In LOVE with Pinterest

Are you a Pinner? If you're not already on Pinterest, go sign up now! 

Pinterest is basically a digital bulletin board for "pinning" ideas for quilts, sewing projects, crafts and just about anything else you can imagine. It certainly doesn't replace coming into the shop and wondering around aisles of fabrics you can actually see and touch, but it is a great way to collect all kinds of inspiration.

We love that Pinterest melds a time-honored art and craft like quilting with modern technology. For example, you could search "Civil War quilts" and come up with hundreds of stunning photos of quilt patterns, color schemes and techniques. You simply pin those ideas you like best  to a digital board. Then when you come into the shop, you can pull up your Pinterest boards on your mobile device, like your iPad or smartphone. That way you have your ideas right in your hand as you shop for just the right fabrics. It sure beats carrying around magazine clippings that are easily lost or torn.


You can see what we're pinning by heading directly to our Pinterest page! You'll see pins of things we've made (like this quilt below), things we want to make, fabrics we love, and more.
