Cindi Rang, Owner

 Cindi learned to quilt from her grandmother, and didn't know there was such a thing as "batting" until she was 22. She loves quilting, every aspect of it. She enjoys the ability to make a quick quilt in two hours, and the challenge and reverence of a hand pieced quilt that takes three years. Cindi leads most of the clubs. 

Brianna Rang, Co-Owner

 Brianna has been quilting since she was four, and has been teaching classes when she was six.  She has her own pattern line, and her first book coming out this summer.  At the age of 17 Brianna is an equal partner in the shop, running things beside her mother.  A true quilting prodigy, Brianna is a spot of sunshine in the shop.

Thelma Wentworth, Teacher, Machine Quilter

 Thelma has worked in the shop since it opened in 1999. She can hand quilt, machine quilt, knit, crochet, cook and clean. She is a wealth of information and a burst of energy. She does most of the professional long arm quilting and teaches a lot of classes. She loves to demo techniques and will take the time to show you anything you'd like. Thelma and her husband Russ are "snowbirds" , so she is gone from October to March every year. Check out "Dumpster Diving", Thelma's original pattern in our "shopping" section!

Bertys Besel, Teacher, etc.

 Bertys does everything. She is our master crocheter, fast knitter, kit cutter, yarn shop teacher and all around great quilter. She hosts the "Round Table" on Tuesdays (no charge, noon to 4pm, bring knitting, crocheting, patterns, projects, problems and questions. Sit for coffee and conversation.) and teaches most of the classes in the yarn shop. 

Charisma Horton, Fabric Goddess

 Charisma (yes, that's her real name.... and her personality) is one of our newest employees. She loves to help pick out fabric and as a scrapbooker, she puts together most of our story boards in the shop. She works in the quilt shop and refuses to take up knitting or crocheting... we'll see. She makes a lot of bags, and completes about one quilt per week.

Sara Ortega, Administrative Assistant

 Sara is Cindi's do-it-all girl.  She runs errands, takes notes, updates the website, organizes class materials and anything else that needs to be done in the day that Cindi or Brianna do not have time for.  Not a quilter herself but raised by one, Sara is trying her hand at making scarves, and will be taking a few classes to familiarize herself more with the business. At this point, Cindi is happy to have someone one her staff that is not so easily distracted by all things pretty.
