Directions to the shop are at the bottom of this page.
This is the view from the front door. All of our Kaffe Fassett, Brandon Mably, and Phillip Jacobs fabrics are located straight ahead and encourage you take a closer look.
The white cabinet is to the right after you first enter the shop. We're showcasing a wonderful collection of charm squares (5-inch square packs), layer cakes (10-inch square packs), jelly rolls (2 1/2" strip assortments), and fat quarter bundles. We are also able to feature books and patterns that use the various pre-cut fabric packs.
If you look to the left when you enter the front door, you'll see our collection of 1930s prints. Further to the left is our book area. We've moved it to the front of the shop for the first time this year and I really love the natural light coming through the front window into that area. It makes for a relaxing place to browse our books. We're also featuring our Valentine's Day fabric in the book area.
This is another view of our fabulous Kaffe Fassett fabric collection and our pre-cut fabric area. We spent as much time sewing as we did rearranging over the holiday break so there are many new samples displayed around the shop.
The cabinets in the shop are arranged in a way that makes it feel like there are several rooms in the shop. These pictures are a view of the room that houses our batiks, black & whites, all things University of Georgia, and a few smaller collections.
If you look across from the batik area, you'll see the shop's central cutting table. It's the hub of activity for the shop and we love for customers to pull up a chair and stay a while. The quilts hanging behind the cutting table are: Moda's Wiscasset collection made into one of our Breakfast Club patterns (left), a quilt from the book Jelly Roll Inspirations featuring Moda's Blush fabric collection (center), and an Anka's Treasures pattern from the book Stop, Drop, and Roll featuring fabric from Amy Butler's LOVE fabric collection (right).
Our Amy Butler fabric collection has grown so much in the past year that we finally had to give her her own area of the shop. The picture on the right is looking toward the front door from our Amy Butler fabric area.
The last fabric area is across from the Amy Butler area and showcases fabric by color. This is where you will find all the small tone on tone prints and other almost all one color fabric. The table runner shown is a Pieced Tree Tiny Pattern called Fancy Four Patch. We will be kicking off a club in February that features a different Tiny Pattern each month.
The shop also features a classroom that comfortably holds up to twelve people for a hands on class and up to twenty for a lecture or demonstration class. Our classroom is available for your use anytime there is no other scheduled activity. It is a great place to layer your quilts, or to get away from life’s daily distractions so that you can focus on the project you are working on. Please give us a call if you would like to schedule time in our classroom.
