Tales Of A Fourth Generation Textile Executive: Watch Out Pittsburgh, Here Comes Studioe!
It is Wednesday morning, and as promised, let the consistency begin for my blog…here we go, one in a row.
I am rolling now. So the madness continues in the Jaftex offices as the team puts the finishing touches on the quilt market presentations and boy are they going to be a doozies….if I couldn’t say so myself.
First off, if you aren’t able to make it to market, please check out my YouTube review of the 11 new quilt market releases.
If you are going to market, please don’t watch the video so we can dazzle you in person. Studioe will be at booth 735 with winning quilts from the Colorful Peppered Cotton Challenge flying high. The booth will also be decorated using fabric from the Pearle line which has shiny pearlescent metallic. Come check it out and make sure to say hello to me and let me know that you are a fan of Studioe and my blog, of course. I may have a surprise for you. Henry Glass will be located at booth 727 so while you are visiting me, please make sure to go check out their great new lines as well.
Secondly, please come and see Studioe at booth 76 at Sample Spree and Henry Glass at booth 77. Studioe and Henry Glass will be offering mostly fat quarter bundles and cigar rolled fat quarters assorted in 10 piece bundles a.k.a. mish-mosh. The lines that will be offered from Studioe will include: Peppered Cottons, Pearle, Pirouette, Cream & Sugar, Watermark and Just Color! Make sure to get a discount coupon for Sample Spree by attending the Studioe School House, entitled The Shot Cotton Party Continues.
Thirdly (is that a word?), Speaking of School House, Pepper Cory will once again be the emcee extraordinaire on Thursday from 11:35 to 12:05 in room 316 where she will discuss what is new with her Peppered fabric lines. Goodies will be given out, new fabrics and solid shot cotton colors will be introduced, contest winner’s projects will be displayed and Pepper will take questions. Make sure to listen closely for details about the free freight promotion being offered on Pepper’s new lines of solids and fancies. Come check us out before lunchtime and try to arrive early as last year there was standing room only. I am hoping to have that high class problem again this year….fingers crossed.
Finally, if you would like to make an appointment with myself, or one of my able co-workers, to review the new lines, please email me at scott@jaftex.com. Also, you are always welcome to just stop by without an appointment and we will be sure to accommodate you. Thanks so much for your time. Hoping to see you next week in Pittsburgh! And make sure to come back next Wednesday to see my next blog and the Wednesday after that and the Wednesday after that to infinity. Go Studioe!
Safe Travels!
Scott
