If you could offer a unique service that would bring joy to people not only in your own Northfield, Ohio community, but throughout the state and even across the country, would you do it? That was the question that Bonnie and Mike Holodnak faced over a decade ago, and they answered with Memory Lane Quilting. The business has grown from a small operation that primarily worked with local quilt top makers in the Cleveland, Ohio area to produce finished quilts, as well as their t-shirt and memory quilts, to the Nolting Longarm dealer for most of the eastern United States. With locations in both Sagamore Hills, Ohio and Martinez, Georgia, Memory Lane Quilting continues to grow, offering more services and products to quilters and non-quilters alike. Whether you’re looking for longarm quilting classes, longarm quilting supplies, or a one of a kind personalized gift, Memory Lane Quilting is the place to go!
Despite working with people from all over the country who have heard about the unique services they offer, Memory Lane Quilting continues to be a locally-owned and family operated business. Husband and wife team Mike and Bonnie Holodnak run the Sagamore Hills based Memory Lane Quilting, while their son Steve and his wife Melanie are growing the business, nicknamed MLQ, in Martinez, Georgia.
Once thought to be dying art form, quilting is making a comeback. One reason for this is the growing popularity of t-shirt quilts, one of Memory Lane Quilting’s best-selling items. They have become so popular, in fact, that references to such items are showing up in popular culture including young adult literature and film. If you’ve been wracking your brain for a one of a kind personalized gift, a t-shirt quilt from Memory Lane Quilting may just be the answer. And don’t worry if you don’t live in the nearby Cleveland area. Folks from all over the country have shipped their shirts off to Bonnie and Mike, and have received beautiful keepsakes in return.
In addition to the unique services they offer, Memory Lane Quilting is an authorized dealer and distributor of Nolting Longarm sewing machines. These machines are another contributing factor to the recent resurgence of quilting. They saw that time is money, and the longarm sewing machines certainly help quilters to save time. Stitching a quilt from beginning to end by hand can take years. The Nolting machines have enable Bonnie and Mike to share their unique services with many more people than would have been possible if all of the quilting had to be done by hand. The average turnaround time for a t-shirt quilt is only about three weeks! The Holondaks also help local quilters become familiar with the machines by holding longarm quilting classes at the shop. If you’re already using this technique in the Northfield area, you can stop in to Memory Lane Quilting for all of your longarm quilting supplies, like rulers, backing fabrics, special batting, and thread.
Whether you’ve never quilted a stitch in your life, but would love to present someone with a one of a kind personalized gift, an experienced quilter looking for longarm quilting supplies, or a novice in need of longarm quilting classes, Memory Lane Quilting has what you need. The unique services and products that they provide have brought smiles and tears of happiness to local Cleveland, Ohio area customers as well as patrons from all over the country.
