Lickety Stitch Quilts - Quilt Shop Spotlight

A Quilt Shop Spotlight

Don’t you just love it when you unexpectedly stumble upon the most amazing quilt shop in the middle of nowhere!?

On our great cross country journey of 2022, we stopped in the small town of Lusk, Wyoming for lunch. As we pulled into town, the first thing I noticed were barn quilts… everywhere! Of course, I started to get excited. This many barn quilts must mean there’s a quilt shop! Sure enough. Lickety Stitch Quilts was just down the road.

Located right on highway 18 as you’re traveling toward Rapid City, South Dakota (Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse monuments), Lickety Stitch Quilts couldn’t be more perfectly located.

What Lickety Stitch Quilts offers

Walking in the front door of Lickety Stitch Quilts I was blown away by the sheer size of this quilt shop! It definitely does not look this big from the outside.

There was just about anything a quilter could need on those shelves. Beautiful quilts hanging on the walls. Honestly, I could live here. 🙂

After talking with the owner (Karen) and customers at Lickety Stitch Quilts, I learned that Lusk is actually a popular stopping spot for quilters on their way to a Retreat center up the road a ways. And, the town of Lusk holds their own huge Quilt Retreats twice a year! This really is a quilters paradise in the Midwest!

Even my husband got in on the fun. After helping this nice quilter take a quick photo, she gave him a quick lesson in a fun quilting program on her phone!

And then I saw the second room…

Just through the doorway in the wall is Lickety Stitch Quilts’ original store when they opened in 2010. Today, it holds their classroom, more notions and even more fabric! Panels, specialty fabrics, licensed fabrics just to name a few!

Don’t you just love how they have the panels organized in these great little wooden boxes!?

Unique quilting techniques and

About those barn quilts…

As Karen explained, in 2015 the town of Lusk, Wyoming had a devastating flood. With 2 feet of standing water, it just destroyed the Lickety Stitch Quilts’ shop. To help restore the town’s morale and bring the community together, they organized a group project to make barn quilts! And yes, they really are all over the town, including our lunch spot… the Outpost Cafe!

The next time you’re in town, see if you can spot them all!
