Diane Wilson is the proprietor of People Places & Quilts, a quilting store with locations in Summerville and Charleston.  The stores offer quilting fabrics and supplies, as well as classes and quilt-planning assistance. The Summerville store had been in operation for nine years when Ms. Wilson decided to open another branch in downtown Charleston in 1999.  This decision was made in large part to accommodate the significant number of Charleston vacationers who made the 20-mile side trip to Summerville for the sole purpose of visiting the store.  The downtown location is within easy walking distance from many of Charleston’s attractions, such as the Historic Market, the Visitor's Center, and the King Street shopping district.  The LDC was able to assist Ms. Wilson in opening the second location of People Places & Quilts with an SBILP loan in 1999.
