Community Update August 1

Welcome to The Quilt Store Community Update!

Someone once told me August is "a month of Sundays," a month of things to come, a month of anticipating the days ahead. The Quilt Store is no exception. We are anticipating a lot and we can't wait to bring you along on our quilting journey! 

Kids are anxious to go back to school and so are our quilters! The Quilt Store's School House Open House is August 23rd, be sure to come learn something new and join in the fun! 

We are also anticipating some awesome Block of The Month projects which will be kicking off this fall, including "Flower Box Friends" and "2025-26 2nd Saturday Mystery Skill Builder" .... and... hold your breath... because we also have "Alaska" and "Gravity" joining the line up, too! More to come on both of those.   

Rest. Enjoy your month of Sundays, and look forward with us to all of the exciting things we have in store.  We'll see you soon, at The Quilt Store! 


2025-2026 2nd Saturday Mystery Skill Builder "Choose Your Own Adventure" is open for sign ups! 

Our 4th Annual Mystery BOM is beginning again soon! Dawna, the owner of The Quilt Store, and her Mom "Mama Fran," owner of Village Dry Goods in UT, design a fabulous mystery sampler quilt each year, exclusive to the two shops. This is an opportunity to not only complete a beautiful surprise, but to grow as a quilter and learn new tools and techniques, which are presented each month at The Quilt Store from October to June. This program is very popular and sold out last year, so don't wait to reserve your spot too!
