2014 Rural Co Supplier Awards
Annie's Country Quilt Store Ltd
Runner Up: Emerging Business Award 2014
Welcome to Annie's Country Quilt Store
My aim is to inspire people through my own love of patchwork quilting and stitching and to create a shop that is warm, friendly and inviting. Annie's
Country Quilt Store is based in a 120 year old pioneer cottage on the Main South Road in Tinwald, on the outskirts of Ashburton, a small provincial farming town in New Zealand's South Island.
The cottage lends itself well to the country theme and my love of antiques and collectibles which feature in the shop alongside an excellent range of patchwork fabrics, DMC cotton stitcheries, gifts and patterns sourced from all over the world.
I want my customers to feel welcome to browse, comfortable about asking for help or advice and happy with their purchasing decisions. I also want them to come back and bring their friends!
Call for Entries: 12 x 12 Quilt Challenge 2025 - REWORK
Calling all quilters and textile artists! We invite you to participate in the BERNINA 12 x 12 Quilt Challenge, the theme for 2025: REWORK.
This challenge celebrates the beauty of transformation, urging you to create a quilt that incorporates scraps, upcycled, reworked textiles or orphan blocks.
Showcase your creativity and skill by breathing new life into old materials and be in to win a BERNINA 325. Each quilt must measure 12 x 12 inches and embody the spirit of reimagining and repurposing fabrics that might have otherwise been discarded.
