Opened in November, 2001, the shop has been not only my biggest challenge but my greatest joy. When people say that "...quilters are the nicest people..." they aren't kidding. This shop has brought people into my life that have redefined what a blessing is and what it means to give and to receive. I have been blessed with the kindness of strangers, stories that have made me cry and tales that have made me laugh until my belly ached. And so, even though we've had our share of ups and downs, it's been my privilege to share my love of quilting with my friends and a few strangers.

To those of you that are too far away for a personal visit, you should know that you are and will be as special to me as the quilters that pass through our doors. This little thing we do - quilting - is not just a hobby or a job (in my case) but a shared passion for things that are beautiful, crafted-by-hand and stitched with love.

With the opening of our on-line store I am looking forward to meeting even more of you and sharing our mutual love for quilts! As you shop, keep in mind that we are a full-service retail quilt shop (maybe just not as big on-line) so we might have what you're looking for in-house. I also take all my own pictures for the catalog so if you see something in a photo, chances are we have the kit, pattern or book on-hand. Always feel free to contact me and I'll do my best to help you find what you are looking for.

For those of you who have kept up with me over the years, you will know that the shop first opened in 2001 in Selma, NC; a little Mayberry-like, vintage 1940s style small-town antique district. For almost ten years I had the privilege to meet and greet quilters from all walks of life and all parts of the country as they would find their way to my door. And yet as a small-business, in a small-town it became increasingly more difficult for the shop to thrive and maintain the level of service that our customers had come to expect. And so, in December, 2010 I made the decision to move the shop to Cary, NC. In Cary you will find all that you have come to love about the Whistle Stop and a whole lot more. As I like to say, it won't be "this (ie Selma)" Whistle Stop but it will still be the THE Whistle Stop. I hope you'll come see for yourself!
