Tree City Stitches

Greensburg, Indiana is famous for the tree growing out of its courthouse roof, and Tree City Stitches takes its name — and a little of its charm — straight from that local landmark. It's the kind of detail that tells you this is a shop rooted in its town, not a chain trying to look local.

Inside, you'll find better than a thousand bolts of fabric, with a good depth of batiks and blenders for quilters who like to build a palette rather than just match a panel. The shop runs sewing classes for those still finding their footing at the machine, and quilting retreats for the ones who'd rather disappear into a project for a weekend with other quilters.

If you're passing through southeastern Indiana and want to see the courthouse tree anyway, it's an easy stop to pair with a look at the fabric wall.
