FEATURED ARTIST
Veronica Cox, Bear Thread Designs

Quilting has always been a craft that tells a story. Each generation learns from the previous and adds their touch to it before passing it forward. One company that is helping quilters tell their story is Bear Thread Designs, Inc.

A manufacturer of the Applique Pressing Sheet, a non-stick craft sheet designed to make fusible applique easier, Bear Thread is family-owned and operated by Texan Veronica Cox.

Veronica travels, giving lectures, teaching classes and providing demonstrations. She will be teaching on the Sew Fun Cruise in February 2013 sailing out of New Orleans. Her Applique Pressing Sheet is used by a number of the most popular fusible applique artists today including McKenna Ryan, Carol Morrissey and the artists of Bigfork Bay Cotton Company.
