Built by a Maker.
Run with Heart.
Quilting Legacies isn’t your typical craft store. It’s a place where makers gather, learn from each other, and leave with more than just supplies.
They leave with new skills, new friends, and the confidence to tackle their next project.
Founded by Amanda, the shop is home to a thriving community of quilters, a carefully curated selection of premium fabrics and tools, and hands-on classes designed to meet you exactly where you are.
A few fun facts
- Our founder is a TEDx speaker and a top 2% Etsy store builder.
- Our instructors have over 25 years of sewing experience.
- Someone on our staff is a former CIA intelligence analyst - but we won't tell you who 😉
