<strong>FREE-MOTION QUILTING<br />ON THE BABY LOCK TIARA</strong><br />
Instructor: Linda Hall<br />
Time: 9:30am to 4:30pm<br />
Fee: $50 (kit included)
</td></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">With Baby Lock Grip and Template Quilting System The Creative Motion Quilting Design System was created by a quilter for quilters to make Free Motion Quilting faster and easier for the Beginner yet versatile enough for the more advanced stitcher.<br />
<br />
The system includes: Tru-Grip – with an offset holder for the Baby Lock Tru- Stitch Regulator. Free-Motion Grip – without the offset. Template pattern inserts for Structured Free-Motion Quilting. The main component is the Tru-Grip tool that acts as another set of hands to hold the quilt steady while free-motion quilting. The Tru-Grip also holds the Tru-Stitch Regulator secure so that the quilter can concentrate on his/her designs rather than holding on to the tools. No more racing motor or jerking speed, no more split second delay in movement and the machine's response, no more difficulty in controlling the machine or the stitch patterns, no matter how complex. Creative focus and flow is undisturbed without distraction when using it.</td>

</ul>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></h3>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Step 1 - Cut Your Fabric</span></h4>
<div>
<span style="clear: right; float: right; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Cut Fabric.jpg" height="133" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/qkLDv4UPdIUaYt_LkSwQ9s9aHUwr4vCPbZ_HUtyTX7XOnwk3HudLR_bsF5saah-p8dZdZVaJYqxlpuHs0nHDxyB3o2ALqeD1x1GmyAhCduc1Uc5_IPPgCm0bIADYooc9Fj9vlESa" style="border: none; transform: rotate(0rad);" width="200" /></span></span><span id="docs-internal-guid-d582b661-b323-e720-c2d8-2da2a25468e6" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First, cut fabric into 1” x 6” strips and organize them by pattern. The sizing does not have to be precise, just remember the thicker the pieces, the fuller the wreath. (Beware! If you cut the pieces too thick or short you’ll have trouble tying them - your fingers might grow little mouths and start to yell, “Why would you do this to us?!’).</span><br />
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></h4>
<h4>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Step Two - Knot Your Fabric</span></h4>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="clear: left; float: left; font-weight: 700; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img alt="Knot fabric.jpg" height="200" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/E1LYIGSk5FZGfrLcDCCt7mmBcS4Avew5bT1dacw6zk_VKa19At7TQs-eps4da_-knS7bRTeYNtmgl9rAt6cFtUtm8LJ2j6OxzICZ6UvBFSGgS1XK7w-wX4RsrRxlMOlDpzeoNXG7" style="border: none; transform: rotate(0rad);" width="132" /></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-d582b661-c72e-b2cd-497c-df912861b795"></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After your fabric is cut, begin tying the strips in simple knots around the wired frame. As you tie, keep the knots close together and bring </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">all the fabric forward so that one side of the wreath is all fabric, while the other is just the knots. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Continue this process around the frame until it’s completely full! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tips: Alternate colors and patterns for a more vibrant look and remember, the tighter the bunches, the fuller the wreath! </span></div>

Mary Jo’s Cloth Store was founded in 1951 by a young lady with a simple dream to own her own cloth shop. Now, 65 years later, we are celebrating the journey of the South’s Fabric Queen (Mary Jo) in conjunction with her 84th birthday! January 16, 2016 marks Mary Jo’s Cloth Store’s 65th Anniversary, and we have tons of fun events and offers in the works to celebrate Mary Jo’s favorite people, her customers, that day!<br />

In honor of 65 years, we are looking to find videos, pictures and stories our customers have about their times at Mary Jo’s Cloth Store. With 65 years of history behind us, we know there have to be a few good ones! Did your mother purchase the fabric for all of your back to school clothes from Mary Jo’s or did you spend hours upon hours contemplating the perfect lace for your wedding dress in our store with your closest friends? Do you have an adorable picture of your grandson asleep in his stroller at Mary Jo’s? Then you’re exactly who we are looking for!<br />

<strong>CONSTRUCTING A READY TO SMOCK BISHOP DRESS</strong>
<br />
Instructor: Kathy Dykstra
<br />
Time: 10am to 1pm
<br />
Fee: $45 (both sessions)
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">In this class the student will learn how to construct a ready-to-smock bishop dress. Tiny French seams as well as beautiful bias bands will be mastered in this class. After sewing the fronts, pleat their bishop dress with confidence under the watchful eye of the instructor. Those without a pleater will have their dresses pleated by the instructor. Although bias band sleeves will be sewn in class, a quick and easy way to stitch an elasticized puff sleeve will also be discussed for use in future projects. An easy, self-placket with 2-button closure finishes the back of the dress. With the bishop dress fully constructed, smocking and keeping stitch tension even is much easier to accomplish.<br />
<br />
This is not a smocking class; rather it is a construction class. Students will smock the dress at home after the construction is completed.

if you want to take up sewing as a hobby, then you’ll probably want to have
both fabric scissors AND a rotary cutter. Use the rotary cutter and mat for
cutting larger amounts of fabric. This method will save time and increase
accuracy.</span></div>

<strong>EASY PIECING AND QUILTING ON A SERGER</strong>
<br />
Instructor: Pam Carter
<br />
Time: 12:30 pm - 5 pm
<br />
Fee: $25
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">Inspired by the modern quilt movement, Susan Zellers created this quilt using her Ovation Baby Lock Serger. As an educator for Baby Lock she has always used her serger to piece garments because it is faster then her conventional machine. So she experimented with the chain stitch and found it very strong, fast and easily removed, and not a knife to deal with.

Mary Jo’s was the first big-box store in the industry. Just a few decades ago, future brides and their families would come to Mary Jo’s for one intense shopping spree. During the spree, they would buy everything necessary to make each of their dresses and turn themselves out as an ensemble by virtue of their coordinating clothing. For years we have thrived as one of the only one-stop suppliers in the nation to costume designers of theater productions and films.<br />
<br />
Today, our bridal and costume fabric inventory is much smaller - an index to the fabric industry at large. Fabrics that used to come in quantities of 2,000 yards or more, are now reduced to as few as 500 yards. Unfortunately, almost all of these fabrics are now produced by mills overseas and the quantity they produce is made to order. This method of production does not take into account retail stores, nor does it support the home sewing market.<br />
<br />
As more garment manufacturing moves overseas, fewer leftover bolts of fabric, called “off goods,” are available to fabric retailers in the United States. Less selection hurts independent stores, like us, who built their reputation on having the widest selection around. While in the past we might try to keep 15 shades of a certain fabric on the shelves, that’s just not possible if manufacturers cut back to only seven shades. Today only enough goods are made to fill orders – nothing extra like in the past.<br />
<br />
Large quantities of fabric must be requested months in advance, and chances are it’s “one run and done.” No manufacturer wants to be sitting on thousands, or even hundreds, of unsold yards of fabric. While some excess does become available, the majority of it is shipped to New York or the West Coast, at which point shipping it would outweigh the price of the fabric itself.<br />
<br />
Let us assure you, our valued costume and bridal fabric shoppers, that you have not been forgotten and that your business is greatly appreciated. It is not by choice that we carry less of your favorites and we too are frustrated by the overall shortage of costume and bridal fabrics.<br />
<br />
We cannot say enough how sad it makes us to feel as though a large portion of our client base feels forgotten. We strive to make each and every customer feel welcomed and appreciated; your needs are important to us. Please feel free to come in or message us with any questions and we will do our best to assist you with finding any fabric you might need.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.nationalsewingmonth.org/" target="_blank">National Sewing Month</a> was founded September
21, 1982 at the request of the American Home Sewing & Craft Association, an
industry and trade association which supports the sewing and craft industries.
President Ronald Reagan declared September as National Sewing Month in
recognition of the importance of home sewing to our Nation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Several other proclamations naming
September as National Sewing Month were issued by President Reagan during his
time in office stating, “Tens of millions of Americans sew at home. Their
efforts demonstrate the industry, the skill and the self-reliance which are so
characteristic of this Nation.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are no records of how National
Sewing Month was celebrated in its early years and few references exist on any
specific outreach, activities or advertising. In the summer of 2004, the Home
Sewing Association (HSA) (formerly the American Home Sewing & Craft
Association) renewed its dedication to National Sewing Month by commissioning a
new logo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In May of 2005, the HSA submitted a
proposal to the Office of Proclamations asking for a revival of National Sewing
Month. The letter stated, “The revival and recognition of September as National
Sewing Month gives the industry an annual celebrated boost to all those associated
in the business of home sewing. The re-declaration of this proclamation will
aid in promoting and energizing commerce, re-inspiring consumers and
introducing sewing to new demographics.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On July 20, 2005, the Special
Assistant to the President and Director of Presidential Correspondence sent a
note of regret that the request could not be accommodated. HSA’s management
understood that a new proclamation was not a requirement to promote September as
National Sewing Month and a full advertising campaign was launched, including
press releases, ads, flyers, web banners and a digitized logo available for
free download from their website.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the re-launch of National
Sewing Month in 2005, the HSA placed major efforts on marketing and promoting
the National Sewing Month campaign. Themes like “Sewing… the alternative yoga,”
“Sewing… Express Your Creative Spirit” and “Sewing…it’s what you make of it”
were chosen and support and participation from local and national retailers,
the American Sewing Guild (ASG) chapters, sewing educators, online retailers,
school systems and other sewing enthusiasts really helped the campaign gain
popularity within the sewing world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In December of 2007, the HSA closed
its doors, but just a few months later the American Sewing Guild (formerly part
of the HSA) joined forces with the Sewing & Craft Alliance, a new program
started by HSA’s former Executive Director and its former webmaster. The ASG
wished to continue the promotion of National Sewing Month while providing a
central location for the distribution of National Sewing Month information and
materials to organizations, educators, sewing enthusiasts and anyone else
interested in promoting or participating in activities for National Sewing
Month. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today,
National Sewing Month is presented by the Sewing & Craft Alliance in
partnership with the American Sewing Guild. Here are some ways you can get
involved in national sewing month:</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Teach a family member or friend to
sew – start with a trip to Mary Jo’s of course!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Volunteer your time and teach sewing
to a local youth organization like Girl Scouts and 4-H Clubs.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Make it possible for someone to
learn how to sew! Volunteer your time or donate fabrics, equipment and sewing
supplies to local women’s groups.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sew more often. If you haven't been
sewing lately, come into Mary Jo’s to find out what's new in the sewing world!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Join your local chapter of the
American Sewing Guild at <a href="http://www.asg.org/">www.asg.org</a> and
participate in its activities. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Register for a class here at Mary Jo’s
and bring a friend!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Contact your local public television
station and make a contribution that supports sewing programs.</span></li>
<li><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Create your own sewing circle of friends; it’s
fun to sew (and take trips to Mary Jo’s) with others!</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">National Sewing Month is the perfect
time to celebrate and indulge in your passion for sewing and a great
opportunity to start sewing if you never have before! But, keep in mind that
the creative, therapeutic and calming effects of sewing are joys that we can
celebrate throughout the entire year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy Sewing!</span></div>

<strong>CONSTRUCTING A READY TO SMOCK BISHOP DRESS</strong>
<br />
Instructor: Kathy Dykstra
<br />
Time: 10 am - 1 pm
<br />
Fee: $45 (both sessions)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">In this class the student will learn how to construct a ready-to-smock bishop dress. Tiny French seams as well as beautiful bias bands will be mastered in this class. After sewing the fornts, pleat their bishop dress iwth confidence under the watchful eye of the instructor. Those without a pleater will have their dresses pleated by the instructor. Although bias band sleeves will be sewn in class, a quick and easy way to stitch an elasticized puff sleeve will also be discussed for use in future projects. An easy, self-packet with 2-button closure finishes the back of the dress. With the bishop dress full constructed, smocking and keeping stitch tension even is much easier to accomplish.

<h3>
Keeping Up with the Times </h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjot91WZFGplHdXZhSj2cE9MwMaqndDGBbVeHv6aQWkr0E-PkC53NPlSLSDy16RFj_qcMXmhhSt4ULvyOmd9iSv1e3pBx96HGwtOtpBtRRygae6jb4-GI2EDG99SA0-H-kpL0i3PHIZ7ifn/s1600/store.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="219" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjot91WZFGplHdXZhSj2cE9MwMaqndDGBbVeHv6aQWkr0E-PkC53NPlSLSDy16RFj_qcMXmhhSt4ULvyOmd9iSv1e3pBx96HGwtOtpBtRRygae6jb4-GI2EDG99SA0-H-kpL0i3PHIZ7ifn/s320/store.PNG" width="320" /></a></div>
While we strive to maintain Mary Jo’s Cloth Store’s original values, we have changed with the times. In 1951, when Mary Jo first established her business in the back of her father’s grocery store, her clientele was mainly stay-at-home moms on a budget. Thomas Cloninger, Mary Jo’s son and current CEO and CFO says, “She kept her markdown low to keep it affordable.” Mary Jo never advertised. She would say “It isn’t good money sense… That money could buy fabric and give customers a second or third selection instead.” And, adds Thomas, “she never looked at a balance sheet.” However, with the fall of the textile industry and a loss of interest in the sewing community in general (think of making clothing versus back-to-school shopping) we’ve had to alter this part of Mary Jo’s business plan. Of course, our biggest concern is keeping our prices low, our inventory high and our customers happy, but bringing in new customers and letting people know what we have to offer is now more vital to our business than it was 50 years ago.<br />
<br />
Today we work with a small, local marketing team who helps us gather new customers and stay connected with returning customers. They help us run our social media accounts, plan our major sales events and manage our website among a list of other things that help us stay connected. While Mary Jo might have never considered a luxury like a website herself, we understand that it is crucial to our business. Our online orders span the entire globe – something we could have never done with the physical store alone. But, don’t worry about us getting too crazy; we stick to a plethora of Mary Jo’s original wishes, like our handmade signs that still adorn the store. Take for instance the one that hangs above the checkout counter - “Mary Jo's will always be open to serve our customers” – that’s something that will never change.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Same Family Business; Same Ideas and Service</h3>
Mary Jo has retired, but we still honor the characteristics of a family business. Several of Mary Jo’s direct family members remain strongholds of the Mary Jo team. But, Mary Jo never worried about selling out. Instead, she fretted about selection, pleasing her customers and making sure that her store lived up to its reputation. At the end of the day, she believed that the future would never be a problem and that everything would take care of itself. While Mary Jo could have gone nationwide early in her career, she would say, “I belong to no one. I run an independent business as I see fit. I am the exception to the norm… I am asked every day to open up a new store… I will not, because if you can’t do it well, don’t do it – and I can’t be in three or five places at once.”<br />
<br />
Mary Jo’s has succeeded because we don’t follow the usual level of retail markups. We have a lower overhead, and we attribute our success to the tremendous values we pass along to our customers. We offer a better value than most of the competition because of our huge volume, but the secret is that we truly care about our customers. We try our best to make their trip worthwhile, because people are taking time out of their day, sometimes even traveling, to get here. We try to make it an exciting trip.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Changes in the Industry</h3>
Just a few decades ago, future brides and their families would come to Mary Jo’s for one intense shopping spree. During the spree, they would buy everything necessary to make each of their dresses and turn themselves out as an ensemble by virtue of their coordinating clothing. Today, the bridal inventory is much smaller - an index to the fabric business at large. Fabric that used to come in quantities of 2,000 yards or more, are now reduced to as few as 500 yards. Large quantities of fabric must be requested months in advance, and chances are it’s “one run and done.” No manufacturer wants to be sitting on thousands, or even hundreds, of unsold yards of fabric.<br />
<br />
Despite the shifting conditions, Mary Jo’s has continued to thrive as one of the only one-stop suppliers in the nation to designers of theater productions, films, quilting fests and sumptuously appointed homes. “She was the first big-box store in the industry,” says Thomas concerning his mother’s enterprise. As more garment manufacturing moves overseas, fewer leftover bolts of fabric, called “off goods,” are available to fabric retailers in the United States. Less selection hurts independent stores like us who built their reputation on having the widest selection around. While in the past we might try to keep 15 shades of denim on the shelves, that’s just not possible if manufacturers cut back to only seven shades. Today only enough goods are made to fill orders – nothing extra like in the past.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Today</h3>
Just like the textile industry as a whole, our business plan has transformed during our 64 years of business. However, our core values, ideas and service have remained the same. Mary Jo’s is in the trusted and valued hands of her dearest children, and they strive to keep Mary Jo’s Cloth Store as true to its name sake as possible, day in and day out.<br />

From orange to organza to polka dot polyester to satin in more shades than a bridesmaid can imagine, Mary Jo’s Cloth Store in Gastonia can overwhelm even the most fervent fabric fan.<br />
<br />
A bit of advice if you venture into Mary Jo’s Cloth Store in Gastonia for a specific item - a button, perhaps, or a yard of fabric for your summer sewing project: Make a list. The sheer size of the store - 32,000 square feet and so humble in its decor that the word <i>warehouse </i>glorifies it - is so staggering that you may be momentarily stuck with amnesia. Aisle upon aisle of fabric. Rack after rack of zippers and threads. The options seem endless. Metal, coil, invisible, plastic, and open-ended zippers line up, eight shades of pink melding into coral on one end and red on the other. Survey the store’s sections: quilting, home “dec,” bridal materials, three walls devoted to trim and ribbon in every conceivable width and color. You recognize the sensation that’s been tickling your mind: abundance. No matter why you came to the store in the first place, you have the comforting feeling that, inside Mary Jo’s, you’ll never run out of anything you could possibly need or want.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Untold miles of fabric in every conceivable texture, color, and pattern fill Mary Jo’s Cloth Store. The sight has been known to inspire a plunge into a stack of cottony cloth, as the store’s namesake did for a photo that appeared in The Charlotte Observer on June 9, 1997.</td></tr>

<br />
Nowhere is that joy of abundance more evident than in one of the most publicized photographs of the store’s founder, Mary Jo Cloninger. Photographed from above, she rests atop bolts of cloth, one arm encircling her head as if she were on a luxurious mattress. That joy, and her more than 60 years in the business, earned her the unofficial title of Fabric Queen.<br />
<br />
In 1951, when Mary Jo established her business in the back of her father’s grocery store, her clientele was the stay-at-home mother on a budget. “She kept her markdown low to keep it affordable,” says Thomas Cloninger, Mary Jo’s son and current CEO and CFO. She didn’t advertise. And, adds Thomas, “she never looked at a balance sheet.”<br />
<br />
As the business grew, it overtook her father’s commercial space, and Mary Jo moved the shop to its own separate locale down the road in Dallas, and finally to Gaston Mall. All the while, Mary Jo’s continued to cater to families, especially their weddings.<br />
<br />
Back in the ‘60s and ‘70s, when the store carried 25 to 30 colors of satin, in would come what Betty Cloninger, buying manager and Thomas’s wife, calls “the tribe”: the bride; her mother; her grandmother; and a slew of bridesmaids, aunts, and cousins. In one intense shopping spree, they bought everything necessary to make all of their dresses and turn themselves out as an ensemble by virtue of their coordinating clothing.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Proof that the love of fabric is a family affair: Thomas Cloninger with his mother, the matriarch and namesake of Mary Jo’s Cloth Store.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
Nowadays, the bridal inventory has shrunk, an index to the fabric business at large. Pre-recession mill runs of 2,000 and 2,500 yards or more of individual fabrics are now reduced to as few as 500 yards. If Betty wants some of that yardage, she must express interest as far as nine months in advance. Chances are it’s “one run and done.” No manufacturer wants to be sitting on thousands, or even hundreds, of unsold yards of fabric.<br />
<br />
Despite the shifting conditions, Mary Jo’s has continued to thrive as one of only five or so one-stop suppliers in the nation to designers of theater productions, films, quilting fests, and sumptuously appointed homes. “She was the first big-box store in the industry,” says Thomas of his mother’s enterprise.<br />
<br />
Mary Jo has retired now. But the company still honors the characteristics of a family business. The store manager, Jeannie Guffey, has served for 39 years. Guffey’s mother worked here, too, putting in 45 years. Guffey’s granddaughter occasionally fills in. And a handmade sign still hangs above the checkout counter: “Mary Jo's will always be open to serve our customers.” Here, on the packed notions wall, buttons range from timeless pearlescence to checkered racing flags. Kilt pins, tomato pincushions, and wooden darning eggs from an earlier era take their place next to the latest gadgets for hemming and marking and cutting and quilting. Barry Manilow croons “Copacabana” over the sound system. And the fields of cotton roll on as far as the eye can see.<br />
<br />
<i>Cynthia Lewis, who teaches Shakespeare and creative nonfiction at Davidson College, regularly publishes nonfiction. She got hooked on Mary Jo’s when, in the 1980s, she began making curtains for her new home.</i><br />
