Yesterday, when I was on my way “to somewhere else” and had an appointment I needed to honor, I stumbled upon a quilt shop that I did not know existed. No wonder. I rarely travel that road. The name of the shop is The Constant Quilter. Actually, the sign out front that first caught my attention was “Antique pickers needed.” Downstairs in the old farmhouse, there is room after room of bolts of fabric, patterns and threads. Upstairs is an antiques shop!
The place is run by a mother-in-law, a quilter who has relocated to the area from New York, and her daughter-in-law, who loves antiques. I had a lot of fun browsing through the cases and rooms full of absolute treasures. They have a quick turn over of merchandise it says on their Internet site.
The shop is located on Route 11, just 3 miles east of Andover, New Hampshire, very easy to find. Parking is in the back of the shop. This shop is a treasure. I am sure that my car will be headed in that direction again soon, when I have more time to browse. Quilt classes are available, as well as machine quilting services and sewing machine repairs. Enjoy! Their phone number is (603) 735-4100. http://www.constantquilter.com/
