“It’s a very relationship-based business we’re in, if you choose it to be,” Thurgood said. “That’s what it was all about for me from day one.'
My Girlfriend’s Quilt Shoppe, set to open its third Utah location, managed to “pivot” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I didn’t even own a sewing machine, they would just let me borrow theirs,” Thurgood said. “They invited me in their circle, we started sewing, and it just took off from there. I fell in love with it.” Thurgood emailed her husband, Mike, who then was an international sales director who traveled for work. Mike was in China when Kris asked him if he would ever consider opening a quilt shop together. Mike’s initial response, Kris said, was that they would talk when he got home.“We decided that we were going to jump in with both feet, there was no plan,” she said. “We would make it work, no matter what.
“It’s a very relationship-based business we’re in, if you choose it to be,” Thurgood said. “That’s what it was all about for me from day one. Opening up a store, it just had to be more than a place where you have fabric cuts. It would be a gathering place for women, especially, but men as well.” Quilting, she said, is a way for people to express themselves emotionally. “Pain to joy, all of these emotions are [expressed] through quilting into something tangible with fabric, thread and sewing,” she said.
