In 2001, Sara and Bobby Balentine (owners of Heirlooms & Comforts located in Central, SC) expanded to open a second store in Greenville, SC and thus, Viking Sew 'n Quilt was born. A more contemporary space than the H&C location, VSQ houses great fabrics in a different selection. In early 2008, Sara Ballentine sold Viking Sew ‘n Quilt to the former manager Cathy Dyer. Cathy continues to offer to the quilters and sewers of Greenville and the surrounding area great selections of fabrics and quilting supplies and Husqvarna Viking machines and sergers.
