Fabrics & Friends Quilt Shop

Fabrics & Friends is now permanently closed. Zach graduated from high school and is going to college. Rita is ready to retire for the fourth time. Laura has a wonderful new position as a regional sales rep for E. E. Schenck and Maywood Studios. We'd like to thank everyone who supported us over the nearly ten years of our shops existence and let you know how much we appreciate your friendship, encouragement, and cheerful presence that made our little shop the unofficial community of like minded people that it was. Great adventures await all of us. Go have yours. Thank you! Rita and Laura.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all -... And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm - I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me. -- Emily Dickinson For a gorgeous new picture book about Emily Dickinson's life and work, we highly recommend "On Wings of Words: The Extraordinary Life of Emily Dickinson" for ages 5 to 9 at https://www.amightygirl.com/on-wings-of-words For a youth-friendly introduction to her poetry, we recommend Poetry for Young People: Emily Dickinson for readers 9 to 13 at https://www.amightygirl.com/poetry-emily-dickinson To inspire children and teens with the true stories of more women writers and poets, visit our "Writer & Poet Biography" section at http://amgrl.co/1mNYGQl For uplifting Mighty Girl stories that emphasize the importance of hope, visit our "Hope & Optimism" book section at http://amgrl.co/1Iz1D1d
