One the most awesome memories of the past 25 years Davis recalls is when the Pickett Fence was chosen to be in the 2019 Spring edition of the Quilt Sampler magazine as a Top Ten Shop. “It had been a dream that I had and it became a reality. I could not believe it when they called us,” reminisces Davis.
