Our Story

Growing up in a working class family, I watched my mother making clothes for my siblings and neighbors with the sewing machine that she received as a wedding gift back in the 1960s. Although I didn't have many chances to actually sew something with the machine--my mother really didn't want kids to mess around with her working machine, I have seen how my mother created her own patterns with newspaper, paper bags, and then turned fabrics into our beautiful clothes that others admired.
As you would imagine, the sewing seed planted in my childhood certainly sprouted and bloomed when I was able to afford an expensive sewing machine for myself. I devoted much free time to acquire fabrics and make quilts for family and friends. A few years ago, when I looked at my stashes that filled up several bookshelves and closets, I couldn't help wondering when I could turn them into quilts. My husband suggested that we open a shop and shared my fabrics with others. My years' collection of beautiful fabrics obviously met the demands of those who shared the same passion with me, as I found that my inventory was quickly exhausted, and demands from repeating customers motivated us to reinvest and seriously run this shop. Our passion is to acquire the most beautiful, high quality fabrics from various sources we could find to meet the needs of customers like you.
Another passion to share with you is my love for sewing. A few years ago when I visited NASA Space Center in Houston, I was surprised to see a sewing machine in the center. Later I was told that sewing is needed to help protect NASA's missions from the harsh environment of space. Just as you might visit a tailor to get your suit fitted, NASA calls on skilled technicians to custom-make the protective shields necessary for space exploration. This experience reinforced my passion for sewing. I tend to believe that sewing skill is needed for everyone (I am sure not many people agree with me). In my spare time, esp. during Friday nights, sitting beside my Janome Memory Craft 6500P, designing and creating any project for my family and friends is my therapy!
