New Fabrics and Future Craft Shows

We just received many new minky prints, and are busy sewing! Included in this article are some pictures. As they are finished they will be added to our Etsy Shop. Let us know if you would like to reserve a print and custom pick the coordinating fabric! 

We have been getting many inquiries as to what craft shows we will be at this year. We have decided to stay local due to some health concerns that have left our Fall schedule very unclear. Our son, Everett, was diagnosed with medium sized VSD (a hole in-between two chambers of his heart) at the start of June. At this time it is very unclear as to whether it is getting smaller or if it is staying the same size. Our follow up in August will tell us if we will be undergoing surgery to repair or if they expect it to close on its own. 

Due to so many unknowns we are hoping to be at the following shows this Summer and Fall (I will update as we receive confirmations back.)

Mart in the Park - July 28, 2018

We list all finished pillow blankets on our Etsy Shop, and we do take orders for custom blankets. Some popular custom blankets are sports teams, tractors, flags, and other hard to find fabrics. 

2018 New Beginnings

Hello! We are so excited to share the news that Ordal Creations is going to be continuing to bring you pillow blankets!

My grandparents, Gerald and Jean Ordal, have finally commited to enjoying retirement at the end of 2017. I was blessed to be given the opportunity and responsibility of continuing to bring you pillow blankets.

This change has lead me to walk away from a traditional career path and work from home! This will also allow me to take care of our little miracle baby, Everett. I cannot express how truly grateful I am that my grandparents have entrusted me with the care of their business and amazing customer base. I hope I live up to the high standards of care they have shown over the last thirty years of growing Ordal Creations!

My husband, Austin, and I will hopefully be starting to attend some craft shows this fall. In addition I have reopened the Etsy store and started a Facebook page.

I am looking forward to connecting with many of the wonderful people who have been a part of Ordal Creations!

What is new in 2015.....

Hi everyone,
Gerald and I have been traveling all over the United States to different craft shows. We  have met some very amazing people on our travels. We wanted to say thank you to everyone who has joined us on our journey. We are starting to work towards retiring, but luckily we have family that would love to take over the family business.
We will continue to do shows this year, but 2016 will bring new faces to the crafts shows. Our granddaughter, Amanda, and her husband, Austin, will be hopefully taking over some of the shows for us. They also will be monitoring and updating this blog and our Etsy store. Unfortunately, we didn't realize some of you had been trying to reach us on this blog and our Etsy store. We are very sorry for the confusion and the lack of response to your questions. However, this will not be a problem from this point forward. We look forward to what is to come, and hope you continue with us as we move forward.
The next three shows we are going to be at are:

Just cheking in

Hi everyone I just wanted to check in and tell you what we have been up to here at Ordal Creations. We went to the fabric show in Kansas City back in May and we have begun to get our new fabrics in. I will be posting pictures as we get them sewn. We have posted some new products on our Etsy site (http://www.etsy.com/shop/OrdalCreations). Next on the list is to create a Facebook page and a Pinterest page. We would love to be more connected with our customers and we feel that social media will allow us to connect with our customers throughout the year instead of just at shows. Many of you have been with us from the very beginning and we appreciate your support and business as we have grown.

Hey everyone I just want to post for the first time in 3 years! We are very excited to announce the opening of our Etsy store. Which can be found here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/OrdalCreations. We have tried a website and this blog to sell our quilts and blankets, but we are hoping that the Etsy site will create a much easier and enjoyable shopping experience. I also wanted to post a list of shows we will be attending this year:
