BETTER THAN CANDY
I know quilters love flowers and they love chocolate, but if you really want to give a quilter a treat–add gorgeous fabric in stunning colors to her stash!
ARE THERE MORE THAN ONE “KONA COTTONS”???
I recently contacted Kaufman Fabrics about their Kona cotton.
I LOOOVE the colors and love how free motion quilting looks on Kona cotton– but, I was a little confused…
- I have purchased Kona cotton labeled Robert Kaufman at my local quilt shop...
- But I also find “Kona” cotton–not labeled as Kaufman fabrics--at JoAnn Fabrics...
Is there a difference???
THERE IS ONLY ONE KONA COTTON
Here’s the response I received from Teresa Coates at Robert Kaufman Fabrics:
Kona Cotton Solids are sold at both independent fabric retailers and Joann Fabrics and Craft stores. We sell the exact same quality of product to both and while there has been lots of talk online about different quality standards, that isn’t true. Any inconsistencies are not from our end since we only produce one Kona cotton, but in 271 colors!
So there you have it folks! There’s only one Kona cotton and it doesn’t matter from whom you buy it!
TREAT YOURSELF
If you are looking for a real treat–buy yourself a Kona Fat Quarter Bundle. Free Motion quilting looks fabulous on Kona cottons. The colors are beautifully rich!
Fat Quarters are the perfect size to practice Free Motion Quilting and for making small vase quilts! (See yesterday’s Turtle Quilt and the Turtle Tutorial earlier this week…)
Happy Stitching!
