My infatuation with quilting began at a young age recreationally putting together squares. As I grew so did my dedication and involvement in the quilting community. Over the years I have had the opportunity to be part of many groups and learn from some wonderful teachers. When I met Maureen Forester my life and quilting goals were changed forever. It is thanks to her mentoring and support that I became a teacher and went on to teach at several fabric shops.
Throughout my career as a quilter I always dreamed of opening my own shop and sharing my passion and love of quilting with the rest of the community. In April 2011, my dream has come true with me opening my own store – Nina’s Quilt Barn. The vision behind the store was to incorporate my love of country decor including roosters, warm colors, and just an overall feeling of welcomeness and to provide quilters with a home away from home offering all varieties of fabric, machines, supplies, notions, and patterns that reflect all types and tastes. We also will be holding many classes perfect for all different skill levels.
I am very much excited about all of this and I very much am looking forward to sharing this excitement with you!
Hi Nina:
Congratulations on your new shop. I’ll be in soon to look over your vast amount of patterns and fabrics.
I really want to take the beginners quilt class. I had no idea the shop was opening and am going to have to pass on this month’s class. Will you have one starting in June? How much is the class? I can’t tell on the website. As an added note, I looked for a store address on the website and couldn’t find one. (Tell me if I am dense). I found it on yellow pages..
Thanks
Pat Pruuel
Nina,

The Parking is in the rear on Vanderbilt
Nina has the best service! Thank you Nina!
Congratulation! And all the best. It’s wonderful that you could follow your dream.
Loved the interview you gave to the Daily Breeze
I love the cozy feel of your store and everyone is so helpful and friendly! I have posted your site on my Facebook Page.
Love the new look of the website. Can’t wait to see the upcoming classes. I am visiting in NY and still log in to see what’s up with you.
We’ve lost so many many quilt stores recently (sorry to see them all leave). After taking a class with Nina prior to the opening of her store, I was wondering where quilters in the immediate area would come to quilt. Lucky for us Nina’s Quilt Barn arrived just in time to save the day! The staff at the Barn shows nothing short of being an immediate family member, the classes inspire and with the staffs help your creative juices begin to flow.
Thanks to our new found friends at the Barn
Nina, thank you so much for the time you spent with my daughter Niki the other day! She had such a great time and can’t wait to come back and learn more about sewing and quilting. She just finished her doll and is so happy! We just moved here a couple of weeks ago,you and all the women there, made us feel so welcome. I am looking forward to coming back soon, maybe even I will try next time! Thanks again, and please tell all of the women there it was a pleasure meeting them and hope we will see you all again soon.
Nina- Congratulations on the success of your store!!!!!
Nina- Congratulations on the success of your store!!!!! Hope You have many more years of success and creativity.
Hi Nina, I love your website. You are the most genuine, beautiful person, with such a creative mine. God bless you and your family and of course your business. I can’t wait to get on my feet again so I can drive over and myself over and purchase what I want. Lol lol. Love ya much, see ya soon!
Hi Nina:
So glad I came in to see you yesterday. As you remember, I brought my embellishment project in, needed your advice about what to add to it. I did follow your advice and result was perfect. Thanks so much. By the way, you asked me what I used pellon for. It was for the 10 Christmas stockings I made (Judy C’s Class). Thanks again for being there.

Hi Nina,
I’m so glad you have this great quilt shop ! I’ve moved from San Diego where quilting shops
were few and far between. I was able to visit your shop recently, and loved the fabrics and the
classes you’ve started. Being in El Segundo, I’m glad your shop is near by. Can’t wait to start
quilting again, and have a place to sew thats away from the house for a little “me” time : )
Thank you!
HI Alice,
Thank you so much for visiting the shop and cant wait for you to start quilting again
looking forward to seeing you
Nina
