Let me introduce to you... Zwubber Bands!

I have a BIG announcement to make...

Zellerwear is BACK!!!

I have had an incredible opportunity fall into my lap. One in which I can use my strengths as a music teacher and a fabric artist to the best of my abilities. When teaching music, I always try to teach my students using good, quality materials while equally encouraging them to express themselves with creativity and ingenuity. I believe I have come up with a wonderful way to do just that.

May I introduce to you, Zwubber Bands!

What are Zwubber Bands, you ask?

They are 7 foot long stretch bands that come in rainbow colors; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, in rainbow order. What makes them unique and different from other stretch bands is that they can be used no only in a circle but in a straight line as well!

Each 7 foot band is closed with a light-weight buckle (which is secretly an extra-strength, crush-resistant buckle). This allows you to increase the size of your stretch band simply by adding on another 7 foot stretch band! You now can go from one class to the next class, adding or removing a band as you need. You can even separate the bands into small groups if need be, quickly and easily during class. It literally takes seconds to add or remove additional bands. Using Zwubber Bands is not only convenient, but easy and cost effective as well. 

Comparable stretch bands may come in different sizes, but are not interchangeable. You would have to purchase each size individually in order to switch sizes. That doesn't sound convenient, easy or cost effective to me, just sayin'.

Where can you get Zwubber Bands of your very own, you ask? They are coming SOON. Our Zellerwear website will be up and running soon, and they will be available at Peripole, on their website and at any Conference they will be attending this year.

If you are interested in knowing more about Zwubber Bands, you can contact me via my Facebook page or email me: zellerwear@gmail.com

May you have many creative days ahead!

I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no babies, but I DO know how to make quilts for them!

I realized tonight that I have not posted my quilts for this year. I have made and completed 3 baby quilts, a retirement quilt and have had a few "in process". All of my quilts are of my own design. It is part of the process that I love so much. So here they are, quilts of 2019:




Front of a baby quilt for my great nephew born in January, 2019. It was made in the colors of his parents wedding to represent their love coming together to create this beautiful new life.



Backing of same quilt.

Quilt finish number 2:


Finished in May for 2nd grand nephew born in June, 2019. A Block Sampler quilt of my own design for a baby born with the last name, Block.

Then we pop over to the Retirement Quilt!





When it first began - the first day, shall we say? I had about a week and a half to finish it, so it had to go quickly. The ties, I stole from my boss's office. He never noticed they were gone. I chose all polyester or cotton quilts so the entire quilt could be washable. I like my quilts to be USED. The giant tie in the center is made from quilting cotton in my boss's favorite colors - purple and pink.



Day 2.



Completed. For my boss who retired the end of the school year. Delivered June 6th, 2019. He wore a tie every day to school and would gift ties to kids that were exceptional examples of being a good student.

Back to baby quilts...




This one was completed and gifted in August for a baby due in October. They don't know "what" it will be yet, but will be surprised when it is born. I chose this pattern because I found it bright and cheerful and felt it was not gender specific.

Here it is when the quilting was finished:

Front.

And Back.


As I stated before, I also have some others in the works. I am hoping that I can complete some more and post them very soon.

Here is one of them. Quilt top made in same design as the "Block Sampler", just different fabrics.



Happy quilting!
