Testimonials

  • "I love this quilt store! They always have new, fresh, fabric! I travel over an hour to get there, and it's worth it every time. They have a lot of their fabric bundled with a pattern and pre-cut fat quarters. Most bolts are $11.99 a yard, for premium fabric. Customer service was very friendly!"

  • "Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Great notion and fabric selection ranging from batiks, to baby, Tula Pink, solids, and modern trends. The shop is on the corner of a cute downtown street with parking around the corner. My favorite quilt shop I have been to in the greater Chicagoland area. Wish I was closer to participate in classes here. If you're shop hopping, make sure you add this to your list as a must!"

  • Thimbles! What a lovely shop you have. I was so inspired by it. I can't believe I bought another Bernina while there. I enjoyed it so much making a wall hanging for my neighbor. You helped me with the border colors and my neighbor cried upon receipt of it. Thanks so much for your friendly and helpful staff. Can't wait to come visit my daughter again so I can stop in. Thanks again.
