Over three decades ago, when their youngest son was born, Martha made a life changing decision. With six children at home and a desire to be more present in their daily lives, she was determined to find a way to contribute financially without sacrificing time with her family. Her opportunity came unexpectedly. Martha’s parents owned a small fabric shop, and one day her father asked her to watch the store while he attended a golf event. At the time, Martha didn’t sew and had never quilted, but that quiet day in the shop changed everything. What began as a simple favor quickly became the start of a brand new chapter for both Martha and her husband, Doug. That moment led to a journey neither of them could have imagined, one that would shape their future and influence countless others along the way.Do you need help with your quilting business?
