You will also find a wide selection of art supplies, and vintage finds. In 2024 we were thrilled to be recognized as the Local Quilt Shop Winner for Virginia by the Local Quilt Shop Contest!

Our Alexandria shop is also home to the monthly meetings of Judy’s Altered Minds (JAMs), an altered art group open to all who are interested.
