About Us
Carlson Homestead Quilting began by accident—but quickly became a passion. I (Stephanie Carlson) originally set out to start a t-shirt brand, investing in printing equipment and supplies. Then my mom, an avid quilter, asked if I could print some Bible verses onto fabric squares for her quilts. I did, and on a whim, I listed a few in my Etsy shop. To my surprise, they sold!
That’s when I realized how hard it is to find high-quality, faith-based fabric—especially focal point squares: precut fabric squares with perfectly centered Christian designs, ready to sew into any project with no extra trimming.
So, I shifted focus. Every design is created in-house or through collaborations with artists and printed on premium cotton fabric. What started as a favor for my mom has grown into a mission: to provide beautiful, faith-filled fabric for quilters and crafters who want to share their beliefs through their work.
I hope our fabric brings inspiration, encouragement, and faith to every stitch.
