h+h americas 2026 was one for the books! We had the best time getting to meet members of our Cuddle® community from all over the country.
Our customers could not get enough of our Cuddle® fabrics on display, particularly our newest Quilting Cuddle® collections: Echoes of the Range and Christmas Keepsake, respectively.
Cuddle® made its mark as soon as guests arrived at h+h americas, thanks to our Western-inspired children's coat located in the display area (pictured below). Sewn by Renee Johnson and Cuddle® Ambassador Lisa Lueck, this Melly and Me pattern is made entirely of the Quilting Cuddle® "Echoes of the Range" collection fabrics including Running Wild, Saddle Ranch, Santa Fe, Westward, and Longhorn Woodland. Accompanying the coat was a children's backpack from The Cozy Patterns, sewn by Cuddle® Ambassador Laura Severson and made with Quilting Cuddle® Echoes of the Range Longhorn Black along with Cuddle 3® Woodland. These items were displayed on a blanket featuring Luxe Cuddle® Teddy Grizzly and Quilting Cuddle® Santa Fe Chocolate.
In keeping with the Western theme, this Western-inspired quilt (pictured below), sewn by Renee Johnson, was one of our most buzzed-about items; it was created with Cuddle® 3 Black, Luxe Cuddle® Llama Ivory, Luxe Cuddle® Arctic Fox French Roast, Quilting Cuddle® Longhorn Woodland and Quilting Cuddle® Santa Fe Chocolate.
The"All Spice" quilt (pictured below), sewn by Cuddle® Ambassador Lisa Lueck, also captured the magic Quilting Cuddle®. Made with a pattern by Villa Rosa, this quilt featured the Quilting Cuddle® collection Whispering Blooms.
With America's 250th anniversary just around the corner, we had to bring out our newest limited edition Cuddle® Kit : "Let Freedom Ring."
The patriotic motif continued with the "Framed Americana" quilt, made by Cuddle® Ambassador Susan Hastings, with the "Framed" pattern from Carolyn's In Stitches. Highlighting various fabrics from the Quilting Cuddle® Cottage Rose Lane Bluebonnet Collection, along with Luxe Cuddle® Hide Navy and Cardinal, this quilt was complemented by a girl's dress made of Quilting Cuddle® Cottage Rose Lane Gingham Bluebonnet by our very own Julie Olds (pattern by Butterick B4110A).
It's never too early to start preparing for the holidays, which is why we had to display our "Star Trails" quilt (pictured) made with a pattern from A Bright Corner. Sewn by Cuddle Ambassador® Susan Hastings, it features fabrics from our Quilting Cuddle® Christmas Keepsake collection along with Quilting Cuddle® Cardinal, Forest, Juniper, Melange Dark Green and Melange Red, plus Luxe Cuddle® Hide Cardinal.
Of course, quilts weren't the only items shown this year. Among this year's showstoppers were the two featured coats. The Elemental Coat, designed and made by Cuddle Ambassador® Teresa Coates of Crinkle Dreams, was sewn with Quilting Cuddle® Stonewash Sand, Navy, Jeans, Juniper, Sand and Natural. Next to it was the little girl's coat sewn by Renee Johnson, using a Butterick pattern; this sumptuous coat was made of Luxe® Cuddle Encore Loganberry and lined with Silky Satin.
Other Cuddle® attire could be found in the event's "Fashion Boulevard." Featured here was the Luxe Cuddle® Denver Black Coffee coat (Simplicity pattern) paired with a Luxe Cuddle® Milan Black long scarf, both sewn by Renee Johnson. Also showcased was the Marshmallow Cuddle® Black Cherry dress, sewn by Cuddle® Ambassador Ajaire Parello.
The bed had a quilted fitted sheet and dust ruffle made of Cuddle® 3 Natural, sewn by Cuddle® Ambassador Susan Hastings. The bolster pillow was made of Luxe Cuddle® Hide Raindrop and sewn by Cuddle® Ambassador Dawn Chace; the 26 x 26 hide pillow was also made from Luxe Cuddle® Hide Raindrop.
The 18 x 18 decorative pillow used Simplicity S9402 pattern, and was made of Luxe Cuddle® Encore Natural and Hide Navy. The 90 x 90 luxe throw featured Luxe Cuddle® Bunny Natural with added side panels. The 16 x 16 pillow used Luxe® Cuddle Glazed Vienna Raindrop. The 14 x 14 luxe throw pillow featured Luxe Cuddle® Encore Raindrop with added pom poms.
The 18 x 18 quilted luxe throw pillow from Shannon Fabrics used Luxe Cuddle® Encore Navy with added quilting, designed and sewn by Susan Hastings. The two 60 x 72 luxe throws were made in Luxe Cuddle® Powder Puff Raindrop and Glazed Vienna Raindrop, respectively.
All in all, h+h americas 2026 was a standout event with countless Cuddle® moments. The energy and excitement for all things Cuddle® were unmatched. Hands down, the most special part was getting to meet so many members of our incredible Cuddle® community and learning what a difference Cuddle® makes in their lives.
