Why is the shop open on Sunday?
I have been asked this question many times during the years we have owned the shop and chose to open Sundays and at least one evening a week. I know the questions comes out of concern that I would get no family time if I am open 7 days a week Are we busy? not always. Is it worth it? Absolutely! There are many reasons we are open on Sundays, even if it is only four hours. It is the same reason we are open on Thursdays till 7pm. To better serve our customers! We are a full service quilt and cross stitch shop! We are doing it all, from selling supplies, machines, offering repair and maintenance service and quilting and binding services. There are a surprisingly large number of customers that can't get to the shop during week days because we close at 5pm. Some can't always make it in to the shop on a Saturday due to family responsibilities, kids sports or activities that often take up most of Saturday. These are the customers that we see in the extended hours. One lady we see almost every Sunday with very few exceptions. It is her ME time. She sometimes comes in looking for something specific, sometimes for the inspiration, and yes, sometimes out of habit. There is always something that can be done at the shop, from putting away inventory, to prepping kits, we often had classes this fall, and now, we even have sew days! We are blessed with a team that makes it possible to have extend hours. In the summer we get many vacationers that are only passing thru on the weekend and have told us that we were the only spot that they were able to visit that was open. In the winter we have lots of customers that are in town for sports tournaments or other events that said they made sure to be able to squeeze in as many places as possible and loved that we were open on Sunday and would get to spend lots of time checking things out and not worrying they would miss another shop! I love helping people create, encouraging people to become or continue to be creative, and making our shop accessible during hours that other craft shops are close is a great way to do that. Now don't get me wrong, in the end i am a small business owner, we don't mind helping you purchase things while you are here ! ;)

My lines or yours ?
I used to cut fabric using the lines on my mat and told myself it worked just fine. My seams looked right… but my points didn’t match and pieces were sometimes a hair short. Obviously, I ignored that for a while. Because stubborn. Turns out that tiny difference—cutting on different sides of the mat lines—was causing big accuracy issues. Who knew? The fix wasn’t a new ruler or a fancy mat. It was switching to the lines on my ruler and committing to consistency. Straighter cuts, better alignment, and way fewer “why doesn’t this fit?!” moments. Sometimes the biggest quilting breakthroughs come from changing how you use your tools—not buying new ones.

I piece my quilt with polyester thread and I am not afraid to say it !
For years I was told you shouldn’t piece quilts with polyester thread.But when I asked why, the answers never really held up. Traditionally, quilters matched fibers—cotton fabric meant cotton thread. That made sense years ago when polyester thread was stiff, yellowed over time, melted under hot irons, and cotton fabric shrank a lot more. Back then, polyester really could damage cotton. But things have changed.
