It is also the heart of a community: every week people of all ages come to sew, learn and chat — from total beginners to seasoned quilters. Visitors from all over the world are welcome, and we happily host tour groups.

Great ideas! Looking forward to learning new techniques, drooling over fabrics and making new friends.
Great people, great fabrics, fair prices and a wealth of experience. Always leave inspired.
