Moose Country
Quilting is a small, family run professional quilting business.
Located in Roseville, Minnesota, we are a full-service quilting
business. We offer
quilting, binding, and custom-made quilt services.
Moose Country
Quilting was established to allow the “Mama Moose” to enjoy the
added flexibility of a home-run business.
We are pleased and proud to report that we have completed in
excess of 800 quilt tops since the inception of our endeavor.
In order for you to
better understand and appreciate who we are as a family and business, we
want to share a little bit about ourselves.
Listed below are all the “moose” that play a major role in
the business.
Kristin, the
professional machine quilting artist, has been sewing ever since she was
a little girl. Kristin
started piecing quilts on a regular basis in 1993, quilting smaller
quilts on her Bernina, which she named “Rocky.”
In 1996, Moose Country Quilting was born.
Since then, many of the quilts we have completed have been
entered into quilt shows. Some
of our work has appeared in quilting magazines, and we have done some
quilts for some quilt book authors.
Mike is the
quilter’s husband. While he has quilted some tops on the Gammill himself, his
primary responsibility consists of taking care of all the financial
aspects of running the business. He
also keeps the household running while Kristin ensures that your quilt
is getting the attention that it deserves.
Alex and Rachel are
Kristin’s “runners.” They
keep the workshop area clean, and greet customers as they come to drop
off tops or pick up their finished quilts.
Rachel has just started to learn how to sew and has made two
small quilts to date, and is now working on a third quilt.
Don’t be surprised if a few years down the road, you find
Rachel operating the Gammill machine herself!
Sarah is the
youngest moose in the business.
Her main responsibility is in the quality control department.
She is continually testing the durability of Kristin’s
custom-made quilts on a daily basis.
She also enjoys visiting with the customers who come to drop off
their tops and pick up their finished quilts.
Peggy Hildebrand,
Kristin’s mother, also plays a big role in this business.
She is a former home economics teacher and deserves credit for
teaching Kristin the basic elements of sewing at an early age.
Peggy is also an accomplished quilter and worked for several
years at the well-known Country Peddler Quilt Shop (which has since gone
out of business). She
serves as Kristin’s consultant. She
is often asked for feedback and/or input on quilting suggestions.
She also does piecing and teaching.
If you want personal quilting or binding lessons, Peggy is the
person for you!
