Betty Blais

An award-winning and internationally-collected quilter, Betty Blais has been designing quilts, teaching, and writing about quilt and craft making for fifteen years.  In 2001, Betty and her husband Greg started Embellishment Village in response to repeated student requests for sources of small quantities of embellishment materials.  Betty’s research revealed no such source, so Embellishment Village was born to fill the void.  The company not only carries beads, charms, yarns and sequins, but also specializes in supplying patterns coupled with pre-packaged embellishment kits.  These contain all of the embellishments needed to complete the project defined by the pattern.  The latest embellishment product to make a splash in the marketplace is Angelina “Hot Fix” fibers.  Although new, even these are included in some of the company’s embellishment kits and Betty has written the booklet “Amazing Angelina” to help you get started with this fun fiber.  Check out their innovative products by touring Embellishment Village at www.embellishmentvillage.com.
