The Iowa Quilt Block was established in 1987 by Mary Miller and grew to be a "must stop" for quilty travelers making their way across I-80. Shelley purchased the store from Mary in 2018. Shelley, along with family and friends has been running the shop every since!
Shelley learned to cross-stitch and embroider at the age of 5 when her grandmother gave her needlework for her birthday. She branched into other creative pursuits such as scrapbooking, sewing garments, dying fabrics, and painting, but fell in love with quilting after making her first quilt at age 30. Anything but traditional, Shelley likes to take traditional ideas and give them a modern twist of color and design. Her passion is encouraging others to take creative risks and learn new skills.
