💬 General Questions

Q: Where is Hearts Forever Entwined based?
We’re based online and rooted in love from Salem, Oregon. However, there are caveats as to where your items are coming from. Please see below and reach out with any questions.

  • All pre-made quilt kits and handmade items by me, custom embroidery services, fabric, patterns, notions, books, etc. ship from Salem, Ore.
  • Print on Demand items ship from my distribution partners.
  • All items from my Mom's stash ship from Ankeny, Ia. 

Q: What makes this boutique special?
This boutique was created in memory of my mom, Kathy, who was an avid quilter and source of inspiration. Every product -- from kits to stash fabric -- is selected with the same love and attention she gave to every quilt she made.

🧵 Quilting Kits & Fabric Questions

Q: Are your kits ready-to-ship or made-to-order?
Our kits are made-to-order, ensuring every bundle is fresh, intentional, and cut with care using the AccuQuilt system.

Q: What’s included in a pre-cut quilting kit?
Each kit includes pre-cut fabric pieces (specific to the pattern) and a materials guide. All kits include instructions and/or recommended pattern pairings.

Q: What is a charm pack, jelly roll, or layer cake?
These are popular Moda fabric precuts you’ll find in our “Fabric Treats” section:

  • ✨ Charm Packs = 5" squares
  • 🌀 Jelly Rolls = 2.5" strips
  • 🍰 Layer Cakes = 10" squares
    They make piecing fast and fun!

Q: Can I request specific colors or themes for a quilt kit?
Absolutely! Please send us a message or include your preferences in the order notes -- we’ll do our best to accommodate. We are also in the process of creating a "build your own kit" collection.

Q: What’s “Kathy’s Legacy Stash (aka My Mom's Stash)”?
These are select fabrics, kits, notions, rulers, patterns, etc. from my mom’s personal quilting collection. Handpicked and limited, they’re a special way to carry her memory forward in your own projects.
