About us 

How it began..........    I had flirted briefly with patchwork when I lived in Dublin in the 90's, and after moving to Athboy, enrolled in Boyne Community Schools evening class programme.    After a few short classes with Christina Donoghue I was hooked.  Her patience and skill as a teacher ensured that I, along with many others in the locality, was converted and year after year we re-enrolled.  As we became more confident, we embarked on larger projects and this was when the lack of fabrics became apparent - it was Hickeys or UK/USA.    The idea of an online shop was born - low risk, no premises required and no outlay other than stock.   So was born "Just Cotton" - the name being a response to all the calls I got looking for curtain fabrics, polycotton, polyester etc -"Sorry - I sell just cotton!".      After only 12 months online, I noticed that while online sales were healthy, most customers that lived close enough to call, did so - which prompted me to investigate the idea of a real shop.

 

This opened in 2007, and busines slowly grew so that even it became to small, prompting an extension after only 2 years.  

 

As I only began trading in April 2006, I'm still trying different sources for patchwork and quilting supplies and will be constantly searching for vibrant, unusual and  colourful fabrics to offer to you,  provided they are of suitable quality.  I stock the best in new American and European designs, along with specially chosen co-ordinated bundles and my speciality is plain colours - I usually have 60-80 different shades in stock, with about 50 "marbled" shades.   

 

As suitable fabric is so difficult to source, I aim to enable you to keep your stash fully stocked and as we source more suitable suppliers, our range will grow by the month. 

 

So please call in regularly - I look forward to meeting you.
