J&O Customer Poll: Top 10 Loved Fabrics

As a fabric lover who also works at a fabric store, I am privy to not only the latest and hottest top shelf fabrics as soon as they come off the truck, but a plethora of textiles that I may not normally have come in contact with along my journey. From popular new novelty cotton prints for 2011, to elegant mid-century Maharam decorator designs, if you were to ask me to list my favorite, it might just take a few days. But such a question shouldn’t go to waste , and so the crew at J&O Fabric Store decided to let our curiosity be fed as we posed this poll to our fabulous facebook fans. Afterall, knowing what our craft customers like most, gives us an idea of which fabrics we should purchase more of to keep our customers satisfied.With so many fabric-holics as fans of our J&O facebook page, it didn’t take any time at all for the feedback to start pouring in. From faux furs and brocades to Michael Miller and Amy Butler, the selection was as diverse as the people who voiced them.

J&O Celebrates Female Inventors Thru Fabric!

With Women’s History Month coming to a close, J&O Fabrics would like to take a final moment to showcase some of our well know prints inspired from some not so well known female inventors. From ‘ Retro Kitchen Supplies’ and ‘Laundry Essentials’ prints, to ‘Pink Lingerie’ and ‘Chocolate Cookies’ designs, the creativity of the female spirit is never ending.

Back in the day, many women had to hide behind fictitious names or their male counterparts in order to see their unique creations manifest into fruition. Often times, the inventions of women never saw the light of day until they were first ‘ invented’ by a man. Today, more and more women are being recognized and honored for their creations, and people are taking notice.
