Working in a Quilt Shop = Happiness

Working in a quilt shop is special, you are not only surrounded by beautiful quilts and fabrics but amazing talent.  I've worked in 2 quilt shops and a fabric shop. Each one was staffed by people who loved what they created and who enjoyed helping others create beautiful clothing or quilts.

Recently a customer told me how happy she was to have found The Round Bobbin Quilt Shop and how much the ladies that worked there were like family. She made me smile.

At The Round Bobbin we are like a family, most of us worked at another shop for years. We hung in through the ups and downs of different owners and many stayed there until the bitter end when the shop closed it's doors. A very sad day.

We all love working with fabric and customers. We all have strengths and know who to ask for help when we get stuck. We are quilters, we design, teach classes, sew, embroider, hand and machine quilt. We have stashes and many sewing machines.  We are passionate about our craft and that is why when you come into The Round Bobbin you will find whatever level of help that you need. We are not a chain, we have quality cotton and wool fabrics. We make the quilts that you see hanging in the shop. Pretty cool don't you think?

The shop will be closed for vacation August 4-11 and reopen on Tuesday, August 13 as we are always closed on Monday. While the shop is closed we are still working on samples and ideas to keep your creativity flowing. Our fall class preview is coming up on Saturday, September 14 so please watch for Susan's e-mails and messages on our web page. There is an awesome slate of classes coming up this fall!

Enjoy the rest of your summer and keep creating!
