.Alfred Shaheen we are delighted to offer our collection of 1950's and 1960's vintage Alfred Shaheen hand printed panels.  Alfred Shaheen, the most famous creator of Hawaiian shirts, sarongs, aloha wear, and authentic cultural textiles and clothing, is currently the subject of a major museam retrospective May 18,  through August 8, 2010 at the San Jose Museam of Quilts and Textiles: http://www.sjquiltmuseum.org/exhibitions.html Alfred Shaheen & Christian Lane Quilters & wide quilt backing
"Alfred Shaheen wed technological innovation to socially responsible business practices in the service of revitalizing Pacific Island/Asian textile traditions to forge a fusion fasion fashion design aesthetic now recognized worldwide as a visual marker - not only of a transnational Hawaiian culture - but of a West Coast 'American' lifestyle that is informal, environmentally aware, and multi-cultural."

Benartex wholecloth quilt tops and kits, designed by Holice Turnbow, make it easy to create family heirlooms.  Wholecloth quilts are traditionally made from natural or bleached muslin.  The beauty of wholecloth quilts is from the intricate detail in the quilting.  Our basting service is a wonderful times saver for hand quilters.  And, if you are a longarm machine quilter, the printed tops are fabulous:  the wash-out design makes it easy.  Pick out a pretty FatBack® and make a reversible queen size wholecloth quilt!  See our Wholecloth page for information about creating unique custom wholecloth quilts.   See our Wholecloth Gallery!

 Wilma Cogliantry's Bella Mia Kits    Christian Lane Quilters, Bella Mia Queen Kits, by Wilma Cogliantry, were designed specifically for people who learn visually and kinesthetically.  Our kits are for people who want to quilt, but are limited in skills which involve math and memory.

Wilma Cogliantry - Quilting and My Life Unlimited Possibilities Magazine - March 2009  "...some quilters use quilting as a way to provide for their families or as a way to win prizes.  People use quilting as a way to survive losses or as a way to make records of their family's history. Some mothers us their hands to sew tiny stitches into quilts as a way to show their love for their sons and daughters."
