The Cotton Cupboard Quilt Shop Named BERNINA District Dealer of the Year

The Cotton Cupboard Quilt Shop, an authorized BERNINA Dealer based in Bangor, Maine, has been named District Dealer of the Year for 2025. The award was presented on June 28, 2026, at BERNINA University, the company's annual conference, held this year in New Orleans.

The honor recognizes The Cotton Cupboard Quilt Shop as the leading dealer in District D, which spans the Northeastern United States and comprises 50 dealers. The award is given annually to dealers whose performance and commitment to their customers stood out over the past year.

Owners Evelyn Caruso and Lori-Ann Knowles stated that the award belongs as much to their customers as it does to them. They noted the support from "the sewing and quilting community here in Bangor at every turn."
