History

Established in 2003.

In 2000, I made an «I spy» quilt for my son that required almost 500 different pieces of fabric. I did a lot of searching to amass the collection and when it was finished, I had both a lovely quilt and a massive amount of leftovers!

Figuring that other people making I Spy quilts would have the same problems I had, I decided to sell packets of my leftover fabric online. The fabric square kits did very well! My sister joined me. Karen took over the shipping end of the business and soon we were able to expand the number of products we carried.

We realized that our hobby had grown into a business! We registered a name, got a tax number and hired someone to do our books — our Dad, a retired accountant. Local quilt shops became interested in our square packets so we started supplying them as well. Each year we continued to dramatically expand our product line until eventually we outgrew our house.

In September 2007, we opened a retail store and have never looked back!
