Printing on Fabric Anyone?

Over the next few days Holloway's will be posting about some of our featured products for the AQS show starting September 15th in Chattanooga.  Today's featured product is a our set of 12 original flower photo prints on fabric.

Maria's granddaughter Angela is a wonderful photographer and has taken beautiful shots of some of our local flowers.  We are pleased to announce that she has been busy printing a wonderful selection of these on fabric.  The sets of 12 flowers will available for purchase at the AQS show in Chattanooga.

As you know Holloway's is a family business so the printing of the flowers fell to Angela too. From the pictures she gave us for the this blog, it looks like she may not have realized just how many she was going to need to print! Hahaha!

She definitely has been busy!

Maria has been busy too.  She designed a new pattern to go with the floral prints.  Kits for this quilt will also be available in Chattanooga.

Are we whetting your appetite yet?  Wait until you see tomorrow's featured product!

The wheels have been turning at Holloway's Country Home!

The Unglamorous Life of a Quilt Shop

So often our customers will tell one of the girls at the shop how wonderful it must be to work there. And it is! We are truly like family at Holloway's. And our customers are part of that family too. But like all quilters we have deadlines and projects that could easily overwhelm us. For the past few weeks we have been moving stock and fixtures all around the store to make your shopping experience better and to make room for all the new fabric coming in.  Check out the new Christmas look of the fireplace room.

And our new line of civil war fabrics - "Memories of the Civil War" by Studio E

Unfortunately all this rearranging put us just a little behind on a special order and on a lot of the basic things we do every week.

 

So Monday we got busy. Making potholders is not one of our favorite projects simply because we do so many (we keep small finished items in several of the National Park Welcome Centers). But we got busy and finished part of a new order.

And Jessica spent a large part of the day fusing fabric for all those die-cuts you find in the shop.

All in all I would say we have had a very productive week so far.
What about you? What projects will you tackle this week?
