What's New

We're a Quilt Sampler Magazine Top 10 Shop!

Bear Paw Quilting & Bernina has been chosen as one of the 10 featured shops across the United States and Canada for the Spring issue of Quilt Sampler magazine, published by Better Homes and Gardens.

Quilt Sampler, published twice a year, has been profiling North America’s top quilt shops for the past 13 years. Competition to be included in Quilt Sampler is keen. Bear Paw Quilting & Bernina and the other nine shops chosen were photographed and interviewed by a team from Quilt Sampler, and a multi-page profile of the shop will appear in the issue, which will be available on newsstands on May 11, 2010.

We are excited for you to see our quilt, Bears in the Cabin, designed by Kathryn & Sandy! The quilt will be included in the May magazine along with a full sized pattern. Bears in the Cabin represents our shop as well as elements from the quilt over which we discovered our common passion opening Coeur d’Alene’s quilt store!

The other nine shops featured in the Spring 2010 Quilt Sampler include: Quilter’s Haven in Bountiful, UT; Sweetwater Cotton Shoppe in Paynesville, MN; In Between Stitches in Livermore, CA; Hollyhill Quilt Shoppe & Mercantile in West Linn, OR; Cabbage Rose Quilting and Fabrics in Fort Worth, TX; Quiltmakers Cottage in Hershey, PA; Quilters’ Haven in Olathe, KS; Plain and Simple in Apex, NC; and The Quilting Bee in Fonthill, Ontario, Canada.
