Sew In This Together
Did you know that the quilt industry is currently a $3 billion a year industry and expected to reach $5 billion by 2026? We are definitely in a phase of growth. But, in this growth, one of the statistics that got me really excited was the preference to purchase locally through independent quilt shop/sewing machine centers!
We think local is the way to go! We do our best to be Community-focused in how we treat our Customers and in the products we carry. As such, one of our goals is to continually discover and celebrate local talent who are contributing to this exciting industry from creating patterns, sewing techniques, and art.
In February, stay tuned to our social media channel for an upcoming interview with Amy Schelle of Sewn Modern Quilt Patterns from Ft. Worth, Texas. She has such a clean design style that is wonderfully modern. You can find her patterns in our shop and we'll have one of her quilt patterns on display at the upcoming Dallas Quilt Show.
Do you know of someone local to the DFW area that is making their way in the quilting industry? Let us know! We want to meet and support our local Makers to help boost their small businesses as you all support us each day.
Happy Sewing,
Stefanie
P.S. You know, the Internet knows everything, and it's always true! Ha, ha! Either way, here is where I sourced those opening stats: https://craftindustryalliance.org/the-size-of-the-quilting-market-quilting-trends-survey-results-2022/

Tips from our Team
From Vicky, quilting teacher and customer service star: The Hera Marker is a small tool with a sharp curved edge that makes amazing crease lines without leaving a mark! Imagine, no ink or chalk to worry about removing from your fabrics. It creates perfect quilting lines for either hand or machine quilting. It also works well for apparel and other sewing projects.
