For The Love of Quilting!

November 8th, 2025/ Full letter updated December 25th, 2025

Dear Friends and Fellow Quilters,

After many wonderful years of stitching, creating, and sharing the joy of fabric and quilting with our incredible community, I have made the bittersweet decision to retire and begin a new chapter in my life.

After much reflection (and more than a few tears), I can assure you this decision was not made lightly. For 15 wonderful years, my online shop has been so much more than just a business — it has been a community. Both staff and customers have become part of an extended quilting family, and I will forever treasure the memories we’ve created together. From the first bolt of fabric to the final stitch, you’ve turned this journey into something truly special. Your encouragement, kindness, and loyalty have meant the world to me.

Though the retail portion of Bear Creek will close, my new chapter is still in the quilting industry. I look forward to bringing you exciting new announcements as my transition unfolds.
