Some say quilting is one of the most relaxing, yet rewarding, pastimes that exists. Maybe it's the creativity that goes into planning your pattern or the excitement of finishing your piece and gifting it to friends. Whatever your motivation and whether you're a beginner or already selling your creations to others, you'll want to visit this impressive quilt shop in New Hampshire.
Keepsake Quilting has become a household name in the quilting community across the nation.
But it didn't start out as a store! It began as a catalog created in 1986 by Judy and Russ Sabanek. It was met with so much excitement that the store was created in Center Harbor the very next year.
It was owned and run by the Sabanek family until 2000. In 2018, the store was purchased by the North Carolina-based Kimelman family and all operations run out of New Hampshire.
The store is vast offering everything from fabrics to notions to tools of the trade.
And, unlike other very large stores, it's quite easy to navigate.
What people love most about the shop are the friendly faces who have become stalwarts of the quilting community here, offering guidance, advice and helpful tips.
Workshops run throughout the year, making this a great place for crafters of all skill and experience levels.
And the sales! You'll know when Keepsake is having a sale by the line of folks outside waiting to get in!
While the products and sales team here are incredible, it's also important to note that you can truly expand your craftsmanship here as well. Keepsake offers a longarm machine rental certification course. After passing, you can reserve the machine for your most complex quilting projects.
Whether you love traditional quilts or are interested in more modern adaptations of the craft, Keepsake Quilting is an incredible resource that New Hampshirites are lucky to have in their backyard.
Keepsake Quilting is located at 12 Main St. in Center Harbor, New Hampshire. They're open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. They're close on the weekend, so you'll need to spend those days quilting. You can visit them online or check them out on Facebook. For specific questions, give them a call on 603-253-4026.
