Jaftex Celebrates 85 Years! Bloghop & Giveways all Month!

85 years ago, Jacob A. Fortunoff (JAF of Jaftex), began peddling fabrics in New York City.
Their focus at the time was women's sleepwear and lingerie! 


Today, Jaftex is a leader in the quilting industry. Jacob’s grandson, Robert, changed the business of the company in the 1980’s, when he purchased companies like A.E. Nathan, Henry Glass, Stylemaker, Chanteclaire, Fabric Editions/Studioe and more recently The Blank Quilting Corp..


September marks the 85th Anniversary of Jaftex, and they sure know how to celebrate---
30-days of Blog-hop-bliss!!


Giveaways are scheduled at each stop throughout the Bloghop!
Fabric bundles will be awarded from:
Blank Quilting Corp., Studioe, & Henry Glass Fabrics!
The celebration is also sponsored by
Janome!  
and the Grand Prize includes a Janome Skyline S5 Sewing Machine!!

  6. I would have to choose Fat Quarter Shop.....don't have close Quilt shop close to us, only Jo-Ann's.

  7. OhioLori wrote what I was going to write -- I shop at Jo-Ann's because there isn't a local quilt shop, so I would have to say the fat quarter shop online as well. sarah@forrussia.org
