Big news: Gotham Quilts has been acquired!
Today we have some HUGE news to share with you: Gotham Quilts has been acquired!
What does this mean?
It means you'll continue to be able to shop at the Gotham Quilts website, attend virtual classes and retreats, and stay connected to the community!
Introducing the new owners: Alison & Ken DeNoma
Alison pairs a lifetime of sewing and crafting with an accountant's eye for detail, turning creative sparks into fun and fabulous classes, kits, and community events. Her husband, Ken, draws on a background in operations and technology to keep every bolt of fabric counted, every live event streaming, and every customer connection seamless.
Current owners of Tiny Apple Fabric & Crafts in historic downtown Anoka, MN, Alison and Ken, along with their amazing team, have grown the shop from a tiny seed of an idea (pun intended) into a vibrant modern-quilting hub - recently voted Minnesota's Favorite Local Quilt Shop. The store curates on-trend fabrics, notions, and creative project kits while hosting classes, workshops, quilt-along events, and livestream sales that reach makers nationwide.
Guided by the tagline Stitches Made Modern, Tiny Apple blends Midwestern hospitality with forward-thinking retail, fostering an inclusive community, one stitch at a time.
