Welcome to the Quilt Minnesota Shop Hop

We are looking forward to seeing everyone during the Quilt Minnesota Shop Hop. Cathy Guy has outdone herself this year with a wonderful quilt made from this years fabric. Patterns will be available as well as a limited number of kits. We also have some small projects available including a tablerunner and a checkerboard! If the Minnesota fabrics and projects aren't enough to tempt you just wait until you see the new Westminster fabrics that are now in stock. We have some fabulous Kaffe Fassestt, Philip Jacobs and Brandon Mably fabrics. Be sure and stop by during the shop hop and pick up your free block pattern and 5" square of the Minnesota fabric. Happy Hopping, Mary

New Look

We've made a few changes at the Sampler. We have designed a space especially for the next generation of sewers/quilters. This space is full of fun fabrics, terrific ideas, books and much more. We have also included the best Bernina sewing machines for the beginning sewer.
You are now greeted by a wonderful display of new quilts and fabrics. Take a look at all that color. The quilt you see is made from a gradated fabric and black fabric. It is really something to see. We have also started to put together a machine embroidery area. The thread has been moved and soon all the other essentials for embroidery will be together. In the midst of these changes the quilt shop goes on as usual. New fabrics, books, patterns and notions keep coming in. We are gearing up for Quilt Minnesota which starts July 31st. I think you will love the projects and quilts we have put together with the Quilt Minnesota fabric. Be sure and come in to see our new look and shop the new fabrics and ideas.
