Welcome Fabric Fans!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend as we continue onward into the holiday season and the end of the year! As the weather gets colder and colder, you might want to hurry up on your next project so you have plenty of quilts to keep everyone in the family warm. Let’s dive into my favorite December shipping collections! Gypsy Flutter is my favorite shipping collection from The Blank Quilting Corp. The colors are so rich and royal feeling. I love the artistic take on the leaves. They are as if they have been stamped onto the fabric using real leaves. The whimsical foliage and flowers are enchanting to take…

Starting on Thursday, December 7, 2023, through December 15, 2023, I will post a question on my @jaftexpresident Facebook Page. These are not challenging questions at all so just about anyone can win if you have a good answer to the question.

Would you believe that we are nearing the end of the 3-month journey that I like to call #ScottSentMe2023? (My challenge to consumers to see how many quilt shops they can visit in the months of September, October & November). Well, I hate to break it to you, but if you include today, there are only 4 days left to play. I know…..you feel like I feel…..very sad! But seriously, you all know that you can still cover a nice bunch of shops in 4 days. So keep the party….I mean the car rolling. You never know, your visits these last days could be the difference between you winning or…

In October, I attended the Quilt Market in Houston. Seeing all my fabric peeps at the Quilt Market got me thinking about how thankful I am for all the people in my life as I couldn’t do what I do without them. Let me start off by saying, “Thank you” to everyone in my work and personal life. A person just can’t say thank you enough as my mom instilled upon me as a child. Now, I would like to call out some specific groups of people for which I am so thankful: Customers: I must start at the beginning and say thanks to all of our Jaftex customers. Without you…

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Let’s get right into my favorite shipping collections for November. Time Travel by Urban Essence Designs is my favorite collection shipping this month for The Blank Quilting Corp. This steampunk collection has a rich color palette with teal, copper, bronze, and grey.

Check out the Bridges Quilt and Reversal Quilt which is shown below on our website and purchase them from Quilting Renditions. Let your mind be curious and explore these steampunk prints. Gears and gadgets decorate top hats. Shiny copper pipes come together in a maze-like formation. Blimps and…

I am struggling to find the words to sum up Quilt Market 2023! Instead, I am posting two pictures. Every picture is worth at least 1000 words. Here are two photos for you to work with. I look forward to your comments. Have a great week!

Since Halloween is a day away I wanted to highlight my favorite Halloween collections from each line. Each one is frightfully fun and sure to have your bones rattling. I hope everyone has a Halloween full of treats and fewer tricks. Halloween Ball by Henry Glass is full of party monsters. Be sure to keep their glasses full and the candy stocked. Count Dracula might be thirsty for your blood to re-energize after boogying. Witches, mummies, and Frankenstein will take to the dance floor tonight as well. These monsters have just been wanting to party. Check out a unique quilt that you can create with this collection, pictured below. Hello…
