If you’re exploring the I-10 corridor and find yourself near Sulphur, Louisiana, there’s a quilt shop worth pulling over for:
Flowers 2 Fabric, the Regional Winner for Louisiana in the 2023 and 2024 Local Quilt Shop Contests.
This cozy spot isn’t just a fabric store — it’s a community hub where Southern hospitality shines as brightly as the colorful bolts of fabric lining the walls.
Nestled in a humble 1,200 square foot shop, it carries over 1,000 bolts of fabric, Janome Sewing Machines, and a wide selection of ByAnnie patterns and notions.
What really sets Flowers 2 Fabric apart is the heartwarming atmosphere and the dedication of its owner, Tonya Moak.
Tonya first opened Flowers 2 Fabric in 2007 as an online-only venture.
A teacher by trade, she juggled her dream of running a quilt shop with the demands of the classroom.
Fast forward to 2019, when, after a series of serendipitous events (including her father buying the perfect property at just the right time), Tonya opened the shop’s physical doors.
Though it operates primarily on Saturdays and by appointment, the shop has blossomed into a beloved destination for quilters near and far.

It’s not just the inventory that keeps quilters coming back; it’s the way they feel the moment they walk through the door.
