Jane Lewis, Owner of The Quilter's Inn, has sewn all her life. She started sewing in high school and worked for a fabric store while in high school and college. Funny thing was, she really hated putting in zippers and sleeves, and talked her neighbor into doing it for her! She really didn't start quilting until 1994, at which time she met with a group of women who were quilting (in Atlanta).  Once started, she quickly became hooked on quilting -- as a hobby, an art form and eventually, her occupation!

In May of 2003, Jane decided to open a quilting store. Her business philosophy focused on hospitality and customer service. She wanted a store, but only if it would be welcoming, where women (and men!) could come in, stay all day, bring their sewing machine and have a good time! At The Quilter's Inn, it's all about being comfortable, and working with others who have the same love of touching the fabric, and sharing the joy of quilting.

We hope never to have anyone leave the store that hasn't spoken with a sales associate, or been helped in some way. Jane has assembled a team where each member is extremely knowledgeable and very service-oriented. Each of them comes to The Quilter's Inn with many years of experience in the world of quilting, whether they are designers, teachers, editors, writers or just passionate about fabric -- one staff member even has a degree in textiles. Classes are taught both by staff members and outside teachers, including some of the finest quilters and instructors in the Bay Area.

The Quilter's Inn is a member of the Danville Chamber of Commerce and Discover Danville, and of course our staff members belong to several of the local quilting guilds, including Diablo Valley Quilt Guild, Piecemakers Quilt Guild of Southern Alameda County and Amador Valley Quilters.
