2025
Happy 2025! 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…you are in for a treat. We’ve gotten an entrance upgrade. Now our shop entry is made up of 2 sliding barn doors. Then during the 2020 lockdown we expanded nearly doubling our size making room for more hard-to-find handwork, expanding our pastel florals, and finding room for our Christmas prints and goodies. Then in September 2024, Tina took over the longarming part of the shoppe, so in order for her to keep up…we did some moving around and brought the longarm home. Then in April 2025, Tina joined mom and i full-time…she helps in the shoppe Monday-Wednesday then she works from home piecing samples and longarming…which has been keeping her very busy!
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!)
