Nana's Quilt Shop

Nana's Quilt Shop has been part of Brooksville since 2006, and the name gives away the kind of warmth the shop trades in; this is a place built around community as much as commerce. The weekly Sit and Sew social is the clearest evidence of that, a standing invitation to bring your own project, pull up a chair, and sew alongside other quilters rather than working alone at home.

On the business side, they're a Brother-authorized service center and an APQS dealer, so longarm quilters have a real resource here: sales, service, and the machine repair that keeps a longarm running for the long haul. Longarm quilting services mean a pieced top can get finished without leaving town.

Two decades in Brooksville is long enough to have become part of the local quilting routine, and the weekly Sit and Sew is the kind of standing date that keeps a shop feeling like a gathering place instead of just a storefront.
