win a $20 gift certificate to Fat Quarter Shop!

The Fat Quarter Shop was founded in 2003 by Kimberly Jolly. An avid quilter, Kimberly began her shop as a side business while still working a corporate position, cutting, packing and shipping right out of her house during evenings and weekends. From the very beginning, she was committed to delivering top-notch service for every single order and customer. As the Fat Quarter Shop's reputation grew, Kimberly decided to make it a full-time operation. Her husband Kevin joined her not long after, and with his help, lots of hard work, and a tireless commitment, the store began to grow. The Fat Quarter Shop continues to branch out with the best fabrics, exclusive kits, quilt clubs, BOMs, and more.... and they will always be driven by the passion that Kimberly founded the store upon, which is always giving you the best products and service!

But as I started my own family and built a home, I discovered that I loved it… Now, it is the main feature of my day. On my blog, I share all that I make and the daily trials of being a busy stay-at-home mom that never gets to stay home."
