Their main goal has always been to offer quality products, which is obvious in the carefully chosen cottons, notions, patterns, etc., but also to bring in supplies that are different from what you would normally see in a fabric store. When you visit the store, Barbara's influence can be seen in the selection of products offered, she has a keen sense about what people want and from her inspiration the very knowledgeable and friendly staff create a wide variety of kits and projects. Linda's passions are represented in the more specialized areas such as the Asian fabrics, the beautiful Japanese quilts displayed, Sashiko supplies, as well as the array of Foundation Piecing patterns and Locker Hooking supplies.
