A little comfort quilting

We are located in the Idaho Northern Panhandle in the little town of Bonners Ferry. We’re approximately 25 miles south of the Canadian border between the Cabinet and Selkirk mountain ranges along the Kootenai River. Come to the “old” downtown to visit our shop – we’re right across the street from the Memorial Park with the Gazebo, where you can sit and enjoy a lunch in the summer sun and contemplate just what your next quilting adventure will be. We carry just what you’ll need – wonderful quilting fabrics, notions, threads, patterns, and wide backs to help you pursue your quilting passion.

In 2003, two friends decided to pool their money and buy a Gammill longarm so they could start quilting the quilt tops hanging in their respective closets, along with a few quilts from friends. We all know how that works. Neither one of us got to quilt many of our own quilts. In 2005 we relocated from Sandpoint to Bonners Ferry, and slowly started adding a few fabrics, mostly wide backs. A couple of years later, we purchased a second longarm, found a larger space, and just HAD to add additional fabrics. When my friend moved a little South in 2013, I became full owner and, after a contest, the shop was renamed to “A Little Comfort Quilting”. Two years ago, I moved into the space I now occupy and have just a tad more fabric and tools. I still longarm for people but, yes, a lot of my own quilts are still hanging in the closet. Some day. In the meantime, I love being in this shop and getting to meet so many quilters from around the world, from New Zealand, England, Russia, the women from Chili (riding their motorcycles who just had to get that Route66 fabric), and just about every state in the U.S. Stop in when you’re in the area. I’d love to meet you.
