Tina's Fabric Nook

This is our 2018 Row by Row! Inspired by the agricultural history of Grand County, as well as this year's theme, "Sew Musical!" See the blog post for more information.

Tina Holley is a talented, vivacious and well loved woman in the community. She is a wife, mother, and grandmother. She is a 3rd generation ranching wife, whose family roots in Grand County date back to the 1940’s. She has 4 adult sons and 5 precious grandchildren. Tina wears many hats. She added another “hat” when she purchased the Fabric Nook from her kindergarten teacher in 2015.

Tina has been sewing for over 45 years. She is a self-taught expert at everything she chooses to do. She began her creative journey as a garment maker in middle school by designing and creating her own clothes.  Later on, she took apart clothes from thrift stores and put them back together in order to improve her construction and alteration skills.  She also worked part-time at the Fabric Nook learning the business side of the industry. Tina had many private clients seeking her out to alter their wedding dresses and design consultation. In addition to her sewing expertise, she also knits, crochets, and is an award-winning quilter.

As a visionary and an artist with an eye for color and design, Tina is passionate about guiding customers in achieving their personal and creative goals.  She has a nurturing and entertaining personality, which makes her an excellent teacher, able to assist others in the creative process of constructing a quilted heirloom or project. Her goal is to empower and help make everyone’s idea a beautiful reality they can feel great about.
