Bearly Quilting was started in 2002 as a hobby-business at our home in Sonora, California.  The business began primarily by making and selling custom quilts.  Later, we expanded and became dealer representatives for HandiQuilter, long-arm quilting machines, frames, and accessories. 

As the business continued to grow, we expanded to a full retail store front in 2006.  We now provide a full line of fabrics, notions, books, patterns, and threads.  We also carry a large selection of giftware and seasonal novelty items.  With our new location, Bearly Quilting is now the largest full-service quilt store in the Sierra foothills.  A variety of classes are offered throughout the year using both local and well known featured instructors.  Classes are held in our 700 square foot classroom which also serves as a meeting room and space for a variety of quilting bees to sew and socialize with other quilters.

We recognize that our employees are our most important resource.  As such, we strive to instill a positive work environment to maintain a happy, friendly workforce that projects that feeling to our customers.

At Bearly Quilting our slogan is "...fabric, friends, fun".  While all quilt stores carry the fabric, supplies, and offer classes, we believe that most quilters want to shop, sew, and socialize in a friendly, hospitable store that demonstrates continued appreciation for their business.  Our greatest completitive advantage is providing superior customer service to the quilting community.  We understand that our customers are our top priority and the primary reason for why we are in business.  

We’d love to have you stop by the store and be part of our quilting family.
