Rose Pohlar has been quilting since she was a little girl and has always loved it. When she married and had her first child, she wanted to find a way to work and still be at home for her first child. It was then in December of 1987 that she and her husband Kenny opened Pohlar Fabrics in one bay of their garage. Originally, the store carried a very small amount of fabric and focused on rug weaving, but as quilting became such a popular pastime, they added more fabrics and accessories to support the quilting world. Now their store is tailored almost exclusively to quilters. Over the years the store grew, adding more space several times to their original location. In January of 2017 Pohlar Fabrics moved into their current location which is 4 1/2 times bigger than their original location. For the past 33 years, Rose has run her business and raised her children and now 4 grandchildren from her business. Rose’s daughter Megan manages the shop for her parents. Megan, who made her first quilt at 9 and has currently designed 75 quilt patterns including 3 BOM series of her own, brings in a younger generation perspective that has added new life to the shop. Pohlar Fabric carries the original pattern designs of both Rose Pohlar and Megan Pohlar-McGuire. Rose specializes in purses and Twister patterns. Megan designs quilts, patterns using panels and has 3 Block of the Month series. We are a certified BERNINA Sales and Service center. Servicing all makes and models of sewing machines.
