Quilt Shop Visit List 2014-2019

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!

Transparent Squares Quilt Block Tutorial

If you are new to transparency in quilting or need a refresher, this is a simple practice block to make to play around with fabric choices and the effects of transparency. Transparent Squares Quilt Block I posted a video on IGTV that explains the very basics of transparency in quilting. A short simplified version of what I shared is that transparency is the ability to see through layer(s) of an object. It can be real or implied. So in quilting, you can use fabric color choices to make implied transparency. The most basic way to achieve transparency, in my opinion, is to choose dark, medium and light values of one color. Understanding color structure is important, but being a master of it is not required to play around with transparency. For example, if a grey fabric has a lot of cool color blue undertones, then you have to be cognizant of how that specific fabric color plays with other colors. Also, it’s important to realize that while many colors are available in fabrics, it’s...

Quilted Bookmark Tutorial

I’ve got a new tutorial to share – Quilted Bookmarks !  I recently shared a story on Instagram about a last minute decision to make quilted bookmarks for my daughter’s class as I was the scheduled Mystery Reader for the next day. You can see the set I made for the class in the image above. I’ve been making quilted bookmarks for my daughter for years. She loves them because they’re flexible and don’t permanently crease or break like paper bookmarks and don’t fall out as easy as heavier metal bookmarks. And since they are two layers and batting, they’re squishy and fun to hold!  Quilted bookmarks make great gifts for kids or for adults who still read physical copies of books. If you’re looking for a creative stocking stuffer or gift to give any time of the year, a quilted bookmark is a fun and fast project! It's also a great scrap-busting project, as well as a good opportunity to practice quilting!  Everything about a quilted bookmark can be customized to your needs. This i...

2024 Sewing Goals

With a new year on the horizon (like less than 10 hours as I sit here at my computer), I wanted to share a few sewing goals - this will serve as a reminder and accountability for me when I ponder what to work on next. I suppose I already know that posting more often on my blog should be a goal since this is my first post of 2023. Life has been busy - in a really good way. That hasn’t been totally the case the last few years so I’ll take it and use it as momentum to build a healthy 2024.  My last project of 2023 - I made a couple new quilted bookmarks for my bookworm dragon-loving daughter. Start Fabric Usage Tracking I definitely feel like it’s time to have a more accurate picture of how much fabric I’m using vs. buying. I have more fabric than I can possibly sew, so starting a more mindful practice is important. I will purchase fabric when either: a) it’s truly something I know I’ll use sooner rather than never (I’m looking at you, Postmark by Alison Glass!) and b) I’m actively wo...
