We value craftsmanship, creativity, and connection, and the local craft store.
We love online stores too — they’re fast, convenient, and have opened up craft supplies to people everywhere. But we also know a lot of small business owners, and we’ve seen firsthand what a brick-and-mortar craft shop offers that an online store simply can’t: the chance to feel the fibers, compare colors in person, ask a real question and get a real answer, and learn from shop owners who have spent years — sometimes decades — mastering their craft. These are the places that host stitch nights, quilting circles, and workshops where hobbies turn into friendships and strangers become community.
Our Mission
We connect makers, collectors, and curious shoppers with needlepoint, cross-stitch, yarn, fiber, quilting, and antique shops around the country. We believe small, independent stores deserve to be easy to find and well supported — so we’ve built a reliable, thoughtfully organized directory that helps customers discover local treasures and helps small businesses thrive.
When you shop local, you’re doing more than buying supplies — you’re investing in creativity, tradition, and the heart of your community.
More Than a Directory
Our support for local craft businesses doesn’t stop at the listing page. We also publish articles to help shop owners optimize their online presence — practical guidance on things like getting found on Google, making the most of social media, and presenting their shop well to customers who are searching online before they ever walk through the door.
And for businesses that serve this community — whether that’s a craft shop, a fiber mill, a pattern designer, or a related maker business — we offer a place to advertise directly to a curated audience of engaged crafters, quilters, and collectors who are already looking for exactly what you make and sell.
Where This Started
This directory grew from a simple love of handmade arts and the special places that support them. From cozy cross-stitching and needlepoint shops to vibrant quilting and fabric shops, these businesses keep traditions alive and spark new ideas every day.
We’re dedicated to keeping our listings accurate and up to date. If you know of a shop we’ve missed, please reach out using the link at the bottom of the page — we’d love your help growing this community.
