If you have a creative mind, quilting is an increasingly popular avenue used to express your thoughts and feelings through color and fabric. Many people who try their hand at quilting quickly become obsessed with the desire to collect the best and newest patterns in fabric and generate more ideas.

Helping to accomplish this desire is the goal of an ingenious group of publications featuring listings and information on quilt shops all over the country. With more than double the listings and pages of the nearest competitor, “Showtime Quilter’s Guide & Directory” by WRBQ, Inc. is the most comprehensive quilt shop directory available anywhere. This directory is convenient to use. It is spiral bound so it lays flat as you are browsing and stays open to your desired page. Quilt shops are listed by region making it easy to use during traveling. Not only are there more listings, but each and every listing is carefully verified, so you don’t end up arriving at your destination only to find your dream quilt shop has moved.

With each quilt shop there is bound to be the prospect of quilt shows where local quilt guilds display their latest quilts, designs and masterpieces. Some so beautiful and detailed you just know you’d never be able to create something like what you are seeing even with a pattern to go by. Many of these quilt shows are also listed in the Showtime Quilter’s Guide and Directory, so you can plan your quilt adventure to coincide with the quilt shows. These show quality quilt patterns and masterpieces will ultimately be sold in quilt shops across the country. Not only can you browse the listings in the printed directory but you can also review the online quilt shop guide which WRBQ, Inc. has made available to all. Every designer has to start somewhere and you never know what you might find.

The use of an online quilt shop guide or a quilt shop locator such as the ‘Showtime Quilter’s Guide and Directory’ to find new quilt shops that can be in many of the cozy towns across the country has expanded the reach of many quilters. The thoughts of finding that just right fabric to include in a future project can keep you on a mission every spare chance you can get away. Describing exactly what you are looking for can be elusive, but when you find it you will exclaim for joy. You have seen it in your imagination; you know exactly what you hope for.

Eventually the quilt shop locator will lead you to enough quilt shops, online quilt shops, quilt shows, guild shows and quilters shop hops that you will have built up what seasoned quilters affectionately define as their ’stash’. Though there will always be the elusive and never ending new and exciting fabric lines and patterns to find and purchase, this so called ’stash’ will give you a base from which you can begin.
