Introducing The Merrimack Collection from Marcus Fabrics!
The Merrimack Collection is the museum’s second fabric series to
result from collaboration with Marcus Fabrics. Judy Rothermel has
again designed a line of fabrics that feature stunning stripes,
geometrics and paisley motifs based on 1850’s quilts from the
museum’s permanent collection in a wide range of colors: chocolate
browns, rusty reds, greens and plums. Dating back to the middle of
the nineteenth century they reflect the historic region of Merrimack
Valley the present-day location of the museum itself.
10-yard bolts of all 28 fabrics in the collection, charm square
and fat quarter packs are now in stock. Queensize
quilt kits will be available shortly.

The fat quarter bundles and sample packs are all gone. A few queen
size quilt kits are still here and small amounts of yardage remain
on most of the bolts.

For
quilters, a visit to the New England Quilt Museum Gift Shop is like
a trip to the candy store. The NEQM shop boasts one of the best
collections of books and magazines for quilters in the country.
Quilters love the latest books as well as old favorites. You will
find everything from traditional and contemporary patterns and techniques
to quilt history and humor; one special book is New England Quilt
Museum Quilts by our director, Jennifer Gilbert. Starting with a
history of the Mill Girls who worked in Lowell, Gilbert gives an
overview of the history of quilt making in New England using beautiful
examples from our permanent collection. Included are five patterns
to inspire readers to make heirloom quilts for themselves. This
book can be ordered from the shop for $22.95 plus $4.00
shipping (MASS residents add 5% sales tax) by printing out
the book order form and sending
it with your payment as directed on the form. Contact
