NEQM Shop

In the Shop

The Museum Shop at NEQM has a varied collection of fine gifts, books, fabrics and notions that will delight any quilt lover. Museum admission is not required to shop in our store and museum members receive a 10% discount on their purchases.

Check out the delightful “Tie Bags” as featured in the Lowell SUN weekend magazine. These bags, $25 each, are made from “upcycled” men’s ties embellished with fancy buttons or old brooches for closing.

Always available at the NEQM shop are all the materials you need to do Japanese Sashiko embroidery. And our shop is known for the lovely Japanese fabrics we stock--with new ones arriving this month!

There are still fabrics available from the New England Quilt Museum’s Regency line created with Marcus Brothers, as well as the newer Merrimack line: choose from kits to create a “Mill Wheel” pattern quilt, or fat quarters and jelly rolls.

Introducing The Merrimack Collection from Marcus Fabrics!

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. Click here to view the entire collection.

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 former 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.
