The Cottage Quilt Shop is owned and operated by Cynthia and Bill Shatzel. It is located in downtown Taylorsville at 100 S Center Street, which is 2 blocks south of Main Street (Hwy 90) and the Alexander County Court House. The Shop opened in April of 2008 and now has over 1600 bolts of name brand fabrics. We also have the largest collection of Fat Quarters in the area. There are unique gifts and gift ideas which Cynthia is happy to show you.  We have expanded  our  hours and are now open six days per week. Monday - Friday 10:00AM to 5:00PM and Saturdays 10:00AM - 3:00PM.

We are now Dealers for Baby Lock Sewing, Embroidery, and Serging machines. If you haven't seen the Baby Lock Jet Air Sergers you owe it to yourself to come in for a free demonstration. There is a service and repair shop on site for our customers. We will service all makes of machines. We carry a wide range of machine feet, stabilzers, and sewing and quilting notions. Classes are offered and schedules are posted on page 2 (About Us) of this wed-site. We are a dealer for Handi Quilter also ,and have an Avante 18 Pro Stitcher and a sit down HQ 16. We offer not only classes but also rent time on the long arm machine for those who wish to do their own.

Up coming events include our first Shop Hop, The Midcarolina Run, which includes 11 shops and will run from Tuesday June 22 through Saturday June 26, 2010. We will also be at the Guild Show in Sparta, NC in July and in North Wilksboro Show in September.

We have expanded our selection of notions and books and patterns. Cynthia is constantly busy coming up with new ideas so you're sure to see something different each time you come in. Starting this fall we will be adding a couple Demonstration Days to our calender each month. We hope to have some interesting subjects which we will announce in August.
