The Empire State

Welcome to New York!
SOME POINTS OF INTEREST NOT TO BE MISSED:
Everyone knows about the big New York tourist attractions like the Statue of Liberty, Broadway, the various museums, etc. just to name a few. But I wanted to give a few suggestions of some lesser known attractions I think you’ll enjoy. Welcome to New York!
- the American Folk Art Museum in New York City – wonderful textile collection!!
- Kykuit: the Rockefeller Estate – INCREDIBLE gardens!!
- New York Old City Hall Transit Station
- George Eastman Museum in Rochester – especially if you’re a lover of photography and film!
- the Met Cloisters – there’s just nothing like it!
- Storm King Art Center – a huge outdoor sculpture museum in New Windsor
GET READY TO SHOP HOP!
There are several ways (and excuses) to visit these awesome quilt shops. Many of them participate in the Row by Row Experience, now known as the Quilters Trek. You can learn more, and plan your trip by visiting their website HERE.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE QUILT SHOPS!
No matter which part of the state you visit, there’s sure to be a Quilt shop near by. Here is the most up to date list of active quilt shops in New York.

Wow, fantastic list. Thank you!
In NY I used to go to a quaint little shop called Ivy Thimble, not sure if it’s still in existence, but if it is it would be a great shop to add to your must visit shops in NY.
Sadly, I can’t seem to find any evidence that this store is still open. 🙁
It was sold and became Pieceful Seams
Sew Sewcial in Norwich, NY. Bettyanne Jansen, the owner, is one of the most talented and generous quilters you will ever meet. In addition to fabric and notions, she offers long arm services.
Thank you so much Lisa for letting me know about this great shop!!
It’s actually SaratoGa Springs (with a “g”)- easily confused with the above listed Sarasota Springs. Hopefully that helps those who are looking!
Oh my goodness. I can’t believe I made that mistake. Thank you so much for catching it! I’ve corrected the list. 🙂
You forgot a few Northern New York shops:
Hammond, ny Pheonix Fabrics
Watertown, ny Quaint Country Corner
Canton, ny Celtic Knot
Wynter Haven in Queensbury is no longer in business
Thank you for the information, we will update the list now! We are sad to see the shop go
The owner of Stash Away Quilt Shoppe, Lynn Robinson, in Rome NY passed away over a year ago. The shop was closed in August 2022. We miss her terribly.
We are so sorry to hear about her passing, that is devastating. We will update the list now.
