About

 

 

All About Quilts dedicates itself to providing service for all aspects of quilt making. The shop, which has been in business for more than 31 years, offers the finest cotton fabrics, top quality notions and the latest books and patterns. Each member of the staff has considerable quilt making experience. Consequently, we can help a customer choose the right fabric and pattern for a first quilt or help the more experienced quilter who has a technique question. We offer classes for all levels and interests.


Our shop features over 1000 bolts of high quality fabrics and new shipments arrive every few days. We are proud that our many samples inspire quilters to start a new project whether it is a large quilt, a tablerunner or placemats to give as a gift, a designer bag or a unique pillowcase. Our longarm quilting business enjoys a respected reputation in the area.

 

 

Margie Murphy

Margie has been an avid quilter for more than 20 years. Margie prefers to make quilts with bright colors but she collects antique quilts as well.  She is one of two teachers of our popular Beginner and Continuing Quilting class on Tuesday morning and evening.   Margie looks after all of the financial and banking needs for the shop.  Friday is "Marge in charge" day if you need her.

 

Judy Murray

No one could count how many quilts Judy has made in her 15+ years as a quilter.   She has made many quilts for her immeditae and extended family.  Judy has a keen eye for the classic quilts and many quilters recreate her samples. Judy has the daunting task of ordering all of our books, patterns, notions and batting.  Judy works all day Tuesday and handles the very busy Tuesday morning crowd with ease and grace.

 

Marilyn Quinn

Marilyn creates all of the shop’s displays and fabric arrangements. Her eye for detail and decorating showcases our samples and collections. She blends our samples with appropriate accessories to highlight a motif or season.  Marilyn keeps track of all of our fabric orders from many vendors.  She approaches 20 years as a devoted quilter, sewing  with painstaking detail and the results speak for themselves.  Although the calendar says that Marilyn works on Monday, she is at the shop almost every day.  This helps staff, students and customers.

 

Margaret Ransom

Margaret often tells customers that she came into the shop 30 years ago to make a baby quilt and she is still here. She enjoys teaching beginners and always hopes that her enthusiasm for quilting transfers to the students. Margaret makes quite a few of the samples for the shop and sends out the newsletter.  Generally speaking, Margaret works Wednesdays.
