The Quilter's Trunk

The Quilter's Trunk in Chicago carries all 365 Kona Cotton colors, a specific and genuinely impressive claim; Kona is the industry-standard solid, and stocking the complete range means color-matching quilters can find the exact shade they're picturing rather than settling for something close.

African wax prints give the shop real range beyond solids, a distinct and vibrant category that not every general quilt shop bothers to stock in depth. As a Baby Lock and Bernina dealer, the shop also handles machine sales, and embroidery supplies extend its reach to quilters and sewists working in machine embroidery.

For solids quilters especially, having the full 365-color Kona wall in one Chicago boutique is worth the trip on its own; pair that with the African wax prints and the machine dealership, and The Quilter's Trunk covers a wide range of what a serious quilter might need.
