Wow! We're fast approaching our 2 Year anniversary, and the shop offerings continue to evolve and improve! We carry full lines from Lake House, Robert Kaufmann, Hoffman, Moda, P&B, Westminster, Wilmington, Henry Glass, Benartex, Michael Miller, Timeless Treasures, Blank, Studio E and Northcott print fabrics.
But our hearts lie with batiks and at The Quilting Nook you’ll find one of the largest collections of batik fabrics (over 450 bolts) in the area. We carry batiks from Robert Kaufmann, Hoffman, Moda, Batik Textiles, South Seas Importers, Island Batiks, Timeless Treasures, Java Batiks, Avlyn and Benartex.
In addition to fabrics, we carry many of the tools that you’ve been accustomed to using. If we don’t have it — we’ll be happy to special order your request, and it typically arrives in about one week, assuming it is in stock at the distributors. If we find it has been back-ordered, we will call to keep you informed.
We carry many of the specialized rulers necessary to make today's exciting quilts.
Our book and pattern section of the store continues to grow. Stop in to see what new books and patterns have just hit the market, in addition to the long standing patterns we all love.
Classes have been well attended and are filling quickly for the upcoming months. Be sure to enroll in classes early to reserve a spot! We are delighted with the number of returning students who have taken more than one class with us and are becoming regulars around the shop. It’s so much fun seeing new and old friends visiting us for inspiration and sharing our common love for the art of quilting.
If you have an idea for a class you’d like to see on our calendar, let us know and we’ll try to fit it in next quarter’s calendar. We want to fulfill your needs and encourage your exploration into the different patterns and techniques of quilting. And to that end, we have added new teachers to our roster to give you new ways to approach your projects. Kim continues to teach and we have added Joanne Leonard, Jennifer Charles, and Debbie Rieck to our teaching staff.
The Quilting Nook is proud to have Edna Drakeford as our long arm machine quilter. She does beautiful work and is interested in enhancing your pieced tops with her quilting skills. We have been extremely pleased with the added attention she gives to centering backs and the beauty of her designs. Edna specializes in all over patterns and has about 10 day turnaround. You may see her work hanging in the shop.
