Quilting Mayhem Turns 10!

From Mindy: Wow, 10 years of Quilting Mayhem! I'm overwhelmed as I look back on how far we've come since opening our doors May 1, 2015.

When we first opened on 1st Street, we were a cozy 3,000-square-foot shop with a modest fabric selection, one classroom, and a longarm rental station. Fast forward to today, and oh, how things have changed! Through challenges (yes, that global event), we kept stitching

A Word from Your Local Craft and Sewing Shop

The crafting world has felt a seismic shift over the past year, especially with the closure of JoAnn Fabric stores across the country. For many of us, JoAnn’s was a go-to destination for fabric, notions, and inspiration. Its absence has left a void, but it’s also reminded us of the importance of independent fabric stores like Quilting Mayhem. While we may not be a big-box retailer, we’re committed to stepping up and expanding our offerings to support our crafting, quilting, and fiber communities—not just in Snohomish, but across the country.     Expanding for our crafting community For almost

Quilting Mayhem’s Birthday Month

We’re feeling a bit nostalgic. May is Quilting Mayhem’s birthday month, and we’ve changed so much in the last eight years. Looking back to the beginning of everything, which seems so long ago, we opened our doors on 1st Street with 3,000 square feet of shop on May 1st, 2015.
