About Us

Quilter's Heaven opened its doors in February 2008 as the Chicago North Shore's only full service quilt shop. Our store is located at 1747 Dundee Rd. in Northbrook, IL  filled with 2700 bolts of fabric, patterns, books, kits, and a full notions wall. We also have a Gammill Long Arm machine on hand to finish your quilt tops.

Around here, we have a reputation for our huge selection of batiks, along with the vibrancy of our bright, bold palette of colorful fabrics. Our collection of premium fabrics features the industry's finest designers and manufacturers, including: Art Gallery Fabrics,  Moda, Robert Kaufman, P & B and Hoffman lines.

In addition to a fully stocked retail store, we offer a wide range of classes to accommodate quilters of all skill levels.  We offer classes for true beginners to sewing and quilting.  There are also  technique and project classes as well as demos and sewing events.

When you're in the Chicagoland area, we hope you'll drop by for a visit. For those shopping with us online, you can be confident that you'll receive the same level of service our customers enjoy in-store, with fast, friendly assistance and prompt shipping of your orders.

Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have...we're always happy to help!
