Virginia Beach, Virginia · Ships online too · Since 2005
A female-owned Virginia Beach shop that's grown from 1,500 to 3,000+ bolts since opening in 2005.
Sarah's Thimble Quilt Shoppe opened in Virginia Beach in 2005 with about 1,500 bolts of fabric, and it's roughly doubled that since — more than 3,000 bolts now, which is a nice, concrete way of seeing a female-owned small business actually grow over two decades rather than just survive.
The fabric selection centers on 100% cotton quilting fabric along with wool, a slightly less common offering that's worth knowing about if you like working wool into your quilts or other projects. Long-arm quilting services are available for finishing tops, and classes are part of the shop's regular rhythm for quilters at any skill level.
Watching a shop double its inventory over the years the way Sarah's Thimble has is a good sign of a business that's been doing right by its customers long enough for them to keep coming back and telling their friends.
If you're in Virginia Beach, Sarah's Thimble is worth a visit both for the fabric and for the two decades of steady growth behind it.
