In December 2023, quilters and fabric enthusiasts can anticipate the launch of a fresh line named "Mercantile." With this collection, Lori Holt extends a warm, nostalgic homage to her grandmother Mildred (Millie) and the Herriman Mercantile store that was central to their hometown's heartbeat.
Lori’s journey into quilting began under her grandmother's and five great-aunts' gentle guidance. These memories and teachings not only fostered her skills but intertwined with her fabric and Lori Holt quilt patterns, sewing both heartfelt memories and robust tradition into every stitch.
Lori, along with her siblings and friends, would often pedal their bikes to The Mercantile to pay her grandma a visit and then meticulously select a dime's worth of penny candy. During their visits, they would also relish a bottle of soda from the pop machine nestled in the corner.
Every print within the “Mercantile” collection is meticulously named and brimming with cherished memories, effectively intertwining a playful and richly nostalgic atmosphere into every Lori Holt fabric.
