Do You Remember When QVC.....

wismiss — Thu, 13 May 2021 21:35:40 GMT

sold these brands? I was going through some older sweaters and ran across "Stitches In Time", "Storybook Knits" and of course "Quacker Factory" when Jeanne was there and sweaters were fully decorated. I have a Quaker sweater that is for a teacher with a chalkboard, crayon, etc. Needless to say, even though the sweaters are in really good condition, they are being donated. I just don't dress like that since I retired. I really enjoyed watching those shows because you just never knew what was coming up next.

Stitches in Time - I had tons of those sweaters.

The ones I loved the most though were from a lovely woman from FLorence Italy, Gabriella T. She was a lovely as her sweaters. I still have one, a short sleeve tunic, very colorful.

@SilleeMee Yes, I have a pile of Storybook Knits. They're works of art. I would've bought many more if they'd stuck around. I still wear them occasionally, especially the hot air balloon one.

Loved Cardigan Bay, Storybook Knits and Quackers sweaters. Still have around 3; the others made it to thrift 15 years ago.

Does anyone remember the Quacker suede jackets? There were about 3 themes from which to choose. One was wild African animals, one I can't remember and mine is a Western theme with running wild horses, which I still have. It's the only time Jeanne ever did anything like that. I often wondered what possessed her?

Koos, Of Course, wasn't that a brand here? I know it was a man selling, he reminded me of Stan Herman.

If we're talking about other items besides fashion, I can't remember the brand name, but the woman threw silvery fairie dust and it was for jewelry (?).

I still have and wear a QF denm jacket that's completely appliqued with NYC skyscraper scenes. Fun to wear.

@Nancy Drew

I have a couple of Sports Savvy outfits that I still wear.

@Lucky Charm Koos was pudgy and always wore an apron. He had a very nasty disposition. I think that got him kicked out of QVC. Nothing like Stan Herman.

@Nancy Drew

That is so funny!! I just wore an old sport savy jacket!!

I have had it for years!! it is a jersey zip up jacket that went with a sleeveless top and crop pants. On the hanger, it can look kinda frumpy. It's navy with white stiching and checkboard print on the collar. But on, it really looks cute. STILL!! The top and pants are long gone. But that jacket is an oldie but a goodie.

Especially because I am at an age where, a jean jacket with jeans is a no. LOL

Koo's kinda pushed Patty Reilly out of the way from the garment hanger and told someone off camera he never wanted to work with her again. Yep, that really happened.

@Kachina624 I do recall the suede, but did not buy one. I did get a hand knit Quacker sweater that I found at one of the outlet stores. It is a cardigan with green and red apples and pumpkins. I don't think they ever did another one of these. Lots of manufactured knits, but not hand knit.

I loved the Precious Fibers line. Their cashmere was so beautiful. I still have 2 sweaters that I won't part with. They look brand new.

@Lucky Charm Kirk's Folly with Jennifer something.

My favorite sweater brands were Gabriella T and Precious Fibers. I also liked Jessica Holbrook.

@Lucky Charm The jewelry line you're thinking of is Kirks Folly. Still sold at QVC. She still blows the fairy dust during the presentation. They sometimes have shows on QVC2.

@Linmo - Jenniefer Kirk is the vendor of Kirk's Folly.

@Kachina624 - There were four. I have three. The horses, the African theme, a blue one with sunflowers and a green one with pumpkins/fall theme.

The only one I didn't get was the green.

Jeanne said at the time that she'd always wanted to do the suede jackets but the buyers wouldn't okay it. When they finally did, she jumped on it and couldn't believe the price they brought them in at.
