I just released a new podcast episode with Forest Bell, the new owner of Quilt Country in Lewisville, TX!

Forest shares his journey from apparel into quilting and what inspired him to take over and completely renovate this 6,500 sq ft quilt shop — and let me tell you… it’s FULL of color and absolutely beautiful.

If you love Ruby Star, Kaffe Fassett, Tula Pink, Tilda, batiks and more — this store is a must-visit.

Texas Shop Hop is officially open and runs through 3/30/26, so this is the perfect time to go explore!
