Kathy's Fabric Trunk

Kathy's Fabric Trunk is a small-town shop in Del Norte, tucked into the San Luis Valley, and it covers the essentials a rural quilting community actually needs: fabric, a Baby Lock machine dealership, longarm rental for finishing your own tops, and classes to keep new quilters coming up.

The longarm rental in particular is worth noting — not every small shop lets you rent time on the machine yourself rather than sending work out, and that option matters a lot to quilters who want to do their own finishing but don't own the equipment.

It's the kind of shop that exists because a small valley town needed one, and it's built itself around what that community actually uses rather than trying to be something bigger. If you're in the San Luis Valley, it's a straightforward, worthwhile stop, and one that's stayed useful precisely by staying modest.
