Interviewed by Elizabeth Townsend Gard in December 2017
Copper Canyon Quilting was at Quilt Market/Festival. I love their slogan: "from couch to quilting". I'm curious to find out what it means. The shop includes classes, sit and sews, embroidery, and long-arm quilting. Their classes are super reasonable - $20 a class. I'm hoping to chat with Sherri about the business model. I wish I could go sit in on their classes. They sound like a lot of fun!
Here's their opening video of the shop. They just opened it!
