About Us

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 as its own stand-alone internet store! 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. We're now in Kirkland, WA, about 5 miles outside of Seattle, WA.

Hours

Right now we do not have set business hours, as staff is very limited. We hope to change this by later 2010. For fastest service, please contact us via email.
