The" Hangout" opened in Jan 2005.It was a dream come true for both of us. We spent many years planning and preparing ourselves . After visiting many, many shops and taking mental notes of what we liked and didn't like,the beginnings of our shop were born. Our name "Quilt Lover's Hangout" came to us through a family contest. Gayle's mother Pat was our winner! It was just what we were looking for. After having a name it was time to find the perfect spot. We hunted high and low to come up with just the right place. Once we had a lease, the real work started! Gayle and I worked many along hours with a bit of help from the husbands. We built all the shelves, cutting table, checkout stand, put up a wall etc. We will always have great memories from the very beginning of the making of our shop! We have now been open 5 years and expanded 2 years ago, making the shop from 2500 sq ft to 4500 sq ft. The Shop is a delight to be in everyday. There are so many wonderful people to meet and great projects being shown. Always something new and different happening at the" Hangout"! For almost the 1st year Gayle and Debbie worked the shop by ourselves. Which made for some long days. Not that we didn't love every minute of it. But we have grown so much that we could no longer do it alone. So we have now added several new face. There is Daina, Sandy, Barbara. We feel very blessed that the girls have chosen the "Hangout" to be part of their family. We are sure you will find all the girls very helpful and fun to work with. They always have a smile and a warm hello to all that come into the"Hangout" We can't thank our customers enough for helping make our dream of the perfect shop come true . Please feel free to drop in and say hello bring your latest project to show. Hope to see you all soon Gayle and Debbie |
