our fabric focus is pared down to florals and reproductions (civil war and 30’s reproductions)

we love thread (a LOT!)

Gutermann, EdMar, DMC perle cotton & floss, Cosmo threads, Weeks Dye Works, Gentle Arts, Classic Colorworks, Lori Holt Chunky Thread, and NeedlePoint Inc (silk threads)

we love needlework…

cross stitch, Sashiko, Ribbon embroidery, Brazilian embroidery and traditional embroidery, and crochet. we have a growing selection of: cross stitch charts and kits (Blackbird Designs, La D Da, and With Thy Needle to name a few), EdMar books and kits, and Crabapple Hill Designs patterns.

we love EPP (English Paper Piecing).

We have 2 complete Lucy Boston Patchwork of the Crosses, a Double Wedding Ring, Dear Jane, Farmer’s Wife, Brimfield Awakening, Stars in the Garden, and several Grandmother’s Flower Gardens among others on display along with a growing number of shapes, acrylics, and paper packs to get you started on your own project.

Feel free to take a look around…let me know if there is anything i can do to help…don’t forget…Gabby-Goo is usually napping so if you pop in she is sure to say hi and would love a little attention.

we OFFICIALLY opened in our new location (204 w james street, just 3 doors down from our previous location) on March 18th, 2026. the front half of the building was finished off in gray and pink…the back half was cinder block walls and half the ceiling had been “finished” with rusty steel. it was a wild ride, but after nearly 6 months of demoing, remodeling, taping, painting, and finishing off the back half with new steel, chandeliers, and flooring. we are now open.

here are a few pics of the space before and after…

this was the original doorway to our new space. immediately i was like…this breezeway needs to go!
