Quilting Department
Quilt crafts are for more than dressing your bed! Today, quilting is used for home décor, clothing and much more.
Our Quilting department will show you the basics and teach you piecing techniques. You’ll find tips and hints, quilt blocks, free projects and even a quilt shop finder to help you find your local quilting store. And for the more-advanced quilter, you’ll find information on the foundation or paper piecing technique of quilting.
Shopping online for your quilting supplies is easy and convenient through our online store.
