About Whistlestop Makers Market
My Story
As a child, I would often come home to the comforting sound of my mother sewing at the kitchen table. Those memories sparked a lifelong passion in me—for sewing, crocheting, and the joy of creating with my hands.
Today, I’m proud to carry that love forward as the owner of Whistlestop Makers Market, a family-owned shop nestled in the picturesque countryside of Goochland, Virginia. Together with my mother, we’ve poured our hearts into creating a space that brings creativity and inspiration to our community.
We’ve carefully curated a warm and welcoming shop filled with handpicked items to spark your next project—quilt fabrics, yarn, silk flowers, ribbon, and unique handmade quilts and gifts. With over 40 years of combined sewing experience, we’re here to share our knowledge, support your creativity, and offer you personalized, one-on-one service that feels like home.
We invite you to stop by, find your inspiration, and become part of our maker community.
With warmest regards,
Jennifer Vazales
Owner, Whistlestop Makers Market
