I've written a few posts recently about
here in the Phoenix area.
Several people have e-mailed me
with questions about the name and asked
"Is the store really run by 3 Dudes?"
The answer is yes!
We are so used to seeing most quilt stores being owned
and operated by women
it's understandable to be a little surprised
when we view 3 men
lead together in the industry.
Jeff
Frank
and
Ray
have been in operation since 2009
and have created a wonderful store!
I have been dropping by on Tuesdays lately
with my friend Denise
for their
Sit and Sew
and this is a great place to hang out.

And at Christmas
you will find them substituting

well that is pretty neat, I know of several male quilters and think it is a pitty more do not try it - can't get the husband to even pick up a needle although from time to time he buys me fabric for gifts and goes out of his way to stop at a fabric store for me when we travel.
My husband is not a "quilter", but he is our Club's official Seam Ripper! He will gladly sit for hours and pick apart 'mistakes'...he has taken apart whole quilts and just some blocks...he loves it, and says "bring it on"! Also totally supportive and helpful to me in choosing colors, layouts, patterns, etc.
Thanks Nedra, I thought 3 dudes is own by men. I'm glad you explain it to us. Good on ya dudes! Hugs Nat
Hi Nedra! Forwarding this to a friend who winters in Mesa - she also knows Melissa Ryther!
