We are excited to have classes starting again the week of July 6th. If you have any questions about classes please contact Sandy at sandy@alwaysinstitches1.com

We appreciate your patience as we navigate this new way of doing business. In an effort to keep our staff and customers safe we encourage everyone wear masks, but masks are not required to enter our shop. We sterilize public surfaces and high contact areas throughout the day. We have hand sanitizer all around the shop for our staff and customers to apply often. We encourage social distancing, when practical, and have over 9,000 square feet to spread out in.

We are a friendly shop and recognize each person makes their own choice about following these guidelines. Consequently, if you are at risk or prefer to only be in contact with others wearing masks, we encourage you to use one of our several no contact shopping options:

Order online on this website under the SHOP tab
Call 317-776-4227 for phone in orders
Send an email to: orders@alwaysinstitches1.com

All orders over $50 receive free shipping in the continental USA or you can pick up in our safe vestibule area at the front of the shop. We do our best to respond to your order within one business day and fill requests in the order they are received. We have added staff specifically to meet the needs of our new "not in the shop" customers. Currently our phone lines have been super busy, so if you don't reach us, try one of the other ways to make contact. We DO care and want to help you find just what you are looking for in our shop.

New Block of the Month

Join the Nebula BOM

This collaboration between Jaybird Quilts and FreeSpirit Fabrics features Tula Pink True Colors, Solids and HomeMade fabrics. .

This beautiful quilt features nine unique blocks all created with rulers to make the blocks piece together with no pesky Y seams! Each month you’ll create two blocks of the same design. Creative fabric placement will make your quilt appear to have 18 different blocks.

The Block of the Month kit focuses on the Queen size. But, with a bit more fabric you can make a King, or add to your stash, or create a scrappy back when you make the large Lap size. The choice is yours.

Buy the kit and the rulers to recieve the bonus swag project bag which includes a quilt label exclusively designed by Tula Pink.

Begins January 2021 and runs through October 2021. Pick up in the shop or we will ship within Continental USA for free when you buy the complete kit with the add on rulers.

Once these sell out, we will not be ordering more, so don't let this opportunity pass you by!

Purchase the Complete Kit

Quilter's Trek is Off and Running!

We are excited to offer our block; "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" as a kit this year. We've included a little bit of history and a fun collectible token in each one.

To better meet the current needs of those not able to travel, most shops are offering their kits for purchase online. You can still pick up one free pattern per person in the participating shops too.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner: We have two beautiful collections of 15 fat quarters to give away to the first two quilts presented in our shop between July 15 and October 15 with a minimum of 8 shops represented in the design.

BONUS:The first quilt received to contain our block gets an extra KISS - Hershey's that is!
