2026
Happy 2026! We’ve been staying so busy in the shop we just don’t know where we’d find the time to do any quilt shows.
If you have visited us at quilt shows…be sure to follow us on instagram, facebook, and subscribe to the blog for all the latest!
We are always up for visitors…if you are thinking of a road trip or are retreating locally, we would LOVE to see you! Our new location, 204 w james, is a bustling place. We are moved in and new inventory will start arriving on Monday, March 23rd! The move was fast, so we are still doing some sorting and faffing, but the fabric is out and the quilts are hung, and the displays are lovely.
Gabby, our greeter and head customer service representative is at the shop everyday.

…or order online…i’ll drop it off at the post office and you don’t even have to leave the house! (SCORE!)
