✨ Staff Spotlight: Gail Graves ✨

This week we're excited to introduce one of the talented faces behind the scenes at Kelley’s Quilt Shop—Gail Graves!

Gail wears many hats around the shop, helping with longarm quilting on our Nolting longarm machine, piecing quilts together, sewing projects, and even sewing machine repairs. Whether she's helping finish a treasured quilt or getting a machine back in working order, she takes great pride in every project she touches.

What does she love most about working here? The atmosphere. Gail says the shop feels like home, with great morale, wonderful customers, and a relaxing environment full of creativity and character. Building relationships and friendships with our customers is one of her favorite parts of the job.

🧵 Favorite Quilting Tool:
A good ruler! "It's the basis of a good square product." Accurate measuring and cutting are the foundation of every great quilt.

🪡 Current Projects:
She's keeping busy with six projects right now, including:
• A baby quilt
• Three memory quilts
• Memory bears
• Projects for A Mountain Quiltfest in Pigeon Forge, TN

She's also continuing to learn more about our American-made Nolting longarm machine and the computer technology that helps bring quilting designs to life.

📚 Her Recommendation for Beginners:
Start with a basic sewing class! Building a strong foundation opens the door to endless possibilities. Sewing can become a stress reliever, a creative outlet, and a hobby you'll love for years to come. Plus, classes are a wonderful way to meet fellow sewists, share ideas, learn new techniques, and pick up plenty of helpful tips and tricks along the way.

We're so thankful to have Gail as part of the Kelley’s Quilt Shop family!

Be sure to say hello to Gail the next time you stop by the shop.

✂️ Rotary cutters are one of the most useful tools in a quilter’s toolkit!

🧵 Quilt Tip Thursday 🧵
Trim Your Thread Tails as You Sew
It may seem like a small thing, but trimming thread tails as you piece can make a big difference later.
✔️ Reduces bulk in your seams
✔️ Prevents dark threads from showing through light fabrics
✔️ Makes pressing easier and flatter
✔️ Helps keep batting fibers from catching on loose threads during quilting
Many quilters focus on perfect points and accurate seams, but those little thread tails can add up quickly across an entire quilt.
A few extra snips while sewing can lead to a cleaner, flatter, more professional-looking finish. ✂️🪡
Do you trim as you go, or wait until the end? Let us know in the comments!
