the news is out...

...drumroll please

we have been waiting for months to share this news...

finally the public announcement just happened at the American Patchwork & Quilting booth at Quilt Market in Portland, Oregon...

JEllen's house of fabric and Sarah's Sewcial Lounge has been selected...

as one of the...

 Fall 2013 Quilt Sampler Shops!!!

we had hoped to be there in person today, but the next best thing is to be standing in a window full of beautiful quilts made by loving creative souls in fabric designed by our dear friend Kate Spain.

THANK YOU to everyone for helping us make our fantasy come true. It is only because of our wonderful customers that our story continues to be shared.

"A Gathering Place for Creative Souls"

Sarah and I were all smiles as we opened the May issue of the American Quilt Retailer magazine to find us featured in the business profile.

 

 

 

 

 

A sincere thank you to freelance writer Ann Logue for capturing our story so perfectly and to Publisher Ranelle King and Editor Susan Fuquay for giving us this opportunity. It is an honor to be selected in our industry, but the real thrill is for all the families who have a person with Down syndrome living with them. For as Ann so beautifully wrote, "...we are spreading the joy of quilting and the capabilities of young adults with Down syndrome."
