Leaving a legacy...
My grandmother taught me to sew on her vintage Singer sewing machine when I was a girl and I can't wait to teach my own daughter how to sew. She already has the fabric obsession bug. :) I guess that's what happens when your mom has a fabric shop.
What I really love about fabric is how it inspires you to create something beautiful for someone you love that can be passed down for generations. I have quilts that my great-grandmother made and I remember my grandmother telling me about the fabric in the quilts. Some of the pieces were from her dresses when she was a girl or from her father's shirts. You could see all the memories come flooding back to her when she would talk about the quilts.
I opened my shop a few years ago because I truly love fabric and I wasn't sure where it would all lead. It has grown larger than I ever dreamed it would and has allowed me to leave my full time job to work out of my home. I love working with my customers and putting together new fabric bundles.
