Welcome to day 5 of the Jaftex 85th Anniversary Blog Hop! Jaftex is the parent company of Henry Glass & Co., Studioe Fabrics and Blank Quilting. We are hosting the blog hop here and will be posting some photographs on the Henry Glass Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook pages too.
We invited over 30 designers, quilt industry friends and bloggers to help us celebrate. Bundles of Henry Glass' Folio Basics, Studioe's Peppered Cottons or Blank's Fusion Illusion were sent to our friends and we asked them to make something special for our blog hop. They did not disappoint! Each day we will reveal the designs on the designers' blogs and today we welcome Mark Lipinski.
Mark Lipinski
Writer, editor, quilt and fabric designer, Mark Lipinski introduced the wildly successful, The Slow Stitching Movement to quilters in June 2014 with a twice record-breaking webinar for FonsandPorter.com With that success, he expanded the concept of Slow Stitching to knitters, crocheters, and the needle arts that November. Currently, he hosts a series of "DIY quilting videos" available on CraftDaily.com, has appeared on Iowa Public Television's Quilts of Valor special hosted by Marianne Fons, and was recently a celebrity guest on the Quilt In A Day webinar series and is featured in the latest Eleanor Burns book, All Star Quilts, along with Marianne Fons, Nancy Zieman, and Alex Anderson.

He created and co-hosted, Quilt Out Loud, lifestyle show for quilters for 5 years on QNNtv.com, and does volunteer planning and presents quilts for the national Quilts of Valor Foundation.
