Hello! I'm Joy and I own A Joyful Soul Fabrics. I am so excited for this Blog Hop Party organized by The Quilting Gallery! I met so many new friends during the last hop and have enjoyed reading a slew of new blogs I wouldn't have ever found if it wasn't for this little party. Enjoy!
We are a military family-owned business. Our shop specializes first in stellar customer service! Second, we want to offer you only the best in fun, funky and contemporary fabrics and patterns. Among our fave designers are Amy Butler, Tula Pink, Anna Maria Horner, Heather Bailey, etc...you get the picture!

Our Blog is loaded with awesome information, tutorials, pattern reviews and is the place where I mostly interact with people who need help with a project. Here are some of our most popular posts:
"Focus on the color purple this week to bring you luck."
