And once again, we’re sharing one of the many wonderful creatives sharing their creations in our booth at the h+h americas show in Houston.
*
This is the talented and generous Terri Vanden Bosch sharing the many projects, as well as her fabrics with Lumin Fabrics and thread collection with Aurifil Thread, during a meet & greet in our booth yesterday.
*
Her Courageous Joy imitative is a wonderful program hosted by retailers that encourages us crafty folks to create items for those undergoing treatment for cancer.
*
As a breast cancer survivor, Terri knows first-hand what types of handmade gifts are sure to be appreciated by those receiving treatment.
*
From cuddly and warm wraps to heart-shaped pillows that protect a patient’s port from seatbelts, to pretty mats for covering those cold, metal hospital tray tables, and tote bags to carry everything one needs to and from the many doctor’s appointments a cancer patient goes to, there are patterns and instructions to help you create something heartfelt.
*
And Terri’s cheery new fabrics and colorful new threads make creating a fun experience for the maker.
*
And which batting does Terri prefer?
*
Our Hobbs Heirloom Premium Natural Cotton w/Scrim and Thermore battings, two very versatile battings with different characteristics so makers have quality batting choices for the insides of their creations.
*
We encourage shops to offer this program as a wonderful addition to their class lineups, and all who are supporting a loved one through cancer to grab a pattern, fabrics, thread and battings and start making today - these projects are a gift from the heart your loved one won’t forget.
*
We hope you all enjoy the rest of the show if you’re here, and if you’re not, we hope you enjoy the many shares from those who are here.
*
Have a great weekend,
Steph & The Hobbs Batting Team
