Who Am I:
Now, let me introduce myself – I'm Jessica, the heart and soul behind this fiber arts haven. My love affair with quilting began in my childhood, surrounded by a family of skilled crafters. While I initially shied away from the meticulous detail and attention needed for sewing and quilting, life came full circle when I discovered the profound joy of handmade gifts for my own children.
Once my own children were born, the most treasured gifts I always received for my babies were the handmade ones; quilts, knitted and crocheted blankets and handmade clothing. All of the women in my family had a skill in the fiber arts whether it be crocheting sewing, or embroidery but sadly I did not. Yet those items are the ones I cherish the most to this day. I also feel a great connection to those who spend their time on this wonderful creation thinking of me and my family.
Soon we all found ourselves in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic. I was given the gift of time. I purchased my first sewing machine and set out to learn the craft…. yet I had to do it all remotely with the help of social media and FaceTime, I came along quite nicely and began to fall in love with it. Choosing fabric, creating, and the focus it takes to be precise helps with my self care to destress from my 9-5.
This brings us to today, I have an amazingly supportive husband who encouraged me to peruse my passions. You may see Chris in the store, troubleshooting a machine or chatting about your next project! It is our goal together to bring the joy of Fiber Arts to all generations through our online store and our own brick and mortar shop.
More Than a Quilt Shop—A Community
One of the biggest reasons we opened North Shore Quilting was to create a welcoming, supportive community. Quilting isn’t just about fabric and stitches; it’s about the friendships we make along the way. Whether it’s through our classes, clubs, or events, we love seeing people connect over their shared love of sewing.
From our In the Hoop Club to our Quilts of Valor charity work, it’s been incredible to watch this community grow. Seeing customers walk in as strangers and leave as friends (sometimes with a new quilt project in hand!) is one of the most rewarding parts of running this shop.
Looking Ahead
Opening North Shore Quilting has been a dream come true, and we are "sew" grateful for everyone who has walked through our doors, taken a class, or trusted us with their machines. As we continue to grow, we look forward to bringing in more exciting fabrics, offering new classes, and expanding the ways we can serve our incredible quilting community.
If you haven’t visited us yet, we invite you to stop by, take a class, or just chat about your latest project. North Shore Quilting is more than just a shop—it’s a home for creativity, and we can’t wait to see what we create together!
We are open from Tuesday to Saturday – come, explore, and let the joy of fiber arts inspire your creative spirit!
Happy Creating!
Jessica & Chris
The most treasured gift is one made by the hands...cherished forever!
