 


First, if you are a quilt shop owner, make sure that you check out our big birthday contest [details above] because it is an amazing giveaway. Also, we want to see how you feature Henry Glass fabrics in your shop. We will feature your shop on our blog.


As a consumer, we are going to give away bundles of our beautiful fabric each week. Stay tuned by following here on the blog, liking our Facebook page and participating on our other social media. It's going to be fun!

This week we are going to give away a bundle of Elena Vladykina's Berry Cobbler collection.


a Rafflecopter giveaway
Good luck!

    I made a bunch of gifts for Christmas 2014 but so far haven't started for Christmas 2015. I will start in the next month or so as I like to make them throughout the year. Yesterday I made a Valentine's Day pot holder and a St. Patrick's Day scarf for my aunt, so I guess that counts for holiday gifts of some kind.

    I have made one holiday gift so far this year. I just finished the binding last night. I need to stay on top of this, I ran out of time last year. Thanks for the giveaway!
