Hello Blog Hoppers! Today is my day to celebrate the Jaftex 85th Birthday!
If you are new to Jillily Studio, welcome!!
Hi, I'm Jill Finley. I love fabrics!
I have been designing collections for Henry Glass (a Jaftex company) for over six years now, and it has been a delight. Such great people to work with and such a fun project! In the last post (see below) I showed you my newest collection, Bicycles and Blooms, which will be coming to shops in December.
I know by now that you have been reading all about this wonderful company, so I won't repeat all of that. Let's get to the celebration!
Hi, I'm Jill Finley. I love fabrics! I have been designing collections for Henry Glass (a Jaftex company) for over six years now, and it has been a delight. Such great people to work with and such a fun project! In the last post (see below) I showed you my newest collection, Bicycles and Blooms, which will be coming to shops in December.
I know by now that you have been reading all about this wonderful company, so I won't repeat all of that. Let's get to the celebration!
Henry Glass (and the other Jaftex companies) sent each of their designers a packet of fabric and said, "Make something with this."
And so we did.
My fabric bundle was a fun bunch of brights from the Folio Basics group.
I waited until the last moment to get my project going (of course). So I quickly pieced together some cute flowers, and then I just HAD to add a bit of appliqué to make it an official "Jillily" project.
It was done in a flash, and turned out better than expected! (Sometimes it works like that. and sometimes I have to throw it away and start over--does that ever happen to you?) It helps that it is a small project--only 36" square--perfect for a table topper.
I'm calling this one "BLACK-EYED SUSAN."
Maika did a quick and beautiful job of quilting it for me in a matter of a few hours. (I should have just waited for it, rather than driving home after dropping it off--like waiting for your kid at a dentist appointment.)
Here is another view of it. I am planning to release the pattern at Fall Market (or sooner if I get ambitious.) Watch my website for it to arrive. I will also have a few kits available.
Now, I know you want to win prizes, so be sure to enter. I will post the entry wizard again to show you all the ways you can enter. Any comment you leave on this post from now until Sept 30 will enter you. And there are 13 other ways to enter. Plus you can enter each day on each designer's post! Wow. Now that is generous. The prizes are amazing--thousands of dollars in fabric, sewing machines, threads, needles, etc.
I also want to award a prize to one of MY followers. So leave me a comment, follow my blog, (and like Jillily Studio on Facebook) and you could win a bundle of fabric, and a bunch of Jillily stuff!
A couple of patterns, an Applique Kit, and fabric. That's a fun prize!
Here are the Jaftex prizes and how to enter:
