As a quilter of 23 years, and with 11 years of banking background, I knew someday I wanted to own my own business. My vision began about 12 years ago when I cut a house plan out of Country living magazine, knowing that this was what I wanted my quilt shop to look like. Two years later after writing a 30-page business plan, obtaining the funding I needed, and getting all the permits I needed, the construction of my quilt shop began. The land my shop is located on has been in my husband’s family since it was granted by King George in the 1600’s and had been passed down to us. Yes, I am very blessed. Seen to fruition as a woman’s small business with a specific plan for success, it has been described as a “gem in the woods.”

The beautiful Cape Cod style shop is nestled approximately two hundred and fifty feet off of Route One in Cape Neddick, Maine, just six miles off Interstate – 95. Parking is plentiful for bus tours and quilt guilds alike. We are handicapped accessible. As you open the door, a very cozy and inviting atmosphere exists, attracting visitors from abroad who are on bus tours along with local clientele and vacationers from around the United States.
