TLC-Quilting Middletown, Pennsylvania

Located just about two miles from Interstate 283, this delightful shop grew out of an instant love affair with quilting when owner LuAnn Lighty made her first quilt in 2011. From her first class in October 2011 to nine (yes, NINE) completed quilts, she learned a lot about what she would want to offer to the public, based on problems she faced in getting her quilts completed. The shop opened in 2017 and has been growing ever since.

The shop has two long arm systems, Mabel (out front) and Betsy (in the back). These are available for customer rental after a four hour class, since one of her biggest challenges in making her first quilts was in getting them finished. She found a shop that rented machine time, and fell in love with the finishing as much as the piecing. Classes are available for quilting at all levels, as well as using the long arm system.

Then there is the fabric – over 4,000 bolts of 100% cotton quilting magic. There are over 100 wide backings available. Solids and blenders are well represented, as well as batiks. Large and small prints are also on hand, including selections by Tula Pink. Don’t miss the Fat Quarter bags, Layer Cakes, Bali Pops, and of course the sale shelf. There are also quilt patterns and Kimberbell Embroidery patterns. Miss LuAnn carries a great selection of threads to go with these.

Check out the Accuquilt Go Cutting systems. Quilt samples are scattered throughout the shop, both hung on walls and on benches like to one below. Patterns are with the samples, so you can easily make one of your own if you really like it.

The shop is a registered Brother dealer, so if you are ready to upgrade or replace your current machine, do check these out. I would plan at least thirty to forty-five minutes here.
