Quilt shop goes from vision to real life business

Shannon Graupman opened the doors to She Shed Quilts in North Branch in the fall of 2024, fulfilling a dream she had carried since childhood. Shannon learned to sew at her mother’s side when she was eight years old. Over the years quilting became not just a hobby, but a way to connect with others and Shannon looked for a space that was more than a retail store. She wanted a place where people could gather, learn new skills, and find encouragement among friends. Not from a business background, Shannon knew she needed help turning that vision into a viable business.
