Greetings Friends, 

We hope this message finds you healthy, safely at home and quilting like mad.

UDPATE: in accordance with the State Mandated "Shelter in Place" policy,
we will remain closed to foot traffic thru Sunday May 3rd.

Buff continues to man the shop Monday-Saturday from 10-3, acting as your personal shopper, filling orders and long arming.  Sonja is home, manning her long arm, worrying about finances, and we are both working feverishly to build out the website .  We deeply appreciate your purchases and we continue to offer curbside pickup as well as shipping. 

If you wish to go shopping from the comfort of home, check out the “Shop Online” tab at our website, www.goldenstatequilting.com.  
Kaffe fabric is almost fully online, from yardage to pre-cuts.  So are Tula and Grunge fabrics along with 1800 Reproduction fabrics and much more. Thank you for your patience as we work out the newbie bugs and flesh out the merchandise.  Please check it out frequently as we are busy trying to tempt you with new things each and every day! 

The Golden State staff has gone into the Construction Business!  Just look at some of the magical houses we’ve been whipping up.  

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
Helen Keller knew about challenges and how to overcome them. With the uncertainty that is now part of our daily lives, we are coming together to draw strength from each other and find comfort in knowing that we are not alone. Across the miles and oceans, we are a community, a village. We are intertwined and our well-being is tied to each other. “Sew”, as a village, we’re going to make a village.
