String & Story
Duluth, Georgia · Ships online too
Founded by modern-quilting educator HollyAnne Knight, offering in-person classes and a full line of Painter's Palette Solids and Aurifil thread.
String & Story was founded by HollyAnne Knight, a name modern quilters will likely recognize as a teacher and designer in her own right, which gives this Duluth shop a different flavor than a general fabric store; it's built by someone who teaches modern quilting for a living, and that shows in the curation.
The shop carries the full line of Painter's Palette Solids, a serious commitment for any solids-focused quilter hunting a specific shade, plus Aurifil thread for anyone particular about what runs through their machine. Original patterns and rulers designed in-house round out the offering, so this isn't just a shop reselling other people's designs, it's also generating its own.
For modern quilters, especially those who work primarily in solids, String & Story is worth seeking out in Duluth both for the fabric and for classes taught by someone with real design credentials behind her.
