The Old Craft Store
Come on to the store and use our classroom. Bring your own rotary cutting stuff. We'll provide space to cut, sew, and press.
Classroom is not available for Sew Day during a scheduled class. Be sure to schedule your Sew Day in person or call to confirm your registration.
The Old Craft Store has been part of downtown Carrollton, TX
since 1971. It was originally opened as a creative space for woodworking, painting, and sewing. Over time, Melba transformed it into a quilt shop filled with beautiful fabrics, notions, and classes for every kind of quilter. When she retired, she passed the store on to me — a single mom with a deep love for quilting and a dream to keep this special place thriving.
I’ve been quilting for over 25 years, ever since I was inspired by my Great Aunt Lily’s hand-stitched quilts on our family farm in Illinois. I fell in love with the tradition and the joy of creating something meaningful with my hands. In 2019, I became the proud owner of The Old Craft Store, and now I get to spend my days surrounded by fabric, creativity, and community. With the help of my amazing team, I’m here to make sure every visitor feels welcome, inspired, and part of our quilting family.
