85th Anniversary Blog Hop
Welcome! Jaftex is the parent company of Henry Glass & Co., Studioe Fabrics and Blank Quilting and we are excited today to kick off the celebrations for the Jaftex 85th Anniversary Blog Hop.
As we look toward the future, we would remiss if we didn’t talk about the past. Thanks to Jacob A. Fortunoff, the JAF in Jaftex, for having the guts to go out and start his own business. We could only imagine what effort was involved with starting a business from scratch in the early 1900’s. Thank you to Jacob’s sons, Everett & Dan, for their contributions to the business too. Each generation certainly faced challenges along the way and luckily no one gave up the quest to keep Jaftex alive. There is no doubt that all of these Fortunoff ancestors are looking down at us and smiling to know that their legacy lives on.
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 Splash 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. We are starting the blog hop with Kim Diehl guest posting on the American Patchwork & Quilting blog. Enjoy!
September 30 – Teresa @ Third Floor Quilts
Another fun part of the celebrations is the contest. Winners will receive fabric of course but also some great prizes from our quilt industry friends. The first prize winner will win a Janome Skyline S5, the second place winner will win a big box of Aurifil thread and the third prize will win a lovely tin with special goodies from Schmetz Needles. Jaftex Corp. thanks special thanks to Janome America, Aurifil and Schmetz Needles for their prizes.
