Where Top 7 @ 7 started.
As we approach our 5th year TOP 7@7 Anniversary ( March 2), it makes me reflect on where it started! After surviving 2020, we needed to find ways to be "busy" when traffic at the store was slow due to weather. We decided to try a live Facebook video and offer crazy sale prices on fabrics and notions . Snow Day sales were such a success, Jenn suggested maybe we could do one evening a week, we would log on at a certain time and do the same as a Snow Day sale ! The idea developed from there. I remember being a teenager and listening to the top 10 on the radio, I thought, 7pm was after supper time and we could make sure to get the biggest audience possible. Then next thing you know, we developed Top 7@7, got a logo and a weekly show. It may have changed over the years, from a better tripod to hold the phone (no more dropping it in the garbage while live....), a new process for customers to order the SALE items, and using our Facebook live to talk about our upcoming events, create buzz for new classes coming up, or raising funds for great causes ! I still get super nervous before hitting the go button, and I have found ways to deal with days were things don't quite line up for a live show. We have done lives while on the road, pre-recorded....and that ONE TIME...I forgot, only to be reminded by Pat Jan 1, 2024, that I had missed the show and sale all together ! I usually forget half the things I wanted to say till AFTER I log off, I have laugh so hard I cried, cried and could barely speak. The best part of Top 7 is the message I receive from customers who tell me they love to watch, the visitors to the store who want a quick picture or advice, and best of all, seeing that after 5 years, we still have a growing audience ! Thank you ! For helping us make memories, one stitch at a time! Vickie

Who gets to be a quilter?
You only need to make one quilt to be a quilter. That’s it. Quilting starts with wanting to learn - not owning all the tools or making a perfect project. Every quilter has questioned their life choices late at night with a seam ripper in hand… and kept going anyway. Quilting isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about doing it, learning from it, and starting the next one just a little wiser (and usually with more fabric).

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 ! ;)
