I recently visited Alma Sue's Quilt Shop for the second time. Both times I've been here, I have…read morebeen so impressed with everything I saw. First off, you don't have to be into quilting or in the market to buy a quilt to shop here. While their selection of quilts and quilt tops is impressive, they also carry handmade totes, bibs, clothing and a glorious selection of fabric and sewing accessories. Visits here always give me new ideas (since I do love to sew and am an avid quilter). The fabrics here are varied and of excellent quality. Prices are very reasonable and service was attentive and helpful. You won't see any long arm sewing machines here. Quilts and other items are sewn by hand - make sure you stop and watch the current quilt laid out on a rack as it is meticulously stitched. Really take a good look at the fabrics they have to offer, for many designs and prints were stunning and in patterns I've never seen before. Many fat quarters priced at $3.25 each (some in a bundle of 9 or 10 at a price of $27). While I made no purchase during my first visit, this time I couldn't resist. Beautiful things to see and buy here. Probably one of the nicest quilt shops I have ever been to.
