Quilting Treasures & KN Karen Neuburger Go Red for Women’s Heart Health

A new collection of premium quilting fabrics to launch at International Spring Quilt Market

Quilting Treasures™ in conjunction with the KN Karen Neuburger® lifestyle brand will introduce a new premium quilting fabric collection, Our Part for the Heart, at the 2007 Spring International Quilt Market in Salt Lake City. Quilting Treasures will donate a portion of the sales from this collection to WomenHeart, the National Coalition for Women with heart disease.

Women’s comfort goes hand in hand with women’s wellness. The KN brand’s heart theme products and comfort vision encourage women to slow down, relax with family and friends and do their part for their hearts through healthy lifestyle choices.

“Taking charge of our own health and encouraging our girlfriends, sisters, mothers, aunts and daughters to do likewise could significantly reduce our chances of being affected by the modern day epidemic of heart disease,” said Lisa Bazinet, vice president of marketing for KN Karen Neuburger. “KN is pleased to debut such a beautiful collection of fabrics related to this initiative.”

The Our Part for the Heart quilting fabric collection combines warm earth tones with reds, pinks and blues to create a charming collection of heart inspired designs in lace, calico, ombre, toile and other coordinating prints.

“This collection gives quilters the opportunity to promote wellness with others through their passion for quilting,” said Jodi Beckett, executive vice president, Quilting Treasures. “Quilters can also feel good knowing that a portion of their purchase is going toward a good cause.”

The Our Part for the Heart collection consists of eight designs available in 24 colorways. Fabrics will be available this summer at independent quilt shops worldwide.

WomenHeart is the nation’s only patient advocacy organization representing the eight million American women living with heart disease. The organization aims to improve the quality of life and quality of healthcare through its support, information and advocacy services. Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States, claiming almost half a million women’s lives each year. Fifty thousand more women than men die of heart disease each year in our country.
