NEW Quilt Jigsaw Puzzles

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Wholesale Puzzles customers have spoken: “We want more Quilt Puzzles!”  We heard an overwhelmingly large number of statements in our customer responses that you love our Americana Puzzles, and are looking specifically for a larger selection of Quilt Jigsaw Puzzles.  In response, we’ve set up an entire collection of quilt puzzles all accessible in our Americana Puzzles Section on the website.

So far our customers have spread most of their attention over the full collection of our quilt puzzles, but there are two puzzles that have peaked as top sellers in the last few weeks. The Jim Shore collection of quilt jigsaw puzzles (4 puzzles with a quilt theme and two others in the full collection) have flown off the shelf (most are currently out of stock). In a close second place to the Jim Shore collection is the Diane Phalen collection of quilt puzzles. Her unique style is rich and playful and comes form the popular puzzle manufacturer White Mountain.

NEW Jim Shore Jigsaw Puzzles

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

We try at Wholesale Puzzles to regularly introduce new jigsaw puzzles to our selection, and find popular artists that our customers love to add to our collections.  In that spirit of freshness, we recently added 6 new Jim Shore Jigsaw Puzzles to our collection of Artist, Quilt, and Americana puzzles.

A Little About Jim Shore

Jim Shore Jigsaw Puzzle

Jim Shore Jigsaw Puzzle: Spring Angel

Jim Shore enjoys a great deal of popularity for his American folk art. Jim was raised with a love for American folk art and it’s traditional images and values. The quilting theme found throughout his jigsaw puzzles stems from his grandmother, who was a master quilter. He began his career with a degree in business and engineering and used it to support his family, using his spare time to sharpen his skills as a sculptor and painter. Jim Shore is now best known for his Heartwood Creek line of decorative accessories and his Disney Traditions collection.

The top selling puzzle out of his collection is the 750 piece ‘Village Quilt’ puzzle that features a quilt pattern with a country village scene in the center.
