National Quilting Day is celebrated on Saturday, March 19 in honor of this colorful and practical ancient art. So whether you're interested in getting started in this hobby or have already completed many beautiful projects, take time to visit an Atlanta quilting shop.

Our real estate agents recommend stopping by the following quilting shops around Atlanta.

• Sandies Label - 931 Monroe Dr. NE, Atlanta, GA 30308
  Sandy Teepen, the creative force behind Sandies Label, creates quilts, wall hangings, and other pieces that even include a wedding canopy. She has already-made quilts for sale and can make a unique custom quilt from materials that hold special meaning to you. You can also commission her to create a Memory Quilt containing details meaningful to your family. They're excellent ways to commemorate special occasions such as a first grandchild or meaningful wedding anniversary. They can include old buttons, lace, favorite dresses or shirts, and even photos and ticket stubs.
  
  
• O.V. Brantley Quilt Studio - 505 Stonebriar Way SW, Atlanta 30331
  The owner of O.V. Brantley Quilt Studio taught herself how to quilt in 1999 and has since made over 300 quilts. You'll find her quilts for sale at her studio, and they always include an inspirational message. A founder of the Atlanta Quilt Festival, Brantley's creations are one-of-a-kind works of colorful art that are traditional but have an ethnic flair.
  
  
• The Cotton Farm - 66 Woodstock Rd., Roswell, GA 30075
  With the goal of encouraging the art of quilting and the next generation of quilters, the mother-daughter team at The Cotton Farm offers a wide variety of services to help you complete a project. You'll find fabrics of nearly every description, books, patterns, and notions at the shop, as well as classes that will help you further your knowledge and meet fellow quilters. And if you'd like to have part of a quilt or the entire project made by the shop, they'll do that, too. They even have a long-arm quilting machine, a large machine that makes it much easier to smoothly sew a quilt.
  
  
• Shirt Off Your Back Quilts - 2660 Holcomb Bridge Rd. Suite 214, Alpharetta, GA 30022
  The owner of Shirt Off Your Back Quilts, Amy Walsh, loves to share her nearly lifelong passion for quilts with others. Given the shop's name, it's not surprising that Amy makes T-shirt quilts for her customers.

Stop by the shop and test-drive a state-of-the-art INNOVA quilting machine, or shop for parts and thread.

  At Quilt N Fabric, located near Fayetteville homes for sale, you can get help with fabric choices and project ideas to help you succeed in making a quilt you're happy with.
