Stashesofstuff

Hello! I am Ava McNeil and I am the designer and owner of Stashes of Stuff.  I have been sewing for my entire life. I started entering items I had made in county fairs at the tender age of eight, and by my early teen years, was winning sewing competitions. Since then, sewing and quilting have always been there for me.
We sell our top quality designer fabric, handmade quilts, patterns, and quilt kits.  With the help of all of my children and grandchildren, we make many of our handmade quilts and quilt kits when ordered so, many of them can have a change of fabric or size. Everything is done "in house" has 5 grown children (all that sew, quilt, and help with the business) left me with many large empty rooms that have been converted into our business. We have a quilting room with a longarm quilter, an embroidery room with several machines, and our fabric room for fabric sales and kit building just to name a few. It is wonderful to do what you LOVE!
We come from a long line of "sewing passionates" and wish to pass that on. So we build some of our quilt kits with the beginner in mine and try to make the patterns easy to follow.
My passion began with my grandmother. During the Great Depression, my grandmother supported her family by making wedding dresses from her own patterns and trading the dresses for some of their basic needs. She could sew, make or do absolutely anything. I looked up to her immensely and learned so much from her. My mother also had a sewing business and a drapery business, which gave me a job opportunity for years that I loved.
On top of my sewing passion, I have had many different professions in my life. But, I always return to my love of sewing. My interests in this area are as varied as my life. I believe that I own – and use - every sew and quilting gadget is known to woman or man. My fabric stash knows no bounds! My business is based around many specialties. I am ready to put my expertise to use for you.
Thanks so much for your continued support of our handmade business!
