We are excited to share with you all the wonderful things that quilt making can offer. Besides making useful and beautiful items, Quilts are now widely accepted as an art form as valid as painting. Our unique perspective allows us to both love and appreciate the vintage and antique examples of the form, and to look to the new developments in material and technique that will truly bring Quilting into the 21st century. A visit to our shoppe is filled with inspiration, you are as likely to find a vintage piece being conserved as you are to find Diana’s latest experiment with some new surface design product – usually there is a little of both. Our classes workshops and clubs cover all aspects of the art form. Click the tabs to see more information on course content and registration.
Our hours are 10-5, Tuesday through Saturday.

Our town is celebrating its Bicentennial in 2012, and for over 25 years The Village Fabric Shoppe has been a part of the town. We are working on a commemorative quilt for the occasion too! Come on it for a visit and see how it is progressing.
The owner, Diana Louie, has a lifetime love of all things textile, learning to sew from one grandmother, and embroider and crochet from the other. Her early training was in oil painting, and she earned a living as an art teacher for over a decade. At that time her creative output was mostly tapestry weaving, and creating “Garb”. Her masters thesis was written on Dyes and Pigments from the Middle Ages. She made a baby quilt in the early 90′s and has never looked back.
The future holds great things in store at the Shoppe, as the Art World has discovered quilts and all the variety that is possible when they hang on the wall. Diana is in a unique position to both love and appreciate the quilts and quilters of the past, and to help move the art form into the 21st century. Come on in to find out how playing with fabric can enrich your life.
Very welcoming!! Pleasantly supprised by wonderful selection and quility. Diana was extremely helpful. Strongly recommend this shop to beginners and pros.
