Hello there fellow quilter,

     Welcome to Lil' Country Shoppe - A Quilt Shop Baby was born on September 30, 2002 and the proud owner is Doris Wooleyhan and she was thinking this is one great hobby.  What was a hobby now has a staff of 5 (Susan, Betsy, Sherry, Cheryl and Doris) plus numerous teachers turning it into one great quilt shop. Yes I will gladly tell you it is my staff that makes the shop what it is today.  I think all of them refer to it their shop and it is!! The shop was opened in the living room of Doris's house, then she expanded into a bedroom -- just needed more space for fabric, then in 2003 she moved it to a shopping center.  Wow did that stash grow.  The shopping center was home for 5 1/2 years before I bought an old farmhouse and had a addtion put on.  Moving to our new home finally happened in March of 2009 which meant more space more fabric.  I know you understand that one.

     The shop was mainly a country shop starting with 700 bolts of warm colors and even back in 2002 we had lots of wool for hooking and penny rugs.   Today the shop has expanded to over 3000 bolts of great cottons and a nice selection of hand dyed wools.  The warm colors are my first love but we have included a couple hundred bolts of batiks.  We now carry bolts from lots of different designers which include  Patrick Lose, Jo Morton, Paula Barnes, Nancy Gere, Kansas Trouble Quilters, Amy Butler plus lots of blenders (Fusions, marbles, tone on tones, etc.)  I stive to keep all the lastest notions, books, and patterns in stock.  Sometimes I stop and look at shop and have to pinch myself and say yes it is true.   To give the shop that warm homy feeling we use antiques, flea market finds, and some reprodutions for displays.  We've all heard it over and over "WOW, I want to live here" as they walk through the front door.

     Our classroom allows us to host special events which include PMS Day (Potluck Monday Sewers), Lil' This - Lil' That (Saturday Demo featuring small projects), Rug Hooking Day, two hand stitching groups, Party with Patrick with around 40 members, Witches Day Out, Elves Wanted and a Batik Lover's Club plus classes.  All of our clubs are at no charge except Party with Patrick which is by membership only.

     Thank you for visiting our website -- we'd love to physically welcome you to our shop, we feel it well worth the visit with loads of samples, a fantastic staff and an outstanding selection of quilting, rug hooking, penny rug, and punch needle supplies along with some orginal designs down by one of us in the shop. 

Happy Stitching
Doris, Susan, Cheryl, Sherry and Betsy

One quick note - Some GPS's take you past the shop about 1/4 mile down the road.  Just look for the open flag and you know you have arrived at one great quilt shop.
