Among Friends Quilt Shop, established in 2003, is owned by
Wendy and Scott. Although the shop has only been open since
November of 2003, it currently is one of the largest quilt shops in the state of
Kentucky with over 6,000 bolts of quality cotton fabrics, over 1,000 book and
pattern titles and hundreds of tools and notions from which to choose.
At Among Friends you will find your favorite fabrics from the top manufacturers
of quilting fabrics such as Moda, Hoffman, RJR, Benartex, Michael Miller, Free
Spirit and many, many more. Fabric styles include brights, batiks, florals, novelties,
asian prints, traditional prints, reproductions, homespuns, flannel, Minkee Blankee
and more.
Great gift items can also be found at Among Friends. Specialty items include
Heartwood Creek and Precious Moments figurines, Webkinz for the kids and more.
Seasonal gift items are also available as well as fun novelty items. We also carry
Legacy greeting cards and stationary items. There is something for everyone.
Among Friends Quilt Shop is currently the only Handi Quilter dealer
in Kentucky. As a full-service dealer the shop is stocked with an inventory of
products for the mid- and long-arm quilters. If you haven’t seen what the HQ
Sixteen home quilting machine or the Pro-Stitcher can do, call today to schedule a
private demonstration.
Wendy and Scott have strived
to create an atmosphere that
is inviting and friendly. The
shop’s café provides a place
where you can meet with
friends and drink a cup of
coffee on the house (we will
make it fresh for you). You
can sit and relax on one of
the two leather sofas (we call
that area “Husband Parking’)
while browsing through the
huge selection of books,
magazines and patterns.
Traveling? Families are welcome at Among
Friends, where there is a something for everyone.
A TV complete with cable TV, DVD/VCR player and remote control is available
in the Husband Parking area. Also in this area are puzzles and toys for the little
ones to play with as well as videos to watch. This will occupy the family while you
shop. Now, we are not implying that only women shop for fabric. We welcome and
encourage our male quilters as well. Quilting should be for everyone!
The friendly staff at Among Friends is always ready to assist you with your
fabric selection, answer your questions or to assist you in any way that we can.
Having a problem with a project? Bring it by and we will try to help you get past
your frustration and on to having fun with it again. We are here to serve.
Education is important and a great emphasis is placed on it here. With a 1,200
square foot classroom equipped with 8 foot tables, padded chairs and bright fullspectrum
lighting there is plenty of room to spread out and be creative. Colorful
quilts adorn the walls to create a pleasant and cheerful atmosphere that is conducive
to learning. We offer approximately 120 classes per year to challenge you and help
you to learn new skills and techniques or to improve your skills. There is always
something new and exciting to do and learn.
At Among Friends, we want you to have fun. We have several events throughout
the year to provide social
experience with fellow quilters
and to just have a good time.
Two such events are our annual
auction in the spring and our
monthly FFA (Fabric Fondlers
Annonymous) meetings, which
is our version of “Girls Night
Out.” If you haven’t visited
Among Friends Quilt Shop,
please stop by soon. Enjoy!
