good morning! i have been trying to find a few minutes to pull together a quick blog post about our anniversary celebration…but it has been so exciting seeing everyone and so much reminiscing and disbelief that it has already been 20 years…like 2 decades…just wow!
June 4th, 2024 was our *actual* anniversary…however, we decided that such an occasion should be celebrated. (this picture of the tea and cake table is the only picture i took).
I would like to THANK YOU! It has been a wild ride…but we’ve enjoyed every minute!
I can still remember our first sale of 1 yard of pastel footprint baby flannel all those years ago…and then 20 years of watching Sweetwater blossom into a cozy little respite from the crazy, crazy world…a safe haven…a quilter’s candy store. It truly took on a life of its own…and it has been incredible!
THANK YOU again for sticking around…we truly wouldn’t be here without you!

since we are all about fabric…i’ll leave you with our newest bundle…Sugar…featuring 12 fat 8ths of low volume…you can find the details here.
A quick overview of the last 20 years…Gabby, 2 locations, 1 expansion, literally 1000s of fabrics, 1 marriage, 3 grandchildren/niblings, 1 farm accident, vendoring at quilt shows in 6 states, retreats, buses, voted a Top 10 Shop, published in Quilts & More and the American Patchwork and Quilting Calendar, winning Best New Exhibitor at International Quilt Market, Winning best Quilt Minnesota Display, so many quilts, cutting, folding and tying lots and lots of bundles and kits and fat quarters, and all the strangers that have become friends.
so excited to see what the next 20 years bring…
happy stitching and from the bottom of our hearts…
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
