When you walk into a home adorned with handmade quilts, colorful tortilla warmers, and cozy bowl holders, you can feel the love stitched into every corner. For Courtney Malone, the creator behind Kingdom Wares, sewing isn’t just a skill—it’s a lifelong passion passed down from her great-grandmother.
Courtney started sewing at the age of nine, learning the art on an old treadle machine powered by foot. That early experience sparked a deep love for textiles and craftsmanship, eventually leading her to launch her own handmade goods business in 2015. While Kingdom Wares began as a side project, it blossomed into a full-time venture in the last two years. Based in Pueblo, Colorado, Courtney now ships her cozy, one-of-a-kind pieces to homes across the United States.
Her product line includes bowl cozies, tortilla warmers, memory quilts, baby quilts, wallets, and even custom-ordered items. While she doesn’t stock t-shirts on hand, her original designs are printed through a partner company and shipped directly to customers. Every piece Courtney offers combines functionality and warmth—perfect for those who appreciate handmade comfort.
Beyond the beauty of her work lies a heart-centered business ethic. Courtney proudly emphasizes her inclusive values: Kingdom Wares is a business for everyone, where all customers are treated with kindness and respect. The only limitation she draws is a clear one—no printing of nudity or content that doesn’t align with her family values.
Kingdom Wares isn’t just about handcrafted goods; it’s also about giving back. Courtney previously volunteered at a local food pantry and stays active in her local small business community. She frequently collaborates with Pueblo’s Small Business Association, attending and supporting their events. It’s this sense of togetherness that makes Pueblo special to her.
“The small business community here really sticks together,” she says. “Everyone is so willing to lift each other up.”
Running a business solo is no small feat, but Courtney is navigating it with intention and grace. She’s seeing steady growth, particularly in custom orders like baby quilts, and she’s thrilled that her name is spreading through word of mouth. With thoughtful pricing and ongoing promotions—like her popular buy-one-get-one deals on bowl cozies and neck wraps—Courtney makes it easy for customers to support her work.
For first-time shoppers, there’s even more incentive: a 10% discount is available through her newsletter, which she runs through Square. The platform’s support for small businesses has helped her expand her outreach efforts without added cost.
When she’s not stitching up new products, Courtney enjoys dabbling in jewelry making, embroidery, and other craft-focused hobbies. Her creativity never rests, and she constantly finds new ways to infuse personality into her products.
From humble beginnings at a treadle sewing machine to running her own thriving online shop, Courtney Malone is a shining example of what passion and perseverance can build. Kingdom Wares continues to bring charm, warmth, and handmade joy into households across the nation.
