This November 22nd will mark the 94th anniversary of the Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. A tradition started back in 1924, this highly publicized ensemble of larger than life balloons featuring popular movie characters, magnificent floats, and entertaining performers from around the nation draws over 22 million television viewers and a sea of brave onlookers straddling the often cold parade route thru the streets of Manhattan with child-like anticipation of the final hallmarked Snoopy balloon at the processions end. An unofficial segue into the Christmas holiday season, not only is it a festive occasion and a parade of fabulous fabrics, but a reminder to quilters, artisans and craftsmen that the countdown to completion (or maybe the start) of their projects has now begun.
For many of our J&O seamstresses, this is the time to rack up on warm NFL fleece and cotton for requested hand-crafted gift items for friends and loved ones. For our holiday entertainers, our selection of seasonal home decor fabrics reignite a passion for dressing up house and home in winter whites, colorful prints and elegant metallics just in time for Old St Nick and family. And for our detailed quilters, it marks a time to gather in-demand themed novelty fabric for treasured grandchildren and awaiting strangers less fortunate. From Timeless Treasures and Alexander Henry to Vern Yip, Covington and Duralee, the list of textile mills on hand for the holiday season seems never ending.
