QUILTER’S PANTRY is a longarm quilting service company and growing into sew much more. We take pride in our work and will treat you, our customers, and your quilts with the love and care we would expect to receive.
OUR LOCATION
Quilter’s Pantry is located in Northeast Tennessee. We are currently in Jonesborough, the oldest town in TN and the home to The National Story Telling Festival. Beautiful mountains rise behind us and we are blessed with its beauty all year round.
THE BEGINNING
My Mother was a seamstress, my Dad was artistic so all my life I was surrounded by fabric and creativity. At the age of ten I helped my mother make a queen size quilt from all the scraps of fabrics she had used to make our clothes. One side was all wools and tweeds; the other side was all cotton fabrics. It was made with simple 4 inch squares and tied. I still own the quilt.
Fast forward through our life of retail, merchandising, business and customer service work and a variety of crafts, hobbies and creativity. My husband has two aunts and a cousin who are quilters. His cousin is a longarmer. Through our contacts in the quilting/fabric world we found a need in this area and around the country for long arm quilting services.
We did a lot of research. We tested a variety of machines and chose the one that operated the best, has one of the best reputations in the industry as well as the best customer service reps we had met.
Thanks to the many people who offered suggestions and gave us input. With this…
Quilter’s Pantry was formed.
WHAT WE DO
We machine quilt your quilt tops. Our machine can handle the small baby quilts to the large queen and king size quilts. We have a computer driven machine which allows you to choose from many different patterns to fit the theme and style of your quilt. We also do free motion quilting. If you have a certain design in mind, chances are we have it or something very similar or can find or make it for you.
We are firm believers that great customer service is what it is all about. We will pass on that great service to you.
OUR MACHINE SYSTEM
We do our work with the Nolting 20” Fun Quilter on a 12’ frame with the computer system, Side Saddle™. The Nolting long arm machines are proudly made right here in the United States. We currently have over 100 patterns in the system and unlimited patterns available.
WE ALSO MAKE QUILTS
If you would love to have a quilt, but aren’t a quilter, we can help. I either already have one for sale that will fit your need, or we can discuss what design you would like. I also design my own quilts so if you have a theme or idea of what you would like, we can even design it just for you!
OUR WORK ENVIRONMENT
We work in a smoke free, pet free and perfume free environment
