Local quilt shop day proclaimed for Jan. 23

In recognition of the importance of independent quilt shops to local economics, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis has proclaimed Saturday, Jan. 23, as Local Quilt Shop Day.

Colorado is home to 72 quilt shops in 59 cities across the state, and Holyoke is fortunate to claim one of those shops.

Local quilt shops not only provide supplies for quilting but also provide a spirit of togetherness and creativity that champion an American artform encompassing the rich character and even the history of communities.

Local Quilt Shop Day was established by The Fabric Shop Network, a trade association that represents over 5,000 local quilt shop owners globally.

Creative Traditions, located at 115 S. Interocean Ave. in Holyoke, provides numerous opportunities for togetherness — some monthly, others weekly.
