The Dirt: New Quilting Bee store to resemble barn
Sat., Aug. 13, 2016
The Quilting Bee, a Spokane Valley business that offers quilting supplies and lessons, is building a $1 million retail structure designed to look like a country barn.
Work has started on the 11,000-square-foot, single-story building at 16002 E. Broadway Ave. The Quilting Bee, owned by Scot and Treasure Auble, stocks more than 6,000 bolts of fabric, sewing notions and supplies that include sewing, embroidery and quilting machines. It also handles machine repair and teaches about 100 classes a month.
Features of the new store include a 1,500-square-foot center for classes and special events, a kids play area and lounge called a “man cave.” McCloskey Construction is the contractor.
The Quilting Bee owners plan to move the business from leased quarters at 12117 E. Mission Ave. to the new location in February, after the structure’s expected completion.
