With summer quickly passing by and sun worshipers trying desperately to slow her pace down, many find themselves scrambling to prepare for one of the seasons biggest festive occasions… the Fourth of July.

Celebrated on that day with fireworks, cook outs, commemorations, and trips to the shore, Independence Day offers a time for reflection, human connection, great food and so much more. At J&O we keep our special occasion fabrics stocked year round for our quilters and artisans to gather and coordinate their projects and quilts well before the rush. Here are a few such popular themed prints and designs to fit the holiday theme and offer nostalgia.

With the closing of one year and the opening of another, many of us who live by our planners often find ourselves marking off holidays and special occasions in our new date books and office/home calendars as soon as we get them. After the days off work and the days of vacation or celebration are securely implanted in our memory banks and written with countdown in mind, then come the doctors appointments, pta meetings, business conferences, and the list goes on and on.

J&O Fabrics Celebrates Memorial Day!

 As many Americans dust off their summer patio furniture, pull out their trusty grills, tame their out of control yards, and gear up for a guarenteed weekend of food and fun, still others are remembering loved ones lost, dreams deferred, and the lives of those who stood on the frontlines and so bravely defended what they believed in til the end. From traditional trips to memorial sites to honor fallen hero’s and mourn the loss of life, to the gathering of friends and family to celebrate life and the beginning of the summer season, all weekend long it seems wherever you turn, there are flags waving at half staff, parades, picnics, poppy donations, and reminders of what makes America the land of the free and the home of the brave.
