From the owner: Our shop is a family business. Joan taught daughter Julia to stitch when she was little. When Julia…read morewent off to college, she joined the Embroider's Guild of America and expanded her stitching knowledge. When Julia moved back to her home town, she shared her knowledge and convinced Joan to join as well. Cindy is a newer addition to the family, as daughter/sister-in-law and was introduced to the Guild. Julia's daughter, Miranda joined the family business after she finished college adding a third generation to the business. No, the family involvement doesn't stop there. Joan's husband Steve joined the staff after he retired. Her grandsons, Shawn and Tyler also assist during their summer and holiday school breaks. Joan's son, Anthony, provides some assistance with the "behind-the-scene" work. It is truly a family business.

Since 1993 I have purchased (and still have) three Husqvarnas from this multi-generational business, the appeal being that they are of Swiss design known for quality, durability, and innovation. The store owner is typically on-site and runs her business with top-down grace. Always someone knowledgable to assist with questions about sewing machines & the latest features, long-arms, high-quality fabrics & notions, specialty threads and projects. Classes are personalized to attendees' level(s) of knowledge for making quilts, totes/bags/pouches, and an array of items for decor or function and gift-gifting, or simply learning new techniques. I look forward to attending more classes to further my sewing skills and help me better utilize the capabilities of my sewing machines. The selection of patterns and books is extensive. Extraordinary samples of created projects are displayed throughout the store.

Classroom facilities are located on the second floor, allowing the ground floor to be dedicated to their showroom. I seek out quilt stores for my wife any time we make a road trip and this store was the first of five, on a recent trip to southern Minnesota. (We live near Columbia, MO.) To the best of my knowledge, the wife found their prices to be competitive and we left with an armful of "stuff." If we pass through Cedar Rapids again, I have no doubt that "Inspired to Sew" will be on our itinerary.

Barnyard is a small shop (Run by Gary Port and his wife Dixie) which produces great results with…read moreshort turnaround times and best of all, great prices for short runs (10-25 shirts). I own dozens of shirts made there, most for my fraternity at Cornell College but the student government and many other student organizations (as well as the college itself) use Barnyard for their screen printing needs. Barnyard doesn't charge large setup fees and is really willing to help fix any problems that come up. When my fraternity sent a shirt to them to be made, and we messed up the colors we wanted printed on it, Gary made replacements in the right color in just two days even though it wasn't his fault! If you're in the area or even as far away as Iowa City and Cedar Rapids, I can tell you that you'll not find better prices or better service anywhere, and their remainder shirts (the ones they test print on that have dozens of random images and logos on them) are really cheap and always eye catching! Add to all this their large collection of Hog themed shirts and apparel (you did know that Iowa is the US hog production capital, didn't you?) and Barnyard could easily become your one-stop-shop for happiness.
