My day on the Jaftex 85th Anniversary Blog Hop

Jaftex, a family run textile business, is Celebrating a Milestone!  Happy 85th Anniversary, Jaftex!

Jaftex is the parent company for Blank Quilting, Studioe Fabrics, and Henry Glass Fabrics. In celebration of this milestone event, I was invited to participate in this exciting blog hop. This blog hop is packed full of fabulous giveaways from each of the participants, so be sure to check out the JAFTEX page tab under my blog header for the full schedule, and follow along to see what everyone has created!

To help us celebrate, I've invited the Teddy Bears....



I received a fat quarter bundle of Fusion Illusion from Blank Quilting for my project. It took me quite a while to figure out what I wanted to make. Those fabrics finally whispered something about wanting to become Teddy Bears. But the whole time I was working on those blocks, all I could think about was Gummy Bears! Those bright, vibrant prints are so yummy!




Just look at the fun texture of the Fusion Illusion. Those rich, swirly prints remind me of the good times spent finger painting back in Kindergarten class. And it gives the illusion of cuddly, fluffy fur on those bears!









Searching through (my stash), I found the perfect background fabric. It is Crystal Palace by Whimsies & Wishes for Studioe Fabrics. This subtle text print was just what those bright bears needed. And the winter words helped keep me cool in the July heat as I pieced and pressed.




For the quilting, I used my organic wavy lines with my walking foot. Always a fun and fast finish, and a pleasure to perform. Those of you who are regulars around here have seen this method used on many of my quilts. But for anyone visiting for the first time today, you may be interested in watching this video showing how I quilt my wavy lines.




The binding is Folio by Henry Glass Fabrics. Another piece found in . I used my most familiar binding method to sew the binding first to the back and then topstitched from the front of the quilt. It was great to be able to include fabrics from all three of the Jaftex companies in this project. Making this finish all that much more special!




Teddy Bears was the 47th use of my 100 labels ordered from Ikaprint.





Teddy Bears finished at approximately 40" x 40" using 10" finished size bear blocks. And this is NOT paper pieced. If you are interested in making your own version of the Teddy Bears quilt, please click here to purchase the pattern.





Sending out a great big THANK YOU! to Linda Lum DeBono for all her hard work in organizing this blog hop and for offering us the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful celebration.

This is just too cute. I might make this for my great nephew, he would love it!

Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirl said...

What a fantastic use of the Fusion Illusion fabric, Lorna! I love how the swirls do give the bears "fur" and texture. :)

Anita said...

Your quilt is super cute, Lorna! The fabric is perfect for the Teddy Bears!

Unknown said...

I would make another quilt maybe a star themed quilt, but the Bears are super fun I would eventually use the pattern to make a cute quilt for a crib.

Pedal Sew Lightly said...

Adorable little bears in some sweet colors! I would use your pattern but I'd have to use a different background since my stash doesn't contain that print. Probably a solid gray. Thanks!

Lace Faerie said...

Lorna,
The link you provided for the bear construction video is going to your post on the houses quilt! Oops!
Looking forward to learning the how-to on your beautiful bears!

Lace Faerie said...

I love the Bears' fur from the swirls, bit I could also see flowers florets, like oversized lilacs or hydrangeas.

ledamewood said...

I always know I'll use fabric in a quilt, but your bear quilt is so special I would make it.

QuiltLaughLove said...

I would definitely make those adorable teddy bears!

Cut&Alter said...

Love these teddy bears. I can now see the piecing that goes into these in a different light having started making my DGC blocks! Will have to wait for someone I know to have a baby!!

Julia D @ Jada's Quilting Adventures said...

Pretty bundle! I think I would make a quilt that would look like a stained glass art piece. The bundle reminds me of stained glass pieces in a heritage home.

Wow! Great fabric and I would love to make the wonderful teddy bear quilt. Thanks for the opportunity.

Karen said...

It would be great to win these wonderful fabric - I would sure make this fun teddy bear quilt!

Michele T said...

Oooooh!! I love these bears and I'd want to make a quilt using your pattern! So darn cute!!! Thanks Lorna!

KaliaContiki said...

My husband is addicted to gummi Bears - I think a quilt full of them for his hobby room (he makes car models) would be perfect with those fabrics! KaliaContiki@gmail.com

Dana Gaffney said...

I would absolutely use the bear pattern for the fabric and then maybe a Dog Gone quilt too, the colors and swirls are perfect.

Judyk said...

If I were lucky enough to win the fat quarter bundle and the pattern I would make the quilt to be used for the next baby shower.

Kathy H said...

Bonnie58 said...

Love the quilt. I would love to make one if these bright bold colours. Thanks for sharing

Karen said...

Yes, I would definitely make teddy bears. Or maybe doggone cute pups! Or I could make another Elephant Parade quilt with colorful elephants. Maybe there's enough fabric to make multiple quilts, even if there are fewer animals on each one...

France Nadeau ❅ inspiration imagination creation said...

Beautiful! The fabric is indeed perfect for your bears' fur. What a clever idea to use it for this animal. You are so talented with animals. :-) Thank you for the giveaway and have a great day!

France Nadeau ❅ inspiration imagination creation said...

Me again... I didn't even answered the question for the giveaway... I think this fabric would be perfect for anything relating to nature. I would surely use it for flowers, leaves, butterflies and birds.

Unknown said...

Those bears are adorable, but I would have to use the fabric for a jewel box quilt. I've always wanted to make one, and those colours would be perfect!

Sarah said...

I would use it in a Spinning Star quilt I'm planning right now. I would use the bear pattern too, for making shower gift quilts! I love it! sarah@forrussia.org

dawn said...

I love the bears and would make that quilt.

hot needle & burnt thread said...

Oh, definitely the bears.

Joy said...

I'm making "Dog Gone Cute" right now, but I would definitely make another for a baby gift if I won this fat quarter bundle. Thanks for the chance to win.

Carla S said...

I would make a rainbow wall quilt or use the bears pattern.

lauraluvsloons said...

I love your quilts and would love to make a "Dog Gone Cute" quilt next.

The teddie bears are super cute, but I'd probably make something else since I don't have anyone to gift a teddie bear quilt to.

I probably wouldn't make the bear quilt. It is very cute, but right now I'm planning graduation quilts for teenagers. I'd use the fabric in one of those.

Sharon Tucker said...

Those bears are absolutely adorable!! and the colors!! I'm currently working on the Dog Gone Cute QAL but bears could be next!!

~Laurie~ said...

I think I might like to try the teddy bear quilt as a baby shower gift. It's adorable! Thanks for the chance to win the bundle!

Anonymous said...

You make the cutest quilts Lorna. I just love them. I would have to make some gummy bears for sure with that pretty fabric line with all the delicious colors. Thank you for a chance at winning.

Daryl @ Patchouli Moon Studio said...

Lorna the teddy bears are just darling! Since I don't have any young children and my grandson already has plenty of quilts from me, I would use the fabric for something else if I was lucky enough to win. But I would make the teddy bears quilt just in case I was lucky enough to have another grandchild one day! Heck I might even make the teddy bears for me they are so cute!!!

Quilting Tangent said...

I would make a different quilt. 24Tangent@gmail.com

VA said...

If I won, I would make a baby quilt using your adorable teddy bear pattern!

Rina Mason said...

I would use them with the teddy bear pattern and make a charity quilt. Rina

Dawn said...

The quilt is adorable. I would probably make a pinwheel quilt because I have no little ones to enjoy the Bears.

Linda said...

Making a teddy bear quilt sounds like the perfect thing to do with the fabric!!!

Lori said...

Oh how your quilt is yummy. I would love to make a similar quilt.

Laura said...

Your bear pattern is another winner. Since I don't have any little ones to make a quilt for at this point, I'd use the fabrics for something else. Perhaps a lap quilt for a friend. Not sure which pattern yet. Love all the closeup photos so you can see the design in these great fabrics.

gab said...

A teddy bear quilt likes yours for sure!

Pine Point Cathy said...

You're right - the fabric gives the illusion of fur so it would have to be an animal of some sort. The teddy bears are adorable! basaran.family@rogers.com

Anja @ Anja Quilts said...

I love the teddy bears. You continue to surprise and impress me. Such creativity to come up with these wonderful animals. I would definitely make teddy bears if I won.

Those teddy bears are pretty dang cute! I don't need a baby quilt right now so I would use the fabrics for a colour wheel quilt.

Knittingdancer on Ravelry said...

i would use the fabric to make a teddy bear quilt or the dog quilt.

PegP said...

Oh Lorna, you just keep these adorable patterns coming! How cute are these bears! I might use it for the bears or even the puppies.

Those Teddy Bears are so adorable! The colors are so vibrant too! I'm not sure I'd use the Teddy Bear pattern right now, but I know I'll be having some great grands in the future as my grandson got married in May. I guess I could plan ahead and go on with the quilt to have it ready!!
I do love that bundle. Your quilt is quite an inspiration!

Ellen said...

Love this quilt. My grandson would be thrilled if I made him a quilt like this.

Anonymous said...

I'm at the in-between stage, grandkids too old for teddy bears and not old enough to give me great grandkids (thank goodness!) So, I'd use the Fusion Illusion bundle to make a strip pieced chevron quilt.

Renee said...

I'd use the bundle for quilting! Not sure what pattern I would use though.

Ioleen said...

What a beautiful and colourful quilt. I have a number of your patterns but not sure I have this one. It will be in my collection of animals.

Diana @ Red Delicious Life said...

This project is just so cute, but honestly, if I were to win that bundle I would consider using it for your Wow-E pattern that I got a few months back. It's just sitting there, waiting for the right fabric to come along. Also I really love that background fabric you chose. It's gorgeous.

Sandra Walker said...

Great pattern Lorna, I see some gummy bears too! Fabulous fabric, but if I won I would probably not use it for your bears...unless I made a crib size and donated it. I have no babies in the family! I would use some of the fabric in my (as yet unsewn, but fabric collected) Lake quilt, and use the rest in a bright and happy summer quilt!

Joyce Carter said...

Lorna, you always come up with the cutest animal patterns and this quilt is just way too cute. If I were lucky enough to win, I would love to make the bear quilt. I love Teddy Bears and this would go so well with all my others. Thank you so much.

Sandi said...

I honestly don't know what I would make with those fabrics, but I'm sure it would be lovely. I do know I'm going to have to get some of that background fabric, I adore text fabrics and that one is so fun.

Your teddies and dogs are too cute, I used to own a Boston Terrier so the dogs are close to my heart. Thanks for a chance to win this great collection.

Brenda said...

You created a spectacular quilt using these fabrics. I adore the way the fabric does make you think of soft fur on the bears. Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful creative day! brend_ack@yahoo.com

The Teddy bears are really cute. They remind me of one of my first quilts which was an appliqued teddy bear on a baby quilt for my nephew who is now 31. I'd love using those bright fabrics for more baby quilts.

Shelina (formerly known as Shasta) said...

I love the bright coloring, and this quilt looks like it would be a great project for a baby quilt. The gummy bears are adorable too, so yes, I could easily see myself making that.

I love how bright your pattern is with the fabric bundle. Would love a copy of your pattern to try.

I see gummy bears and they look good enough to eat.

I'm loving all of your animal quilts. I'd definitely make one.

That fabric is perfect for the Bears! And yes! I'd use this fabric for a couple of baby quilts to keep on hand.

I don't know if I would make the bears right away as I don't know anyone that is having a baby soon, but I would eventually make a baby quilt using the teddy bear pattern. I would probably use the fabric in another quilt first.

It would have to be the teddy bears as we have the sweetest little nephew that it would be perfect for and the colours tie in perfectly with his bright bedroom.

Not really sure what exactly I would make if I won, but I love the fabric.

I'd make a quilt, but other than that, I don't know.

I love the teddy bears...so creative. And it looks easy enough for a beginner quilter like me.
