OUR STORY
Welcome to the world of Quilted Glo!!
My interest in quilting resulted from watching my grandmother and mother create quilts. My mother taught my sister and me to sew at a relatively young age.
She also tried to teach us to crochet but let’s just say that it was not a successful endeavor for me! Sewing intrigued me and I soon became a 3rd generation quilter. I started out piecing the quilts and tying them with yarn like my grandmother.
It was difficult to find quilt shops that carried wide backings, and those that did had a few basic tone on tone ones. This is where the idea of creating Quilted Glo originated. Quilted Glo began in 2007. I am an e-commerce company but also vend at quilt shows to sell my products.
I carry a large variety of quilt shop quality wide backings from companies such as Moda, Timeless Treasures, Blank, Northcott, and Wilmington Fabrics.
As I built my business, I expanded into carrying items such as baby panels, pre-cuts, and specialty items. My husband creates some of the tools and finished products that we sell such as turned pens and seam rippers. These seam rippers have 2 ends which can hold either a large and small seam ripper or you can use one end for a stiletto.
I continued tying my quilts until I made a king size bargello quilt and decided that after all that work, I was going to pay to have it quilted. This initiated the desire to own a long arm to expand my quilting skills - a dream I fulfilled thereafter.
I have found machine quilting to be very relaxing, and at the same time, I was able to expand my creativity. So take a spin through my website to see what items may be there that trigger your creativity for either a quilt you are currently making or one you are dreaming of!
