On October 9th via posts on IG and FB an exciting NEW partnership was announced. The Cotton Harvest has partnered with an incredible new designer, Lisa Mortell from Washington State, to bring to ALL CANADIANS the opportunity to participate in her very first BOM program,Garden Friends.
This is Lisa's very first pattern design. It's INCREDIBLE!! It's wool on wool applique, it's extremely well written and diagrammed and her attention to detail is outstanding! The pattern uses many of the stitches in Sue Spargo's Creative Stitching book which many of us are already familiar with!
Lisa has asked The Cotton Harvest to be the exclusive Canadian distributor for this BOM that is to begin a few months into 2025. As we hammer out the details we will keep you informed but we wanted to share with you Lisa's post below announcing our partnership.
Today, I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news alongside Trina O’Rourke from The Cotton Harvest in Ontario, CA! Next year, we will be launching Garden Friends as a Block of the Month (BOM) program.
Trina will be managing all Canadian participants, while I’ll take care of our friends in the US. This collaboration means faster and more affordable shipping for everyone in Canada!
With nine years of experience in managing BOM programs, Trina has been an incredible mentor and blessing to me. Together, we’re also partnering with Jason Spargo of SueSpargo.com to custom-dye many of the wools, ensuring that our BOM closely matches the original and features the highest quality wool, proudly made in the USA.
Stay tuned! Trina and I will share more details in the coming months about the start date and registration information.
Please help us spread the word by forwarding this post to anyone who loves wool and applique, and don’t forget to like and follow both @lisamortellquilter and @thecottonharvestquiltshop for updates!
Happy stitching!
