Home of the finest grown quilts!

"The Quilt Shop Ladies" 

Located in Merrill, Oregon, (20 miles SE of Klamath Falls, OR and on the road to Reno, NV) Tater Patch Quilts is truly a quilter’s oasis.  Staying true to the local area’s agricultural roots, the store makes its home in a lovely agricultural community.  Co-owners Diane McKoen & Robin King decided at church over coffee that they would open a quilt shop. 

The store opened its doors in September of 1996 in its original location in downtown Merrill with only 500 bolts of fabric.  In September of 2001, the shop had grown out of its space.  They relocated down the street, a little out of town in an old farmhouse and now in their current at 109 E. Front Street in downtown Merrill where they currently have over 4000 bolts of various fabrics.

Tater Patch Quilts pride themselves in having SOMETHING for EVERYONE!  Ranging from children’s prints, flannels, Contemporary prints such as Amy Butler & Kaffe Fasset, to batiks and Western themes.  We are MODA-HOLICS featuring one of the largest selections in Oregon!  The friendly staff will be more happy to help you with whatever you may need.  Looking for a kit?  You have found the place.  Pick from our ample pre-made selections or  let us customize one just for you! 

When you visit make sure you sign up for the newsletter to keep you posted on all the exciting things going on at Tater Patch.  They offer classes of varying levels and techniques to suit anyone’s interests.  Tater Patch offers a great learning environment for beginning quilters to feel at ease instead of overwhelmed.  Their new classroom has all the space you need.  It also offers experienced quilters with a place to share their projects and perfect their technique.  If you are looking to get away, have some fun, and sew, they offer 2 quilting retreats a year.  These retreats are a great way to have an exciting weekend and get something accomplished!  Something unique that they offer is Quilt Treats (mini retreats for just your group.)  The group just reserves the classroom and the Tater Patch Staff will teach a class or just utilize the great space to finish some of your UFO’s.  Need lodging?  We can assist with that also.

Tater Patch quilts believes that it very important to be a part of their community.  They know that cancer affects so many people on one-way or another.  Each year Tater Patch Quilts sponsors a Breast Cancer Challenge.  Each person who participates makes a wall hanging and a 12 in quilt block.  The blocks are made into a quilt, which is then raffled off to raise money for cancer research.  The wall hangings are part of a traveling trunk show to promote breast health and cancer awareness.  They also hang in the local cancer treatment center.

September 11th has touched everyone in one-way or another.  After the tragedy struck the women at Tater Patch were quick to respond with Operation Quilts for Troops.  Colors of red, white, and blue were piece together building quilts that fit onto the troop’s cots.  This way they could carry a piece of home with them.  Over 5600 of these quilts stitched with love have been given to troops fighting overseas. 

Tater Patch Quilts has something of offer every one of different ages and backgrounds.  Every level of quilting experience is welcome.  The classes and retreats offered are a wonderful way to learn new techniques and meet new friends.  If you’ve never experienced country quilting at Tater Patch Quilts, make sure you come soon!  It will be worth your while.  Oh, yes, and the coffee is always on!

Since we moved – Darla has been grumbling about a few stragglers – bolts of fabric she doesn’t know where to put, even some notions, books or patterns that are in her way.  So she decided to pick a few for a 50% discount!  But remember- only available on Wednesday’s!
