If you're a returning customer, we're glad to see you back, and we are sure you'll enjoy the many new features of our site. Here's a bit of information about us and our company: Jukebox has been providing unique, whimsical, and whimsical patterns and products for the quilt market for the last thirteen years. Kelly Gallagher-Abbott started this company with Julie Padbury in 1992, hence the name Jukebox (Ju + ke), and we began marketing quilt label stamps and a few patterns by one of our talented artists and designers, Cindy Cooksey. Julie moved from the area (and we've missed her!), but despite that loss, we've grown from those few rubber stamps and those two patterns to a team of fifteen or so designers, and many behind the scenes employees, so that we are always providing you with great new stuff! Our products are marketed internationally. We are happy to ship to quilters, shops, and distributors, and are always looking for new designers and products to complement our line.
In addition to our pattern line, we offer the best in textile pigments for quilters. Tsukineko has a great product called All Purpose Ink. These wonderful pigments make anyone into an artist! We've found kids do great with these products, and have created many wonderful fundraising quilts for schools and other non-profit organizations. Anyone can be a quilter, and we'd love to share this work with you through our gallery of kid's quilts.
Kelly is past president of the Southern California Council of Quilt Guilds www.SCCQG.org. She also lectures and teaches at conferences, guilds, shops and at her studio. For more information, check out our class information page for the latest class offerings. She is also the curator of the Hoffman Challenge, an international competition and traveling exhibit sponsored by Hoffman California Fabrics.
Another aspect of our company is our exciting studio called The FiberMuse. We've over 1800 sq. feet of studio space! Kelly and colleagues design and work here, and we've installed an Gammill Optimum Longarm with the Statler Stitcher, a computerized machine that enables us to custom design the quilting for your quilt with absolute perfection. We can quilt your quilt with an edge to edge pattern, or do heirloom quality quilting that would not be achievable with hand guided machines. This quilting is quite affordable, and we are happy to consult with you every step of the way. We can do the quilting for you using some of our unique quilt patterns or you can come take lessons on the machine and quilt your own quilts! Kelly is a sales rep for Gammill and Statler, so we welcome you to visit to learn more about these great machines.
We teach many classes here, and would be happy to add you to our mailing list for the opportunity to learn from our many talented and award winning designers. If your group has a chance, make it a fieldtrip, and come by this creative place dedicated to creativity and quilting! We have a great space for any of your special projects, or would be happy to provide a few fun demos or customized class! There are some wonderful things coming out of this studio, including some great fundraising quilts, new designs and exciting new products for Jukebox, and quilts we're making for other companies. You may want to wear a hardhat, because innovation and creative ideas are constantly flying through and rebounding off others! So plan on a little escape every time you enter!
