Fifteen Years! Wow… September 2016 marks the 15th anniversary of Cynthia's Fine Fabrics. We have come a long way and have met thousands of wonderful sewing enthusiasts along the way. What started as a dream sketched out in a journal became a reality on September 7th, 2001. We had only been open four days before that fateful day of Nine Eleven. So much has taken place since then, and sew many good things have happened at Cynthia's too.
Through the years we have endured Nine Eleven, the death of our parents, several hurricanes, and an economic collapse. But we made it! We have sponsored "Autumn in NY" twice, a fabric shopping field trip to New York City. We have sponsored PBS's "America Quilts Creatively TV show, and advertised on Martha Stewart and Project Runway TV shows.
In 2009 we added the Baby Lock brand, and in 2012 Hank received the Customer Service Award from Baby Lock at the annual dealer convention in St. Louis. Cynthia's has earned the Presidents Award from Pfaff Sewing Machines eight times, including 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015.
We have hosted a variety of sewing stars including: Louise Cutting, Peggy Sager, Loes Hinse, Walter Floriani, Laura Hayne, Margaret Moorhead, Karen Good, Sara Moe, Susan Green Baker, plus a few more. All of this has only been possible because of our great customers. You! Because of you we will continue. So please explore our website and discover more of what we have to offer.
