List of quilt shops near Augusta GA?
I am planning a trip to visit my best friend in Augusta GA in February to teach a class for her friends and am wondering if anyone can tell me about the local quilt shops in the area?
Thanks! Sue |
Hey Sue!!!
I'm not far from Augusta (only 30 minutes). Unfortunately, we really don't have a "quilt shop" per say. We do have Branum's Sewing and Vac which has some wonderful fabrics as well as Jeff's Sewing and Vac. There's a quilt shop in Aiken, SC but I don't know what that name is. Branum's is changing and becoming more of a "normal" quilt shop. Let me know when you're coming and maybe we can get together to visit!! |
Hi Momyar!
Thanks for the info! I am trying to combine business and pleasure by scheduling a class in a shop, if possible, as well as the one I am teaching for my friend and her friends. Right now, I think I will be coming the third week in February and staying 6 days although 2 of them are "travel" days. Do you belong to a guild in the area that might be looking for a workshop? I design paper piecing patterns and love to teach! My designs have been published in 12 different magazines to date including 2 issues of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks from Today's Top Designers. I would love to meet you if we get the chance! Sue |
Here is the info for the Aiken quilt shoppe
Aiken Quilt Shoppe 146 Laurens Street SW Aiken, SC 29801 803-649-7511 Im not in Aiken but have visited this shop a few times. The shop is not huge but they do have a nice selection. The owner is SUPER nice and will help you with anything you might need. She has a classroom in the back and also a "rentable" long arm, so if you are in the market to test your long arm skills thats the place for you. She will give instructions and guide you through the process. I hope to someday soon take a Saturday and give it a whirl. Enjoy your trip!!! Kimberly |
Thanks Kimberly! I'll check this out.
