Waterwheel House Quilt Shop in Londonderry, Vermont, melds old and new. In 2008, shop owner Shelley Sas and her husband, Andrew, bought and renovated a 1790s farmhouse into the quilt shop.
Quilted samples—ranging from small bags to full-size quilts—incorporating brights and white present a pleasing juxtaposition to the shop’s rural charm.
At Waterwheel House Quilt Shop, many of the classes use art-inspired techniques, as illustrated by this mixed media wall hanging. Quilters also can learn sashiko embroidery and paper-piecing techniques.
