Patches Quilt Loft & Embroidery

Patches Quilt Loft & Embroidery in Manchester carries one of the larger local fabric selections around, which alone would make it worth a stop, but the embroidery side is what really sets it apart — custom embroidery work alongside the quilting fabric, for anyone who wants a personalized touch on a project rather than piecing alone.

They also run quilt camps and retreats, the kind of multi-day gathering that lets you actually finish something with dedicated time and company, instead of stealing an hour here and there at home. Add in a regular class schedule, and this is a shop built around keeping quilters together, not just selling them yardage.

If you've been wanting to combine embroidery into your quilting or you're overdue for a retreat with people who understand why you own that much fabric, Manchester has you covered.
