“Five Stars for Mary in the Davenport Frame Department!

I cannot say enough good things about Hobby Lobby in Davenport, IA, and specifically Mary in the custom framing department. Over the course of several visits, Mary helped us reframe a cherished family heirloom—my father-in-law’s watercolor painting that had suffered mold damage to its mats and backer boards.

From start to finish, Mary was remarkably patient, kind, and deeply thoughtful. Reframing this piece was no small feat, especially given the extra challenge of working with an existing metal frame, and a time crunch, because I planned to transport the painting out of the US with me. Mary’s expertise and skill guided us every step of the way. She cut new mats for us multiple times—including after an unfortunate mishap where I accidentally cut myself on the frame glass and got blood on one of the freshly cut mats! Throughout it all, she was so gracious, compassionate, and reassuring to both me and my teenager.

Thanks to Mary, the final piece turned out even better than the original matting and framing (the photo attached does not do it justice because of the camera glare). She transformed a very stressful situation into a wonderful experience, and we are so grateful for her care and dedication to preserving our family piece. If you ever need custom framing done right, go see Mary at Hobby Lobby.”

“Wanted some posterboards for a Super Bowl Party to do squares on. They could not print on a large posterboard but the were able to print something just as good on a 12" by 18" heavy stock paper that was great and will for sure work and it only cost like $7 for 4 boards with the printed graphic. Last year I spent more than that on just the posterboard and had to draw my own lines which took like 2 hours to get right. All I had to do was find an image online for the board and they printed it in less than 30 minutes. Great and friendly service and will for sure be back for the next Super Bowl.”
