Nobody is entirely certain where or when quilting began. Some say it was ancient Egypt, while others say it started in Europe or Asia. What is known is that the act of piecing and adding appliques has been happening for centuries. And its no wonder! Quilting is one of the most relaxing and calming crafts that we have and there are a lot of ways to do it. Whether you’re a professional or just starting out, you’ll find everything you need at this store.
Welcome to your one-stop-shop for quilting enthusiasts! Located in Center Harbor, Keepsake Quilting has everything you need under one beautiful roof.
The store is now a household name, but it didn't start out with a physical location. The store's roots are in the original catalog which was launched in 1986 by Judy and Russ Sabanek. The response was so huge, the very next year the store opened its doors and it's been thriving ever since.
Anyone who's starting out in quilting knows that one of the most daunting things can be getting everything you need. It can feel like every time you take on a new project, there's something you've forgotten to have on-hand.
People love coming here not just for what's on their shelves, but also for the incredible teaching. There's always a smiling face to help answer questions.
And there are workshops running throughout the year. If you're just a beginner or trying to perfect a hard-to-grasp skill there's likely a day to show up and learn more.
In addition to workshops, the store also offers a longarm machine for rental. All you need to do is take their certification course and you'll have access to it for some of your more difficult projects.
While stopping in to see what's new is a great idea, one of the most popular events all year is the sidewalk-sale. Things go quickly, so you'll want to be there early!
If you're not yet a quilter, but want to learn this is the shop for you. There are a lot of modern ways to get into the craft and there's always someone here to help.
Keepsake Quilting is open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can learn more about them (including what they have on clearance!) by checking out their website. Or, visit them on Facebook. You can reach them on 603-253-4026.
Quilting often goes hand-in-hand with the love of all things fiber. If you agree check out the this alpaca farm for a fun family day trip. It will allow you to learn more about Alpacas and buy all sorts of fibers that come from these adorable animals.
