VALDOSTA, GA – The Chamber recognized Pinwheels Quilting as Small Business of the Month for August.
Pinwheels has been serving the Valdosta area for the past two years with their passion for sewing and quilting. Their goal is to provide a friendly gathering place where the local community can meet to inspire each other and share their craft. Since the sewing community varies in age and project interest, Pinwheels has catered their classes, clubs and events to meet everyone’s schedules and interests.
While they may have been open for only two years, they have seen phenomenal growth. After growing out of their first location, they have now doubled their fabric inventory and turned a one woman show into a full crew of seven employees.
Programs range from beginner sewing and quilting classes to their Saturday Sampler Event, a class that meets monthly and allows you to make enough quilt blocks after a year to construct your own quilt. They even will allow you to host birthday parties!
The Honor Quilt Program is a highlighted program that allows volunteers to make quilts that are then presented to a Service Member or First Responder at a special ceremony in their shop to honor and show appreciation for their service.
Pinwheels is located at 361 Northside Drive and can be reach by phone at 229-323-4531. Be sure to check out their social media accounts and their website at www.pinwheelsquilting.com for more details.
