New Fabrics & Ideas

The last few weeks I've been shopping for new prints for next year. Over the next month or so, I will be uploading new images to my Photobucket flannel page and two cotton pages. A few are already uploaded however once I get all the new prints up, I'll let you know.

I have a few ideas for new products as well as improvements on standard favorites that I will introduce in the new year. I always welcome new ideas from you. If there is an idea you have for a new product or an improvement on a current item, please leave a comment here or drop me an E-mail.

There's still enough time to place an order for a Hot/Cold Pack or Blanket at the 2009 Sale rate and have it shipped Priority Mail to get there in time for Christmas.

Thank you so much for all your orders, making this one of the best seasons ever for Betsy Ross Linens. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas to all from me to you.

2009 Market Bag Sale!

This Sale Has Ended.
Current Market Bag Sale is
HERE.

The Market Bag Sale is finally here!




Market Bag Display at a 2004 Charity Event

The Market Bag Line was developed over six years ago. I was searching for a way to make a sturdy bag out of my growing inventory of cotton prints that I used mostly for the Hot/Cold Packs and table linens. I wanted to make a bag that was as pretty as the Chenille Totes, just as sturdy but was also reasonably priced. Canvas shopping bags were starting to pop up in alternative stores and I thought that I might be able to make a bag that was sturdier and prettier than the light plastic and canvas Eco-friendly bags for sale. It was then that I got the idea to bond a cotton print to heavy canvas.

My first prototype bag was given away as a gift. However, the four bags I made right after that I still use for grocery shopping to this day. The Betsy Ross Linens Market Bag is made to last. It's sturdy and Eco-friendly. It has a magnetic snap closure and 3/4" short handles. The bottom seams are double sewn. And, there's a wide variety of prints to choose from on my Cotton Page and Limited Edition Prints on my Cotton 2 Page. In total, there are over 180 different cotton prints to choose from! You won't find that kind of selection anywhere else.

In 2006, the Market Tote was developed. Later that year, I designed the Market Purse and Mini Market Purse exclusively for a little gift shop in Buffalo, WY, that has a strong Basque community.
