Gail created a new BOM program called "'A Merry Christmas BOM", which is a six month BOM program for retail stores. You can find a list of shops that have hosted this BOM program on Gail's blog but also feel free to share her flyer for this BOM with your favorite quilt shop, to let them know you'd like them to host such a BOM program.
Gail published her first book with Martingale, Patchwork Loves Embroidery: Hand Stitches, Pretty Projects
She designed a sweet line of fabric for Red Rooster Fabrics called "Baskets in Bloom", and designed a free downloadable pattern for this collection. This fabric line was released in September 2014.
Gail Pan will also be at Quilt Market/Houston. For those attending, be sure to pop by Gail's booth #2117 to see all of her new books and patterns and meet her in person.
Lastly, her fun book called "Simply Christmas 2014" was released earlier this year. It has 8 beautiful projects to make for your home or as a gift!
You should be able to find this book in your favorite quilt store, but if not don't forget to let them know you'd like them to carry it. They can place wholesale orders for this book directly thru Gail Pan Designs.
