About Us

September 12, 2001

On this date, Barbara opened the store as a fabric shop for children's clothing carrying mainly fabrics, patterns and threads as well as carrying our beloved BERNINA's. (Picture: Barb in the store first day we were open.)

Our BIG move -July 27th, 2023

While we were on Whitesburg Drive, we continued to grow until we outgrew our previous location and needed a larger space to better serve our customers. On July 27th, 2023 we moved into our beautiful new spacious location! Today at Barb's, you can find quilting fabrics, quilting patterns, notions, batting, precut fabrics, heirloom fabrics, heirloom laces, ribbons, garment patterns, beautiful buttons, smocking plates, BERNINA machines and accessories, as well as Horn cabinets, and many more things!

Address: 805 Regal Drive, Suite 10 Huntsville, AL 35801

The Next Generation

Imagine building a legacy that can go on for generations to come! That's exactly what Barb has done. Today at Barb's what started as a family business remains a family business. In June 2024, Barbara's son, Chris, and his wife, Valerie, took over as owners. We are continuing to grow and expanding product lines.
