In 2009, Stitches N’ Giggles was born as an online fabric store that sells designer fabric worldwide from Michael Miller and Moda at very reasonable prices. Also available are numerous lines of patterns .  Stitches N’ Giggles prides itself on customer service, as I myself have experienced.  Visit Stitches N’ Giggles online fabric store and see for yourself.

Eleanor Burns wrote her first pattern in 1978 and the rest is history. At Quilt in a Day, you will find quilt patterns, notions, rulers, fabrics and books.  There is a wonderful online community and monthly quilt block competitions for all. Quilt in a Day also has over 200 quilting videos available for free.  I can personally vouch for the quality of the patterns and books, as the first pattern I ever followed for a quilt was the Quilt in a Day Log Cabin Pattern – Eleanor’s first pattern.

Vicki and her mother started Quilting Lodge in 2009 because of their love of fabric and all things quilting. They carry many of your favorite brands such as Moda, Riley Blake, Free Spirit and more.  Customer Service their number one priority and do whatever it takes to help their customers.  They also pride ourselves in shipping orders within 24 hours while keeping shipping costs low.  They are also incredibly talented pattern designers and hope to begin carrying their own line of patterns very soon.   They also have a blog where they love to share tutorials, product reviews, and personal projects.
