About Blue Bar Quilts

Our mission is to build a vibrant community for modern quilters and fiber artists in the greater Madison area to come together and learn and develop techniques, abilities, styles and interests.

We partner with our customers to fulfill their needs while sustaining the business through mutual support. Providing immediate access to materials and supplies that customers need enables them to keep their creative juices flowing and supports their growth and, in turn, that of the shop’s bottom line.

Our artist’s and makers galleries, classroom and dye studio foster and promote the work and continuing education of area fiber artists. We have strong connections to local groups and guilds including Madison Modern Quilt Guild, Madison Contemporary Fiber Artists (the former two hold their monthly meetings here) Mad City Quilt Guild and Memory Cloth Circle.
