Sara is the owner of Heirlooms & Comforts. What started as a love of sewing and a hobby has turned into a thriving business and the oldest quilt shop in South Carolina. Quilting has been in Sara's family for generations and she still has many of the priceless family heirlooms hanging on the walls above the fabric bolts in the shop in Central. With two daughters among her four children, Sara sewed their clothing when they were young
A former English and French teacher, Sara has combined her love of the arts of sewing and quilting with her superb teaching ability and has assembled a staff of knowledgeable and friendly associates.
