What a phenomenal find

by Mojjo

We stopped in today to Quilting Essentials and I have to admit...I'm not sure what I expected. Quilt stores can be great or a real disappointment...this one knocked it out of the park. Not only was the fabric selection excellent but the staff was very helpful. My SM and I picked out fabrics in no time for my next project and the owner was there to give advice. Not to mention the excellent cookie of the week.

I wish I lived closer but at least I know there's somewhere to stop when I visit family

• Pros: great selection, helpful staff
• Cons: not a large sign...can't wait for it to be bigger

Simply Delightful!

From the moment I arrived with Nathan & my two children, we were made to feel like family. Bernie happened to be out front and kindly opened the door for us and quickly went about finding a band-aid for my daughter's bleeding finger.

Although Pat was busy with a class, she frequently checked to make sure Bernie was taking care of our every need....which he was! He helped me choose fabric for my project, entertained my children with jokes, and even turned us on to their "Cookie of the Week" ~ complete with recipe!

The lighting was adequate; the fabric was of good quality with a decent selection, but the quilts on display were gorgeous!! After traveling miles over West Virginia hills, it was worth the 1 hr & 45 min drive to get from our vacation house to the front door of their store! I would be a customer for life if I lived in their neck of the woods, rather than NW Ohio!

If you are looking for a respectible quilt store, look no further! Pat & Bernie have a wonderful little shop!!

• Pros: Friendliest Customer Service
• Cons: Not sure they do their own machine quilting on-site.
