Seasonal

Quilting for Christmas? Just a reminder to think about those projects early…..our favorite quilters are going to get super busy. And if you need fabric, we’ve still got it. Flannels, regular cottons, lots of fun stuff.

Flannel layer cakes are a great start for rag quilts. We have the Cardinal Reflections and Cozy Cottage flannel layer cakes in stock.

Sew Steady Tables make a great present for yourself or other sewers. Call us at Main Street Quilting to order. We will contact Sew Steady and can have them mail the table directly to you!
