Quilt Sandwich Fabrics is an Etsy-based shop quickly approaching its one-year anniversary. It’s owned and operated by Seattle-area sisters Kris and Becca — they also have another sister into sewing and quilting. (Imagine having not one but two stash enablers in your family!) Quilt Sandwich carries the usual Westminster, FreeSpirit, and Moda suspects, sure, but [...]

With so much competition between fabric shops these days, it’s hard to stand out. Stitch Simple does it with a completely unique spin on the fabric shop concept: owner Jen Madsen offers prewashed, and (if you want) precut fabric and custom quilt kits (including the new Quilt Kit du Jour, which just launched yesterday). That’s [...]

Well it’s just turning out to be an Austin-themed day. I live ridiculously close to the Fat Quarter Shop‘s world HQ and have always been an fan of their well-designed online shop, though I’ve never met owner Kimberly Jolly face-to-face. And I probably won’t get to for a while, either, since she just gave birth [...]

Several factors set Karma Kraft apart from the competition: the variety of base cloths (various weights and [...]

Today, as part of the Meet the Sponsors series, allow me to introduce the lovely Jody Rowan, owner of the Fabric Shoppe on Etsy.

In addition to (hopefully!) giving an extra boost to the people who help make this website possible, I’m excited to get to know everyone better. Be on the lookout for giveaways and discounts too!
