About Us
Store Owner
The Piece by Piece building has been in Belinda's family for over 30 years. It's first mark of business was a part store, where Belinda first learned the ropes of running a business alongside her father. When Belinda wasn't helping customers look for nuts & bolts, she had her sewing machine in the back room, creating quilts. Today, what was a backroom hobby, has now turned into a dream. A shop that once stored parts is now renovated into a crafters dream. A space that now displays beautiful, crafted quilts, a rainbow of bolted fabrics, rows of woolen skeins of yarn and a work of collaboration with local artist.
Piece by Piece was designed not only to keep an inventory of tactile items and the fine arts, but also a working space for the community of crafters to come together to; learn, share experiences, create lasting friendships and a resource of knowledge to help solve your questions to your crafting inspirations.
Belinda's great love for all things crafty, doesn't exceed her love for her family. She has been married for 31 years to her high school sweetheart. They have two adult children and three grandchildren. When Belinda isn't spending time with her family, creating a new masterpiece, you will find her looking for the next great adventure.
