My name is Joyce Lucas. I am the founder of Quilt ‘n’ Stitch Marketplace.

In 2003, as I was struggling to get my own business up and running on the Web, I realized that networking with other women in business was not only fun and inspiring, it was crucial to my success as a woman in business. With that in mind,  I set out to design and create an environment for like-minded women to come together in their business journey. (read more at Make Mine Pink).
 
This year celebrates our seventh year in business at Make Mine Pink, and with that, came the realization that an online shopping and networking site as successful as Make Mine Pink should be available to other markets. Our track record for helping hundreds of women get started in or maintain their business on the Web is one of the reasons that I decided to open this model up to the quilting and stitching market. The other reason is my love of sewing and my desire to learn to quilt. I have a beautiful sewing studio just waiting to be broken in. I’m an avid collector of fabrics and love new vintage and vintage-inspired fabrics. I can’t imagine a better way to shop than at an all-in-one marketplace, all under one virtual roof. My hope is to bring quilt shops and pattern designers, quilters and suppliers, stitchers, and artists of fiber arts together — all for their common love of their craft.

Quilt ‘n’ Stitch Marketplace is a place to set up shop to showcase and sell your products, a place to come and find that perfect pattern or piece of fabric, or perhaps sell that beautiful set of embroidered pillowcases you’ve worked so meticulously on. As well as a marketplace to sell and purchase products, QNS will be a place for businesses to kick start their business in ways that just wouldn’t be possible on their own.
 
Our goal is to be the premier Quilting and needlework community on the Web — offering quality products and superior customer service.  We are committed to making your shopping experience more like the small-town shopping experience we all remember as a child.


Each shoppe on the Quilt ‘n’ Stitch Marketplace is individually owned and operated. Please feel free to forward your comments and suggestions to info@quiltandstitchmarketplace.com or contact each individual shoppe through their contact info or website. All transactions will be handled by each respective shoppe.

*Each shop will be juried for content before being approved for inclusion in QNS.

Warmest Regards,
Joyce Lucas, Founder
