In a new age where you can buy anything with a couple clicks - remember the importance of shopping local.

In this day and age with everyone and everything is online, it is very easy to forget the value of being together. This past weekend - we enjoyed our two day sew in at our shop and I realized that we have one thing that Google doesn't - the people and the community! As much as I love online shopping and its conveniences - nothing beats the years of experience quite like these ladies have! Google isn't going to sit through my "why doesn't this match up and what am I doing wrong here" moment like those patient ladies who frequent my shop can. It is a truly amazing gift that they share freely. I watched as they assisted and lifted each other up and knew nothing could beat the friendships and the support and affection that exist in this quilt shop. If you haven't been into our local quilt shop - I invite you to come in and make friends with our employees and customers there - you never know how many problems that you can solve with the help of a fellow quilter or crafter! Happy Sewing all!
