In the charming town of Cary, North Carolina, is a haven for quilters of all levels: Cary Quilting Company.
This local gem has earned the title of Regional Winner for North Carolina in the Local Quilt Shop Contest two years running—and for good reason!
What started as a modest quilting business with only 400 bolts of fabric, has blossomed into a 6,000 square foot paradise.
Filled with over 6,000 bolts of high-quality fabric and a staff of 25 passionate quilting enthusiasts, this shop has grown exponentially since they first opened 12 years ago.
The shop’s focus is on fabrics and exceptional longarm services, leaving the sewing machine sales to others so they can deliver unparalleled customer experiences.
In particular customers love their regular sewing camps, classes, and events.
Award Winning Service
With accolades like “Gold for Best Specialty Shop” and “Gold for Best Customer Service” in Raleigh’s Best competition, Cary Quilting Company is more than just a fabric store. It’s a community hub!
Customers rave about the staff’s knowledge and willingness to go above and beyond, offering personalized advice on quilting projects, thread colors, and patterns.
One voter, Dermot, shared:
“Julianne and the staff at Cary Quilting make the shop the best quilting shop around. Their knowledge and friendly service are second to none.”
Brenna summed it up well, saying:
“The staff go above and beyond! I especially love sitting down with the quilters to discuss my project and get their input on thread color and quilting pattern. My quilts always come back beautiful!“
Under the leadership of owner Julianne Walther, Cary Quilting Company has created a culture of creativity and connection.
Julianne, an accomplished portrait quilter, brings her passion for the craft into every corner of the business.
Whether writing books like Portrait Art Quilts: From Photos to Fabric or leading the team in organizing classes and events, Julianne’s influence is felt far beyond the shop walls.
Speaking of events, the biannual Homemade Vendor’s Market is a favorite among local sewists, offering a family reunion vibe where crafters can showcase their work and exchange ideas.
Cary Quilting also hosts sewing classes for all skill levels, making it a great stop for beginners and seasoned quilters alike.
