Opening a quilt shop is a dream of many quilters. As a matter of fact, I seriously considered it at a time when my professional life was at a fork in the road.

Though their backstories differ, they all built thriving businesses that…

SHOP OWNERS Laura and Amy Turner ESTABLISHED 2017 SIZE 1,600+ square feet MORE INFO? boxcarquilts.com Children have a way of getting their parents to grant their hearts’ desires, and Laura Turner, owner of Box Car Quilts in Cross Roads, Texas, a community of 1,400 about 45 minutes from Dallas, is no exception. When she acquired three Singer Featherweight machines shortly after opening the store, she fell in love with them. “I quickly realized they had a loyal following,” she says. “I told my dad we should carry them.” His answer? “No.” Laura then tried to convince him that he should service Featherweights but he again said no.

Shop owners Karen and Kevin O’Connor know a treasure when they see it. Sixteen years ago, while buying fixtures for their soon-to-be quilt shop, the former owners of a crafts and antique mall spotted the ultimate quilter’s find in a trash bin—three antique quilts. “Someone had thrown them out,” Kevin says. “They were great finds, and they’re still on display at our shop.” The couple’s discerning eye also helped them spot the perfect location for Red Rooster Quilts in Dublin, Ohio, a northern suburb of Columbus, after a three-year search. They’d driven by the charming brick building crowned by a cupola several times, but it wasn’t for sale. Undaunted, Kevin located the owner who, as luck would have it, was willing to sell. While the exterior looked like the perfect…

Marie, then the owner of a long-arm quilting and home decor business, was ready to make a change. Both were avid quilters who were eager to share that passion with other people. “We wanted not only to provide a great place for others to get inspiration and make quilts and other projects but also to teach and help promote the joy of quilting…

The shop, which has enjoyed continuous growth under Katie’s leadership,…
