Our Story

About Us

More Than a Studio

Longarm Quilting Lab was born from a love of quilting and a deep desire to build community. What started as SparklesaxDesigns has evolved into something bigger — a creative space where quilters of every level can learn, create, and connect.

Located in Chicago, our studio is designed to be your creative home. Whether you're here for a class, renting a machine, or just soaking up the creative energy during Open Studio, you'll find a welcoming space that feels like it was made just for you.

We believe in equity pricing, inclusive community, and the power of making things with your hands. Every stitch tells a story — and we can't wait to help you tell yours.
