Construction update from our new space in Almelund, MN!

The roof is on, most of the siding is up, and insulation is complete. This week, sheetrock goes in as we continue making progress toward our end-of-July opening!

We’re also busy ordering exciting new quilting products, creating fresh samples, and bringing in beautiful new fabrics and patterns every week. So much goodness is on the way!

In the meantime, be sure to visit our Forest Lake store, browse the large sale section, and bring your coupon for June specials.

And yes… Jack drove his tractor to work this week! 🚜

We can’t wait to share more of the inside in the coming days. Stay tuned🎉

Join us in wishing Jim Rue a very Happy Birthday! 🎉

If you’ve ever had a question about a longarm machine, Jim probably had the answer. His knowledge, friendly personality, and genuine care for customers have made him a favorite at Country Loft.

We’re grateful for all he does and the friendships he’s built along the way. We hope you have a fantastic birthday, Jim! 🎂🎈

Today we honor the heroes who served and sacrificed for our country. 🇺🇸

This beautiful quilt is a reminder that every stitch can tell a story of courage, service, and remembrance. On this Memorial Day, we remember those who gave all for our freedom and hold their families close in our hearts.
