Our store is located in beautiful Lake Charles in the south west corner of Louisiana. We have a friendly and helpful staff and we all love "talking" quilt talk and seeing Show & Tells. If you are traveling through we are just off the 210 Loop and would love for you to stop by. Also, check out our many kits when in the store---many are pre-cut!
----selected fabrics are 40% off bolt price, minimum cuts of 1 yard and selected books 25% off along with many patterns at 30% off.

you are reading about in the current Quilting Magazines. We have set
aside one day a month to get together and sew for this cause. Please

stitch and 25 done! If you can spare a little fabric,( 3/4 yard for
body, 1/4 yard for cuff and 2" for a contrast band), and a little time
in exchange for fun and learning the "Burrito" case. All pillow cases
will be donated locally. if you have somewhere you think these cases
would cheer up an individual, let us know.
