What Is L&R Longarm?

L&R Longarm is a veteran-owned, local small business in Victoria, Texas, founded by Laurie Dickson and Robin Dickson in 2019, following their retirement.

The pair specializes in crafting high-quality quilted products, ranging from quilts and table runners to placemats and pet beds.

Laurie and Robin

Laurie, with her roots deep in Texan soil, spent her early years on a farm, instilling in her a strong work ethic and a compassionate nature. Robin, a Montana native, brings a sense of adventure and resilience that complements Laurie's nurturing spirit.

Laurie's nursing career spanned 40 years, during which she touched countless lives and became a source of comfort and care for those in need. Meanwhile, Robin's bravery and commitment to service began with military duty in the Navy as a young man and persisted as a volunteer firefighter after retirement.

Laurie and Robin also have a long-standing passion for rescuing and helping animals—a mission they've pursued for years. They currently provide a loving home to six rescued dogs and a host of feline friends, and they’ve both dedicated time to volunteer work at a local veterinarian clinic.

Together, Laurie and Robin have spent their lives weaving a thread of care and commitment to the well-being of both people and animals, embodying the belief that every footprint and pawprint matters.
