2025 Check-In:
If there’s one store that truly knows how to throw a party, it’s SewEndipitous in Rock Hill, North Carolina.
Get ready for some truly memorable experiences with SewEndipitous’s upcoming events.
One of the most anticipated is their fantastic bus party to the 2025 Asheville Quilt Show.
This isn’t just a ride; it’s an experience in itself!
The trip will be packed with engaging games and exciting giveaways. And, of course, it will include your admission to the prestigious show, ensuring a day of inspiration and enjoyment.
But you don’t have to be in the Rock Hill area to join in on the fun!
One highly anticipated event that anyone can participate in, regardless of their location, is their special announcement party for the winners of their “Hues Clues” quilt challenge.
For this unique challenge, quilters were given a hue at random, along with a complementary color.
The creative task was to feature their assigned hue in at least 60% of their quilt, showcasing it in beautiful light, medium, and dark shades.
Submissions for this visually stunning challenge were due on June 21st and have been on display for public voting since July 12th.
The excitement is building as the winners of this vibrant challenge will be officially announced on July 29th during their special Facebook Live event!
Regardless of where you live, join in to see the vibrant SewEndipitous community.
Mark your calendars and tune in to celebrate the incredible talent of these quilters.
If you happen to miss the live broadcast, don’t worry. You can view the replay of the Live for 30 days after it airs, giving you plenty of time to catch up on all the excitement.
Alternatively, be sure to follow SewEndipitous on Facebook to see posts featuring the prize-winning quilts and get inspired by the stunning results of the “Hues Clues” challenge!
As the 2023, 2024, 2025 South Carolina Regional Winner and 2024 United States Grand Prize Winner, SewEndipitous has a lot of experience with the Local Quilt Shop Contest.
Here are their thoughts as they reflected on the impact of the contest.
“Our community has really shown up for us for each Local Quilt Shop Contest.
It is more about how our community have impacted us because of the contest with their outpouring of love and support.
“They are our biggest cheerleaders and continue to be so.
They celebrate with us and feel the same pride we do. They post their pride on their social media, tell their friends, and share the word.
It has increased our exposure as well, as we do have folks that drop in from time to time that let us know they saw us from the Local Quilt Shop Contest.
We love and support ByAnnie and feel equally supported by them. It’s a great relationship.”

Since we last spoke about SewEndipitous, they’ve become a HandiQuilter dealer and added a certified HandiQuilter technician on staff. Local quilters are excited to have this new resource at their favorite store.
SewEndipitous has also expanded their exclusive designs to include a new bunch of eccentric sewists, the Peculiar Ladies of the Misfit Quilters Guild.
Together, these ladies form a tight-knit community of quilters who are always ready to share their love for sewing with anyone who will listen.
They gather at different hotspots in town as often as possible, setting up their sewing machines and quilting supplies, ready to espouse the art of quilting to any willing ear.
When asked about the impact of the Local Quilt Shop Contest, SewEndipitous replied:
“The contest gives the customers something to buzz about and work together in efforts to climb the Leaderboard during the voting phase, as they all want to see an amazing ByAnnie Trunk Show in THEIR shop if their LQS wins.
We won South Carolina last year. The Live showcase that ByAnnie did for our shop really brought in new shoppers from surrounding counties, as they didn’t know we existed prior.
Also, during the Trunk Show which we had during our All Carolina Shop Hop, shoppers came in looking for the Trunk Show due to hearing about it on your videos.
The influx of new customers is such a blessing. Thank you!
As an added bonus, it really has sparked others’ interest to make bags and totes, which I love, so therefore, I was able to beef up my stock on all things ByAnnie!”
Please tell us your store’s story.
SewEndipitous was born out of a love of remembering a childhood surrounded by sewing, quilting, and crafting.
It came from those precious memories of grandmothers, aunts, and my mother Emily Sue — watching these ladies sew, quilt, crochet, and knit, infusing every stitch with love for friends and family.
I learned all my skills young and fostered them as I grew. The joy and the passion of such traditional arts are something one just can’t explain — it must be experienced. The truth is these nearly-lost arts, once discovered, are best defined as SewEndipitous – Where Unexpected Happiness is Found in Every Stitch!
For me, Lisa Renee’ Baker, SewEndiptious is a way to pass on this multi-generational craft and to share my love of fabric, sewing, quilting, etc., with other like-hearted friends unknown — my SewEndipitous Sisters (and brothers).

For those who have not seen the store, please describe it.
Our shop is 5,000 square feet and offers quilting fabric, HUSQVARNA® VIKING® sewing, embroidery and serger machines and accessories, as well as Arrow® and Kangaroo® Sewing Furniture, and our exclusive quilting and sewing themed SewEndipitous® Designs.
We are located in beautiful Rock Hill, South Carolina, just minutes from Charlotte, North Carolina, off Exit 77 of Interstate 77.
Discover quilt fabric, quilting and sewing classes, sewing machines, sewing furniture, and a wonderful quilting community.
Among the standard quilt shop items mentioned above, we are proud of our SewEndipitous® Designs, which is our exclusive line of quilting and sewing-inspired creations, including greeting cards, adult coloring books, journals, calendars, artwork, and eventually, our own line of quilting fabric. Our very own Steve Baker (Lisa’s brother) brings his unique style and creativity to everything in the SewEndipitous® Designs treasures.
We are just on the border of Charlotte, NC. Therefore, there are too many attractions to mention them all. To name a few, we have tons of golf courses, Carowinds Theme Park, Riverwalk Outdoor Recreational, arts and theatres, and great things in a small town giving a big city vibe.
