It is one of the best experiences in life. The only thing that can make it better is if you are desperately searching for a solution when you find this product by accident. Such was the case for me.
A product I have used for years went through some changes and I found myself searching for a replacement when a friend asked if I had ever tried Floriani® Products. I had not, but I immediately began looking for them. I contacted several Quilt Shops before finding one that carried the Floriani Products, but once I tried it I fell in love. I couldn’t believe these products had existed for years and I didn’t know about them. Not only did I not know about them, but the Quilting World I live in, except for a very small group, did not know about them and I made it my mission to change that!
I phoned the office of RNK Distributing looking for the creator of the Floriani Product Line, and was referred to Kay Brooks. When Kay got the message she called and we scheduled a meeting to discuss these amazing products I had never been aware of. I explained to Kay how much I loved using the products but I was perplexed that very few people in the Quilting World knew about them or had access to them through their local Quilt Shops. I wanted to change that for the good of the industry.
Within a matter of minutes Ricky (not my Ricky Tims), but Kay’s husband (and by now you know Ricky and Kay are the RNK Founders) asked a question that will no doubt have a major impact on the Quilting Industry. He asked me if I would like to work with Kay to build a line of quilting Products per my specifications using the adhesives and fusibles Kay had created for Floriani that would be distributed exclusively through Independent (no chains or mass) Retailers?
