Inspired to Sew is a Fabric Store, a Quilt Shop, and an Authorized Bernina and Babylock Sewing Machines Dealer in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Established in January 1999, Owner Jill Reicks had started a business with friends in 1988 making gift items that were sold at craft fairs then craft shows, then through Country Sampler magazine. Then the quilt shop idea popped up and in less than six weeks, we opened our store doors in the charming town of Cresco, Iowa. In 2003, Inspired to Sew moved to Cedar Rapids and we continue to Inspire people to find their love for sewing. With hundreds of classes each year and more than 7,000 square feet of an amazing location, we continue to strive to have the tools and talent to keep sewing alive and thriving. Sewing has grown to reach all ages and interests with a wide scope of sewing taking hold of the world. With a welcoming and inspiring environment and where you will be Inspired to Sew.
