Welcome to Sew-Into-Quilts & Sew-Fix-It!
Being in a small community we want to provide a place of creative encouragement by carrying as wide of variety of fabrics, notions and classes as we can. Your growth and enjoyment of quilting and the friendships created and nurtured in our shop is of the greatest importance to us. We are quilters who want to share our love of this timeless art with those both who live near us, those who visit our site and our on-line store. With "in shop" sewing machine services, you can rest assured that Jim will care for your machine with great attention to detail. He and Casey are also trained and use our Wollf Twice as Nice Sharpening system to sharpen Scissors, Shears and Pinking Shears at a reasonable price everyday we are open.
