We found this great interview with a Fabric Shop owner in Georgia. A quick read for those interested in opening a business, or anyone who has a passion for all things fabric!


Debora Exum first fell in love with fabrics when she was a girl. Her business, Dragonfly Quilt Shop, is a feast for the senses. Stop in for a visit and let your creative mind be inspired!

Patch:  When did you start your business?

Debora: We opened our doors in January, 2007.
