Support Your Independently-Owned Quilt Shop

Observed each year on the 4th Saturday in January is Local Quilt Shop Day, celebrating independent business owners across the country. In support of locally owned and operated quilt stores, I've created several graphics and images which are free to use to honor the people and places who keep this industry alive and thriving.

Eleven Years of Go Independent, Shop Small (Anywhere, USA)

Today marks 11 years since I had the brilliant and yet foolish idea to believe I could change things (ha ha 😄). Lots of potential, I thought to myself, for what could happen with a mind that runs overtime, a heart that loves independent businesses fiercely, and a person who knows that the pieces of life which made our world a better place are about the change forever. The economy has shifted; people have changed; and for many of us, the focus is no longer on community connections, running into neighbors in local stores, or knowing people who give a hoot about you. But while technology and social media and consumerism have marched on, some things will always stay the same; humans need fellow humans in their lives. We need, although we are hell-bent on denying it, real conversations and interactions to be balanced, complete and less selfish and self-centered....but caught up in the shiny, sparkly world of one-click this and buy now-pay-later options which feed greed, we've forgotten what matters more.
