Quilting in San Juan County

San Juan County has no verified dedicated quilt shop, but its quilting community is not empty. Blanding and Monticello each support a local guild and a public summer quilt show. Monticello also has a general retailer that advertises fabric, giving residents one limited in-county option for a same-day need.

Two local quilt guilds

Grayson Country Quilters has connected Blanding quilters since 1995. Published descriptions mention lessons, show and tell, service projects, and an annual Independence Day show. The group is demonstrably active, but no dependable current meeting schedule is publicly available; contact the Utah Quilt Guild or a local senior center before attending.

Quilt-N-Time meets at 6 p.m. on the third Tuesday from September through June at the San Juan Senior Center at Hideout Golf Course, 648 S. Hideout Way in Monticello. Its published activities include sew and tell, lessons, classes, and informal sewing time. Confirm the meeting before a long drive, because the guild does not maintain its own public calendar.

Community quilt shows in Blanding and Monticello

Blanding’s annual Independence Day quilt show follows the July 4 parade. The 2026 show opened at 11 a.m. at Blanding Elementary School and concluded with a 4 p.m. drawing. The San Juan Record’s 2026 schedule confirms the event; consult the next city celebration schedule for future hours.

Monticello’s Pioneer Day celebration includes a separate Quilt-N-Time show at the Monticello Branch Library, 80 N. Main Street. The 2026 show ran July 25 from noon to 3 p.m. See the Utah quilt events calendar for both annual listings.

Buying fabric in San Juan County

No current business in the county meets this directory’s standard for a dedicated quilt or fabric store. Monticello’s official business directory says Monticello Merc True Value, 80 S. Main Street, carries fabric and is open Monday through Saturday. Because the city does not describe the selection by fiber, brand, bolt count, or quilting use, call first if you need quilt-shop-quality cotton, wide backing, or a specific color.

For a full quilt-store selection, the closest verified Utah option in this directory is Canyonland Quilts in Moab, which carries thousands of bolts, wide backing, notions, and longarm supplies. San Juan County residents may also compare options across the Colorado border. Always verify hours before making a long regional trip.

Blanding’s Pioneer Museum at 12 N. Grayson Parkway is another textile-related stop. Regional visitor materials describe historic and contemporary quilts in its local history displays, while the Utah Division of Arts & Museums confirms the museum’s current address and phone. Call before visiting if seeing quilts is the purpose of your stop, since exhibits can rotate.
