Searching for the best quilt shop in Kansas City? (We sorta look like this picture, AI gave us a glow up!)
The right answer may depend on what kind of quilter you are and what you want from your shopping experience.
Maybe you want rows of beautiful quilting cotton. Maybe you need help choosing fabrics for a pattern. Perhaps you want to build your own fat-quarter bundle, find an approachable project or spend a day exploring a welcoming Missouri town.
At Heartland Quilt Supply Co., we’re working to create the kind of quilt shop we would want to visit: colorful, helpful, creative and filled with reasons to begin a new project.
Located in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, Heartland Quilt Supply Co. is a Kansas City-area quilt shop where new and experienced quilters can shop for fabric, patterns, precuts, kits and inspiration.
Here are a few reasons to add us to your Kansas City quilt-shop list.
A Quilt Shop Worth the Drive From Kansas City
Heartland Quilt Supply Co. is located in Excelsior Springs, making it a fun destination for quilters throughout the Kansas City area.
A visit gives you an opportunity to shop for fabric while enjoying a day outside the busiest parts of the metro.
Come with a friend, choose fabrics for your next project and spend some time exploring Excelsior Springs.
Whether you are visiting from Kansas City, Liberty, Lee’s Summit, Blue Springs, Independence, Parkville, North Kansas City or another nearby community, we would love to welcome you.
Build Your Own Bundle at the Fat Quarter Bar
One of the most distinctive parts of Heartland Quilt Supply Co. is our Fat Quarter Bar.
Instead of being limited to a preselected bundle, you can browse hundreds of grab-and-go fat quarters and choose the exact fabrics you want.
Mix colors, designers, collections and brands to create a bundle that feels completely your own.
You can build a group for:
-
A specific quilt pattern
-
A baby quilt
-
A seasonal project
-
A favorite color palette
-
A scrappy quilt
-
A handmade gift
-
Your fabric stash
Our Fat Quarter Bar also pays tribute to Excelsior Springs and its history as the home of the World’s Longest Mineral Water Bar.
Excelsior Springs has plenty of creative “bars,” and we thought the quilting community deserved one too.

Help Choosing Fabric for Your Project
Shopping for quilt fabric should be fun, but choosing the right combination can sometimes feel overwhelming.
Bring us your pattern, inspiration photo or one fabric you already love.
We can help you look for:
-
A focus fabric
-
Coordinating colors
-
Background fabric
-
Binding

Borders

A balance of light, medium and dark values

You do not need decades of quilting experience to shop with us.
Heartland Quilt Supply Co. welcomes people who are making their first quilt, returning to sewing after a long break or simply curious about how quilting works.
We are happy to help you understand:
-
Pattern fabric requirements
-
Fat quarters and other precuts

Beginner-friendly project options
There are no silly questions.
Every experienced quilter was once a beginner staring at a pattern and wondering what all the abbreviations meant.
Classes and Community at the Sewcial Space
Quilting is more than a shopping trip. It is also an opportunity to learn, create and connect with other makers.
Classes and creative experiences are held at the Sewcial Space, located just up the street from the shop.
The Sewcial Space gives makers a dedicated place to learn new skills, work on projects and enjoy time with other creative people.
Watch our website and social media for upcoming classes, events and community sewing opportunities.
Quilt Kits and Projects Without the Guesswork
Sometimes you want to choose every fabric yourself.
Other times, you want to pick up a project and begin sewing.
Quilt kits make it easier by gathering the primary fabrics needed for a particular design. Depending on the kit, it may include fabric for the quilt top and binding.
Backing is often purchased separately, so always review the complete product description.
A kit can be especially useful when:
-
You love the sample exactly as shown
-
You are not confident choosing coordinating fabrics
-
You need a gift project
-
You want to begin sewing quickly
-
You do not want to calculate every fabric requirement
