I recently recieved my order of two of Amy Butler's beautiful Temple Flowers fabrics from your shop. I was delighted with how quickly they arrived, and the handwritten note and careful way in which they were wrapped made it feel like Christmas had come early! You offer a marvelous variety on your website, and your customer service is excellent. Thank you for being there for all of us fabriholics!

Jennifer Paganelli and Carla Crim join Head Angel Heidi to discuss Honey Child and Girl’s World book at Spring Quilt Market 2011 in Salt Lake City
As a designer, Jennifer Paganelli finds inspiration in everything. Sis Boom™, her one-of-a-kind vintage products company, is the inspiration distilled from several lives: her youth in the Great Lakes region of the US, her adolescence spent in the vibrant Caribbean, her college years in traditional New England, followed by career-building in the clamor of New York City. Today, she and her company are located in leafy rolling countryside of the Northeast. It’s here where she takes a breath and gets to work everyday.
“I try to design gifts and items that help us share memories with those we love. My designs are rooted in the things I handled as a child,” says Jennifer. “The materials I choose, whether a vintage ornament or a simple cutout, elicit a memory from everyone who sees them,” she continues. “I love it when people call it ‘eye candy’ because that’s how I feel about it — it fills you right up.” Sis Boom’s fans include all kinds of people, from celebrities to traditional “crafty types“ to Folk Art collectors. In fact, for several years running, Paganelli’s designs have been placed in the American Folk Art Museum lobby glass cases.
The Sis Boom Collection, its name adopted from her childhood nickname given to her by her twin brother, defies easy categorization. With unusual artistry and a love of texture and a blend of vivid colors, Jennifer uses tag sales, flea markets and European sources as a starting point to create her art.
Jennifer’s connection to all things vintage, including fabrics, forms the basis of her textile work. She clearly identifies with their strong, saturated and lively color and seeks to incorporate these elements into her fabric designs.
