J&O Crafty Customer: Jenny’s Angels

Posted on October 15, 2014 by Netfah for Jandofabrics

As our Facebook Fan page continues to grow, more and more of our crafty customers are showing off their cool creations for our J&O family and community to view, share and comment on. One such fan is Karen Jordan of Jenny’s Angels, a line of custom made aprons and christening outfits designed in honor of Karen’s best friend Jenny who passed awaiting a kidney transplant. For Karen, all babies are angels, and since her line is named for Jen, a portion of every design sold is donated to the American Diabetes Foundation in her name . Jenny also loved butterflies, so on all of Karen’s custom christening gown designs there is a butterfly somewhere. Since Karen is a religious follower of our J&O Fabrics acebook page, she is constantly replenishing her fabric stock with cool prints from our store and has this to say about our fabulous collection of Michael Miller prints and more…

Posted on September 30, 2010 by Phil

The fantastical elements of fairy tales and children’s stories can often be irresistible. Who can forget Cinderella’s mouse friends – Gus and Jaq – from Disney’s classic film.
