The web store, discountneedlework.com, was started in
around 1998 as an additional sales channel for a
retail quilting and needlepoint shop.
Judy and Catherine Bracken founded The Cottage in
1993 to teach quilting, needlepoint and cross stitch
and sell needlework supplies. By 1998, though, the
business had grown to include gifts and home
accessories. In the next couple of years, the
needlework portion of The Cottage became
discountneedlework.com, as a small internet-based
business.
Discountneedlwork.com grew in popularity and size,
and this year celebrates its 10th year in business! In
2009, Catherine decided to find a new home for
discountneedlework.com, and contacted Leigh Berggren,
who worked in the business for 2.5 years in the early
2000s. Leigh happily took up the opportunity, and
discountneedlework.com is now based in its new home in
Washington state, as part of Leifgren Reinhart
Company.
