Hidden gem alert!…read more My pilgrimage to "Not Your Average Quilter" started with a recommendation from a quilting friend's husband (thank you, Ken N!). I added it to my mental rolodex, bookmarked it on Yelp, and made a note to go visit. Then I heard one of my favorite quilters (the Quilting Cowboy) was shipping a new line - and the only place close to me that had it was NYAQ! I reached out to them via FB messenger and learned that they had 3 bolts of the new "Leaf" line - and then I convinced the hubs to take a road trip with me. Thank GOODNESS for pictures on Yelp, as the map directions had us WAY out of the way. I spotted the "Art Ovation" sign, pointed, and yelled, "There it is!" as we passed it. Hubs pulled a turn around, and we were there. Parking is in the back and we entered at the front in to a little spot noting "Quilt Shop Gifts". We were greeted by THE NICEST lady behind a little counter, and it was obvious that this was the place for locals to be. It was like Cheers for quilters. Others from out of town or out of state entered while we were there, too! SO fun! Back to my quest. So when we asked about the Leaf line, the lovely lady helper walked us to the back to get help from the owner. Let me tell you - Michael was awesome in every sense of the word. Not only was he running things in the back (making color guard flags/uniforms, cutting fabrics), but he also MADE all of the beautiful art quilts that adorn the walls! I was floored to learn he quilted them all on his small domestic machine (he showed us!). WOW. We chatted Michael up a little bit - trying not to distract him from the very busy happenings in the back of the store. Long story short, I am in love with Michael and this business and will come back to support him as much as my quilting budget will allow. For the modern quilters, he carries Tula and Kaffe in yardage and pre-cuts, and the variety of other fabrics is noteworthy. The notions and quilting themed "gifts" were SO fun and I wanted all of the things. Pro tip - if you tell them you will return, they might just give you a reusable bag that you can bring back with you for 10% off your next purchase... just save some Tula for me!

Another place I found while traveling through Indiana, what a fabulous quilt shop in the middle of…read morethe country fields. I love the fact that it's full of different quilting fabrics, not just items that are everywhere. If you are in the area, it's definitely worth checking out the shop. The staff answered any questions we had and even showed us some of their works in progress!

OhMyGarsh how have I NOT reviewed my happy place yet? Let's remedy that!…read more Full disclosure, I taught myself to quilt at the start of the pandemic and having a degree in memory piece quilting from YouTubeUniversity is where I got my humble start. I then branched out and dipped my toe in to the vast quilting world and quickly discovered my love of bright colors, modern fabrics, fun patterns, quilt kits, and notions...and Crimson Tate has ALL of these things - and MORE! To say it is like my own personal Disney World would be an understatement - and if you get to see the Crimson Tate mascot (Heather herself) during your visit, your dreams DO indeed come true! Granted, the rest of the staff at Crimson Tate is ALSO amazing and lovely and a perfect kind of special so you are in for a treat regardless. But back to my review. Some may say the space is small - I say it is perfectly cozy with SO much goodness packed in to every corner. Pre-curated bundles and kits to take the guess work out? You betcha! Yardage on bolts? GOT 'EM! Fat Quarters in suitcases? CUTE! Scraps in bags tucked away in the corner armoire? YES! Needlepoint? THAT TOO! Tula, Charley Harper, Anna Maria, Ruby Star, Kaffe, even up-and-coming cool designers - allll the good stuff can be found here. Can't find what you need? Ask the staff! They are more than happy to help and they have given me amazing suggestions on several occasions. They even put up with me when I need a random CT hit and go in to just browse. Located on Mass Ave just across from Bottleworks / The Garage - you can find street parking out front or in the parking garage catty-corner from Crimson Tate. Go visit! Tell them I sent ya!

I do not know how to sew very well but my daughter wanted hand made napkins for a gift. The staff…read morewas super helpful and patient and made me feel like I could sew anything!
