Glenda Spencer began Stone Cottage Crafts in 1987, as a cottage industry, for a stay at home mom with three young children. As the children grew, so did the business. The focus shifted from children's items and alterations, to custom sewing, making home decorating items for Homework Design in Toronto and boat tops and interiors, on Georgian Bay, with Superior Textile Fabricator's in Midland, Ont. In 2006, Glenda shifted the focus once again.

"I decided, if I was going to work, it was going to be at something I love to do; that something is quilting. What could be better than being surrounded by beautiful quilts and fabric. It's such a pleasure to have new quilters in a class and watch them get so excited when they see that they can create these works of art."

"One thing I found lacking is an outlet for quilters who would like to sell their work. To sell retail, puts a huge markup on items and puts most quality, handmade items out of reach. Selling online allows some very talented people to offer their quilts for sale, at a price that is fair to the quilter and the consumer." They are also available at the store at the same price.

Some of Glenda's work can be seen at Settler's Ghost Golf Club, just outside Craighurst, Ont.

STONE COTTAGE CRAFTS began in the Spencer's stone house, under the pines and maples, in beautiful Horseshoe Valley, Ont. and is now located at 2092 Horseshoe Valley Rd. in Craighurst Ont.
