On Friday, February 24, Angie Andreson, owner of The Quilting Loft, welcomed customers to her brand new shop on 2622 NW Market Street.

A small celebration was held for the opening of the new location, just across the street from The Quilting Loft's previous site.

The relocation also coincides with the shop's five year anniversary.

"It's a nicer, bigger space with a larger classroom, and more parking," said Andreson. "I'm hoping it will better serve our customers."

The opening was celebrated with a ribbon cutting, door prizes, and coffee supplied by its neighboring Firehouse Coffee, which recently welcomed Cyrus Yun as its new owner.
