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!

Off to a Great Start!

Shop Hop 2015 is off to a great start!  We have been so thrilled to see first timers and returning customers!  The first three days have been a whirlwind of customers and special guests.

Saturday was a fantastic day.  Out on the porch customers were welcomed by Maria, Sue Jones of Its Sew Sue, and Susie Cunard of Sawgrass.  These "designing women" have been cooking up some fantastic new ideas to share later in the year. So keep your eyes and ears posted for updates.

Maria even was able to sneak in some time for pictures with some of our shop hoppers!

Have you mapped out the rest of your hop yet?  Hope to see you this week at Holloway's!
