About Us
As a full service quilt shop specializing in Karen's newest lines of 20's & 30's fabrics from Andover Fabrics Inc., 1800's, Jo Morton & civil war fabrics, we also offer a wide variety of brights, & conversation prints. We carry quilt books, patterns & notions just waiting for you to choose your next project. I now have over thirty Exclusive Speckled Hen Quilt patterns. Classes & workshops are scheduled at many different times of the year, so that we may accommodate our customers who come from the Portland & suburban metro area as well as up & down the I-5 corridor. We also carry a great selection of gifts & collectibles for the quilter!
We are not just a quilt shop! We are a gathering place to exchange ideas, shop for that 'oh! so right' fabric to create your next masterpiece... pick up a memento of your visit, or a teddy bear for someone you love!
Our staff is known for their friendly Pacific Northwest hospitality, and they are here to help, whether you are just browsing, or a long time customer in need of that special fabric for your next project. We encourage you to join one of our many classes or just come 'Sit & Sew' when you are in the area. Call for 'Sit & Sew' hours to reserve your space.
Over the last twenty-three years, my business has seen many changes. Starting out as a self employed shop keeper selling antiques & collectibles, I never dreamed I would one day be the proud owner of a wonderful quilt shop!
Being chosen as a TOP TEN QUILT SHOP by Quilt Sampler magazine in fall 2007 was very exciting! Along the way there were a few bumps in the road including '& Lizzie's too!', my endeavor at being a restaurateur, and our name change from 'Jacob's House Quilt Shop' to 'Speckled Hen Quilts' & finally our BIG move to Wilsonville in July 2004.
After seven years in Wilsonville, we have now moved into a brand new building in Aurora. Located on our property just off I-5, I am right back where I started from! This is truly home.
In October 2009 my first line of fabric, Apron Strings was introduced into the market place by Andover Fabrics Inc. In May of 2010, the second line, Mama's Favorites, was unveiled. Lots of Dots arrived at the end of December 2010. Make sure you log onto the Andover site www.andoverfabrics.com to see the full collections along with the FREE patterns of the quilts designed by Karen.
I hope all the many friends I have made along the way will join in sharing more of 'Karen's Big Adventure' by dropping in to see us in our newest location here in Aurora. We are now nesting in our new Hen House. So come visit soon...We invite you to come experience Speckled Hen Quilts, and prepare to let your imagination wander!
Hope to see you real soon!
