We officially launched about a little more than a month ago, and it’s been exciting to watch the directory grow. Quilt shops, longarmers, teachers, guilds, retreat centers, pattern designers, and more are claiming their spots and adding events. This is exactly what we set out to build: a simple, central place where quilters can find the people, places, and experiences that make this craft so special.
What we're working on...
Even though we've been live for a short time, we're already working on more updates to make Quilting.com the BEST source for all things quilting!
Do you have some ideas!?
If you have any suggestions on things, people, businesses we can add/change, we'd love to know! You can reply directly to this email or send them to us on our Contact Page HERE.
