eNews for our Wholesale Customers
Hello & welcome!
 
It's September and if you're thinking that means we have a new pattern to roll-out, then you're RIGHT!
Earlier this month we released the Triple Play. Many of you have been following the development of this design on our Blog, but  here's an interior pic showing its 2 roomy pouch areas AND zipper Core pocket.
The sample at left is shown with a ruched cord trim AND a pieced kaleidoscope front panel, but this bag can also be made with a pleated ruffled edge and a flat front panel (click here).
You can find our products listed with Checker, Brewer and United Notions but remember, we are always happy to sell product directly to our customers if that is preferable to you!

From the Trade Show Floor
  • Will we See you at Fall Quilt Market?-       A month from now my husband and I will be on the road in Houston, TX to vend at the Fall International Quilt Market. Will YOU be attending?

From the IT Department
  • Have You Tried OneNote?- It's a lot like Word but even better actually. It's really great place for saving notes and links for future use. Kinda like bookmarking only WAY BETTER!

From Where I Sit
  • Coloring Books for Adults- Here's a secret of mine... I LOVE to color. Yep, that's right, I'm talking about with crayons or colored pencils. It's how I relax...unwind.
