Fabric Café was founded as a result of mother daughter team, Donna Robertson, and Fran Morgan, having a desire to start a business together.  They discussed several ideas before Fran, an avid fiber artist, began designing in stacked fabric chenille. She introduced Donna to this method of making chenille and Donna began experimenting with the process, all the while thinking there had to be an easier way.  As they discussed the problems and explored solutions, they created a way to take the work and frustration out of making stacked fabric chenille.

Fran, and Donna, obtained the assistance of Robert Scacci, an engineer (and Donna's fiancée), to work out the problems of production and their first product, Chenille By The Inch®   was born.

Fabric Café opened its doors in January 2001. Chenille By The Inch®   was introduced at A Nimble Thimble, a sewing and quilting shop in Tyler, Texas on March 16, 2001, and received rave reviews from sewing enthusiasts.

Chenille By The Inch®  offers fiber artists a super-easy way to get the look and feel of old-fashioned chenille without the work!

You can find Fabric Café products in over1500 stores in the United States and worldwide, and the numbers are increasing weekly.
