If you've been around Maeberry Square awhile, you may have heard me talk about my fascination (of course!) with local quilt stores. I LOVE visiting them when I'm traveling to a new town. I have kept a list since late 2014 of the stores I've visited and thought I'd share my updated list.
The joy and excitement for me in visiting a store is meeting the people. I could rattle off stories about almost every one of these stores. Most I have only visited once. And again, of course, I've bought "souvenirs" (read: alllllll the fabric) from each of them too. The list is sorted by state (with a number count, 66 total stores visited) and alphabetically by store name. There are a handful of stores that have since closed, but I believe the vast majority are still around today and worth a visit.
Interestingly, I never really think to take pictures when I visit, so all I could find is the image in this post, which was the first time I visited Missouri Star Quilt Company.
Tell me 1) if you've visited any of these stores and 2) share a store you think I need to visit! My goal is to get to 100 stores...and then eventually a store per state!
