‘Shop Our Stash’ at the Quilt Museum
Re-Opens July 10th

Join us for the re-opening of the ‘Shop Our Stash’ (SOS) at the Quilt Museum on July 10th!

Beginning July 10th, the SOS at the Quilt Museum is open weekly Friday & Saturday from 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM in the NEW shop in the lower level of the Farmhouse, located adjacent to the Museum.

The re-opened SOS at the Quilt Museum offers the same amazing deals on fabric, notions, and fiber-art items, but in a bigger location! Enjoy improved organization in a more accessible building (no more stairs!). Volunteers have been busy stocking the new shop with all the deals you love, and we’re excited for you to experience the new and improved SOS at the Quilt Museum.

Donations (up to two large bags) are welcome during SOS at the Quilt Museum shopping hours.
