Waterwheel House Quilt Shop
A modern aesthetic thrives at Waterwheel House Quilt Shop in Londonderry, Vermont, thanks to the keen eye of its skilled caretaker.
Anything but Traditional [1]
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.
Brights to Whites [3]
Quilted samples—ranging from small bags to full-size quilts—incorporating brights and white present a pleasing juxtaposition to the shop’s rural charm.
Meet the Owners [5]
Andrew and Shelley Sas (owners) and Gracie, the shop dog.
Improv Piecing [7]
Pick Up Sticks, one of Shelley’s original designs, features improvisational piecing.
Growing Interest [9]
Shelley’s love for sewing budded when she started designing felted wool penny rug projects.
Something New [11]
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.
Starter Packs [13]
Assembled grab-and-go bundles of fat quarters are a big hit with quilters looking for a starter mix of fabric to use in their next project.
Stripe It Rich [15]
Shop co-owner Shelley Sas and shop manager Judith Ackerman designed Stripe It Rich for Quilt Sampler® Fall/Winter 2012 magazine.
Machine-Quilting Details [17]
