We're a global leader in the quilting industry, loved for our innovative designs, original artwork, and top-notch quality. Nestled in beautiful Post Falls, Idaho, our mission is simple: inspire creativity and brighten lives.

We're a team that values positivity, teamwork, and a drama-free workplace (yes, really!). Every person here is valued, and we work hard to make Shabby Fabrics a place people love to come to every day.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Quilter to join our sewing team.

Pivoting between projects of varying sizes and priorities, including pausing one project to begin another as needed

Maintaining high standards of craftsmanship while working at an efficient pace

Qualifications:

Extensive experience in quilt piecing / patchwork (required)

Strong understanding of accurate seam allowances and precision sewing

Exceptional attention to detailaccuracy is critical in this role

Ability to confidently follow written patterns and instructions

Experience with rotary cutting tools, rulers, and sewing machines

Creative mindset, strong aptitude for color and layout, and problem-solving ability

Ability to work independently while contributing to a team environment

Strong work ethic, positive attitude, and willingness to ask questions rather than guess

Ability to stay focused and productive in a multi-person workspace

Bonus Skills (Not Required):

Appliqu or machine embroidery experience

Compensation and Benefits:

Competitive pay

Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance (waiting periods apply)

Paid Time Off and paid breaks

401(k) with 100% company match up to 4%

30% employee discount on regular-priced products after 90 days

Referral program

Employee Assistance Program

Additional Requirements:

Must be at least 18 years old
