We offer a wide range of workshops suitable for all abilities. These include workshops in patchwork, quilting, bears and dolls, bags, cushions, stitcheries, and embroidery.

Coast & Country Crafts and Quilts began life as a mobile shop in 2003, when founder Sally Snapes would load her car with baskets of fat quarters and patterns and travel around Cornwall, Devon, and Somerset, making regular visits to village halls and community centres, where she set up shop for crafters and quilters to come and enjoy browsing and shopping at their leisure. In Spring 2008, Coast & Country Crafts and Quilts was also established as an online shop, enabling customers around the globe to shop for all the delightful products that we have to offer at any time.

In December 2009, we opened our new country store opened its doors at Cornish Garden Nurseries, Barras Moor Village, Perranarworthal; between Truro and Falmouth on the A39 (accessed from the big lay-by). Sally, Mary, and Katrina look forward to welcoming you all and helping you to indulge your "quilty pleasures"!

"Seeing Coast & Country Crafts and Quilts into its second decade is a dream come true; being able to work surrounded by beautiful fabrics and patterns, and to see the pleasure it gives our friends/customers when they visit our store and website is really wonderful. My brilliant staff Katrina, Mary and I call it our Happy Place! Happy stitching!" -- Sally Snapes, founder
