Fabric stores in Sandy, Utah

Sandy is the easiest quilting afternoon in Utah, and the reason is geography. Quilt Etc. sits at 11 East Main Street and Quilts on the Corner at 208 East Main sit two blocks apart, on the same historic street, both long-established and both worth your time. Park once and you can visit them on foot.

That pairing is useful rather than just convenient. Quilt Etc. covers fabric, kits, notions, books, and patterns. Quilts on the Corner emphasizes wide backing, longarm quilting, rentals, training, and INNOVA machines. Between them, many quilters can cover both piecing and finishing needs in one trip.

A few minutes away, Heartfelt combines quilting with a substantial scrapbooking department. It also stays open until seven most weeknights, which makes it a practical after-work option.

Plan a full outing

Historic Sandy’s Main Street is a pleasant place to wander between shops, and there’s plenty nearby for lunch. If you’re coming from out of town, the mountains are right there. Little Cottonwood Canyon is about ten minutes east, so a morning of fabric and an afternoon drive up to Alta pairs beautifully in either season.

Most shops here close on Sunday, and apart from Heartfelt, most are done by five or six. A morning start gives you the most comfortable pace.

Nearby

Sandy sits in the middle of the valley’s densest cluster of shops. Draper, Murray, Riverton and West Jordan are all a short drive away — see everything in Salt Lake County if you’re planning a bigger loop.
