| Bob Steinberg's Fabric Emporium: Established 1967 in West Hollywood |
 |
In 1967 Bob established Bob Steinberg's Fabric Emporium in West Hollywood on Melrose Avenue, where Suzan worked and played as a child.
This store was a major change in how fabric was sold on the retail level. It was one of the first natural fiber fabric stores with rooms of imported fabrics from all over the world, including calicos, paisleys and one of the finest collections of prints from India and Africa. |

| Stonemountain Fabrics: Established 1976 in Pacific Grove & Watsonville |
| In 1976 Bob moved his family to Pacific Grove on the Monterey Peninsula and opened up Stonemountain Fabrics (Stonemountain is the translation of Steinberg). This was a small, wonderful store where Bob sold the fabrics he purchased from a long-time connection in the apparel industry in Los Angeles. Fabric lovers from all over were very happy to find these garment industry fabrics at great prices. |

| Stonemountain & Daughter Fabrics: 1981 - Present in Downtown Berkeley |
 |
In 1981 Bob moved the Store to Berkeley,
where his oldest daughter Suzan was finishing up at UC Berkeley. Thus
Stonemountain & Daughter was born! Three Expansions and twenty five
years later, the store has grown into a top fabric and sewing center in
Berkeley. It is fun to explore the two floors and three rooms full of
ideas and projects waiting to happen! |
