In 1983 Greg and Peggy Chambers moved
to Texas to follow their dreams of working and training cutting
horses. Greg managed to land a job working with Lynn Strickland
and he and his family became part of the Chambers family. With her
2 year old daughter Stacy and new baby boy Scott, Peggy soon leaned
that paying for a sitter and trying to work to pay the sitter was
not constructive. Lynn's wife Sandra needed someone to help her
with weaving saddle blankets, a hobby Sandra had recently picked
up to pass the time while the men were at the barn. Peggy picked
up the weaving knack quickly and was able to bring her babies with
her. Soon, Sandra moved on to another hobby and sold two Cranbrook
looms to Greg and Peggy for a good price!Peggy made up a slue of
saddle blankets and with babies in tow traveled the greater Weatherford
region trying to sell her products. As fate would have it two reliable
saddle makers gave her a chance. Calvin Allen Saddlery and McLelland's
Saddlery were the first of Quarter Circle C customers and are still
part of the family today!
With the fall of the oil wells in Texas Greg and
Peggy decided to move back to Arizona near family and find more
reliable work for Greg. After pursuing a career with Stone Company
in Phoenix and the kids starting school Greg and Peggy decided to
make a go out of completely relying on the blanket business and
moving to the more kid friendly White Mountains of Arizona. Greg
learned to weave and eventually they bought and ran 6 looms becoming
the most successful saddle blanket manufacturer in the United States.
So here we are today 27 years later and Stacy (now
married with her own two little angels) has grown up with the company
her entire life and has pursed the endeavor of running Quarter Circle
C. Peggy says she saw it coming when Stacy at age 15 had to train
mom to do the accounting on the computer instead of wasting all
that time hand writing out invoices!
"I never thought I would want to run the business,
after all, it was all I got to do growing up. My chores after school
were, rolling shuttles and vacuuming under looms. This business
has taken me to High School Rodeos, Weekend cuttings, and anything
else I wanted to do or have. I am so lucky that I can continue on
with the family tradition and give my kids the life my parents gave
me!" |
