Feels Like Home

The Olde World Quilt Shoppe

The warmth of home envelops customers as they enter The Olde World Quilt Shoppe in Phoenix, Arizona. "We included warm floors, granite countertops, a four-poster bed, and a fireplace with a mantel so people would feel as comfortable here as they do in their own houses," Dee Grantham says. A 10-foot-long antique table-the centerpiece of the shop-is ideal for spreading out a project or sampling fabrics for a quilt.

A Fan of Feather Stitching

A Fan of Feather Stitching

In Family Affair, a machine-quilted feather wreath adorns the tan tone-on-tone squares where the blocks intersect, and a feather pattern is stitched in each remaining tan tone-on-tone squares. More feather designs accent each setting and corner triangle and each border.

Family Affair Color Option

Family Affair Color Option

The traditional Sister's Choice block can look totally different based on fabric choices. Florals, paisleys, and swirls abound in this eight-block version of Family Affair. Using 3 Sisters' Aster Manor collection for Moda Fabrics results in vintage chic.
