FABRIC SALE!

I'm taking a little vacation from my shop - still staying home but just staying out of the studio time to spend some time with the family :).  Because this could be a little inconvenient for JAQS shoppers because all orders will be processed this weekend, I am offering a 15% off coupon (JAQS15OFF) for ALL items on ALL the JAQS shops through Friday Sep 30th:

15% OFF EVERYTHING!

I'm not banning myself from email so give me a message if you want to request a custom listing :).   All orders will be mailed out first thing Monday morning.  Have a great and productive week everyone!!!

Oodles of Bundles

I had a little bit of a bundle mania the last few days after seeing my fabric closet nearly empty of bundles.

So I got to making a ton of new napkins:

Cloth napkin fan like me?  Come grab some for yourself at JAQS Studio.

and even had a chance to put together more FAT Stash bundles:

Available HERE.  (FATS only $1.25)

Had a blast cutting and sewing and now my fabric bundle closet is all stocked :) - doesn't it feel great to be PRODUCTIVE! :) 

I know I know this is all about my shops - but I can't help it.  I love how these bundles turned out and this is a great way to share my work.  Quilting could resume now ;).

When Life Gives You Scraps...

Make a QUILT! :)  I've been adding more and more napkins to JAQS Studio, so that means more and more scraps in the Studio to work with.  I think I have more than enough to make a whole quilt - yikes!  So I decided to sort through a few to start on my next scrappy quilt project. 



More pictures to come :) - gotta go back to more scrap sorting.

Have a great and productive week!

Napkin Set Giveaway at Sweet Greens

If you have ever visited my home or seen my online Etsy shop, you would know I am a fabric napkin user.  I switched from paper to fabric over 2 years ago and I am HOOKED. Making them from quality cotton prints makes the napkins super easy to wash (quick wash and dry in the machine), inexpensive (compared to heavier fabrics) and lightweight & slim so I could slip in a my pocket or lunch bag. I love them because I could use them over and over again (read: LESS WASTE, SAVE MONEY and of course better for the environment and all that good stuff :)). With 2 young kids, we are always dealing with messes that are sticky, gooey and dealing with paper napkins that rip, tears and sticks on their faces is NOT good.

Need I say more? :) OK just one more perk of using cloth napkins: BEAUTIFUL prints. If you are a fabric-addict like me or just love pretty things, you would appreciate the array of fabrics out there:
