Gathering Friends~Tradition with a Twist!

Deb and Kathy, sisters-in-law first....shop owners second, started Gathering Friends Quilt Shop in 1998. They started with a turn of the century bank building, gave it an extreme makeover and haven't looked back. They designed on a small scale since opening, but when their Moda rep asked them to design quilts around her fabric line and write a book, they jumped in feet first. In 2004, they bought the 2 neighboring buildings and expanded. Their shop is right at the only stoplight in a quaint little town of 1100. It now houses not only their quilt shop, but also a gallery with ample space to show off all their original designs. To date they've written 24 books and show no signs of slowing down. 20 of the books are in print at the present time. They love to play with color, texture and traditional, rolling them all into one. They're having a blast playing with their passion...fabric! See more on the website www.GatheringFriendsQuiltShop.com
