About
Sew Squared is a Veteran and family owned quilt shop in the heart of Tipton County TN. Sheri Hudson is the principal owner and is assisted in the business by husband, Billy (shop handyman) and mother-in-law Sherry Hudson, and on occasion her father-in-law and sister-in-law. Yes, you read that right, there are 2 of us, and Billy is a junior. So, as you can imagine things can get a little confusing around here at times. We wouldn't have it any other way. The Hudson family was inspired to open a quilt shop in our adopted home county about 8 years ago as we were seeing so many local quilt shops closing and the owners retiring. After finding the perfect location and creating our quilting home, we opened for business on Dec.1, 2021.
We often get asked where we got our shop name. The simple answer is because there are 2 of us. Momma Sherry (as she is affectionately called by friends and customers) and Sheri share a love of crafting, especially quilting. Since we share a common name, but different spellings, naming the shop after us just wouldn't work, despite most everyone calling us "the Sherrys". We knew we wanted a name to reflect what the shop is and who we are. We kept coming back to the fact that we were unique in sharing our name, and the same passion for quilting. "The Sherrys" became Two Sheris which morphed into S2. Then it hit! S2 - is really S squared (Sheri squared) and that idea became Sew Squared, and that is why, if you look closely at our logo, you will see a number 2 in it.
Sheri is a life long crafter, Navy veteran, retired Biology professor, mother and Gram to 3 little boys. On any given day, you may find her knitting a scarf, working on a cross stitch pattern, crocheting or sitting at her design table working on a new quilt pattern. She got her start sewing at age 5 when her Gram stuck a needle and thread in her hand, telling her that all proper young ladies should know how to sew. At 7, she hand stitched her first "Crazy quilt" block for Pioneer days at her elementary school. Momma Sherry taught Sheri the fundamentals of quilting in the mid 90's, and she has been quilting ever since. Sheri's passion lies in the creative process of designing new quilts and writing patterns, several of which are for sale in the shop under the Sheri's Originals brand. Sheri loves to share her knowledge of color, color placement, fabric choice and design with quilters of all skill levels. It is one of her great joys to teach and share her craft with others. She is the primary quilt instructor at Sew Squared. When she is not busy designing or sewing, you can find Sheri wandering her 92 acre farm and tending to her animals.
Momma Sherry, is a retired mom, grandmother and great grandmother. She has had many varied jobs in life while traveling attached to the Air Force with her husband. She is the quiet face behind the scenes at Sew Squared. She is always present and willing to lend a hand to novice and experienced quilters alike. On any given morning, you'll find her browsing the shop, or sitting in the classroom working with our Sew - n- sews. She has well over 4 decades of experience quilting and is always ready with a kind word, or piece of advice. She prefers to stay in the background, letting Sheri be the voice and face of the shop, although she is an active participant in fabric selection. Sherry has been known to hand quilt smaller projects. She finds hand sewing traditional binding to be a good way to relax, especially on cold winter nights. Combined, Sheri and Sherry have close to 80 years experience quilting. Their expertise is evident in every aspect of the shop from fabric and pattern choices, to shop design, layout and classes.
