Prairie Flower Quilt Co opens in former deli space
Five local women led by Sharla Krenzel converted the former deli at 102 S Indian Road into Prairie Flower Quilt Co LLC. The store opened New Year’s Day offering quilting fabrics, notions, patterns, books, classes, and custom machine quilting with Baby Lock dealer status. They formed an LLC after planning with local lenders and SBDC support, remodeling three months, and planning a grand opening for Jan 31–Feb 1. The shop serves southwest Kansas customers within about 60 miles, hosting monthly Block-A-Month, Breakfast Club, and PIGS classes, and welcomes quilters from nearby towns seeking to keep shopping local.
