About Carlson Homestead

My mom became an avid quilter a few years ago, and when I got my fabric printer, which I intended to use to print t-shirts, she began asking me to print some custom quilt labels and squares for her, with Bible verses on them. After fulfilling her special requests, I began to look for Scripture fabric online and realized that there really isn't much out there in the way of Scripture fabric. With that realization, the ideas just came flooding to me to print and sell packs of themed, precut quilt squares, printed on high-quality fabric and ready to just throw into whatever project you need it for. I designed a few sets and listed them for sale on Etsy, and, to my surprise, people began to order them! So I designed more. And then I added some animal prints, just because I'm me! I look forward to adding more and more variety as the years go by!

I soon reached the point where I was no longer able to keep up with the demand, doing all of the printing myself, so I began to look for a place that would print my designs for me. After doing a lot of research, I found this little, family owned and American run fabric printing service, named Little Cocalico. When I ordered a sample, I was delighted with the quality and the service! 

I still do some of my printing myself, but much of my fabric is now printed by Little Cocalico. 

When I'm not designing and printing quilting fabric, I'm usually outside with my husband, Andy, enjoying life in the beautiful Black Hills of South Dakota. I love gardening and raising animals, riding horses, making sourdough bread, and basically anything that has to do with homesteading. 

Thank you for stopping in - your support makes a huge difference to my small business, and my life.
