Dreamcatchers Story (so far)- by Dee

Dreamcatchers started off as a bunch discussions while moving myself and my fiance cross-country back to Michigan from Washington state. And a portion of how these conversations started was due to the packing and moving my fabric stash which had been significantly augmented by inheriting a “small” portion of my grandmother’s stash when she passed. Dorthy, my father’s mother, was a quilter, a community member of her social circles, and a good-hearted woman, who also was part of the inspiration of our decisions to choose quilting as our jump point into our dream.

Thus we ‘dreamed’ as the miles rolled away about what it was we could do together as a mother/daughter team. We both had always wanted to attempt our own business and also wanted to utalize our creativity and to be a service to our various communities. We knew we had a lot to offer as far as experience in sewing, management, office procedures, people skills, etc. Sure, neither of us knew how to “run a business.” But we were not interested in traditional business models either. We wanted to be something else, something real, something that we wanted to experience when we go out into the world as consumers. I think everyone one wants this and we wanted to be that kind of place.

Sewing has always held a special place in our hearts. It has different meanings to both of us at any given time. Yet out of all our varied creative, crafty, arty endeavors we consistently return to sewing as our one tried and true love. Clothing, quilting, fabric crafts, it all comes from sewing, using our hands, focusing on the creative aspects that make each piece our own creation despite sometimes using a commercial pattern or being inspired by something on the net. Why does any this matter?

Because it means that we understand. We understand the hard work, blood, sweat, tears, cursing, pet hair, significant other issues... (the list goes on) that happens for each quilter. We understand each ripped seam, each bobbin fail, each un-threading needle and we can commiserate. And we also understand the triumphs, the moments of satisfaction, the feeling of great accomplishment when a project becomes a finished piece. We are humbled by others appreciation of our hard work. And we are pleased to serve those who appreciate us for our services.
