I was appreciative of the willingness to get me connected with a quilter and also their promptness in doing so.

But I have now been here a few times. The owner, Sharon, is great to work with and always takes time to answer my questions or make helpful suggestions. I am fairly new to quilting, but I'm hooked! Sharon also long-arm quilted a large, king-sized quilt for me, and it turned out great for a wedding gift. I would not have been able to quilt it myself on my home machine, and she finished it within a few weeks for me. Every time I have visited, here are some new, great quality fabrics. For me, this is over a 30-40 minute drive from home, but it is worth it for the quality materials, notions, and help I can get from Sharon. If you like to sew or craft, this is definitely a wonderful store to visit.

They have excellent variety of fabrics. If you are looking for seasonal patterns, their collections during Christmas and thanksgiving are impressively diverse.

Also, they sell yarns, quilting tools, projects ideas, and many quilting inspiration products. The staff is always helpful when I'm looking for certain types of fabrics.
