Established in 1978, Piecemakers has grown from a tiny quilt shop to a full service construction company and thriving country store which offers gifts, quilts, antiques, fabrics, notions, books and patterns, as well as a cozy tea room and classes to learn every kind of grass roots art and craft imaginable.
In addition to our location at 1720 Adams Avenue in Costa Mesa, California, we have an extensive online store which carries quilt calendars, books, patterns, fine hand sewing needles, hand crafted quilts, home decor and gift items produced by Piecemakers, plus fabrics, silk ribbon, embroidery threads, trims, hand dyed lace, notions and much more.
Our founder, Marie Kolasinski, always had her heart and ear tuned to the needs of the community around us, a wonderfully creative spirit and ability to catch the wind of new ideas, and a firm grasp of the grass roots upon which our nation was built. We at Piecemakers are working to keep our forefathers' vision of America alive and to pass down this precious foundation of grass roots skills to the next generation, hoping to ignite a fire that will birth new ideas, arts, handcrafts, and knit our communities together with a sense of "gemütlichkeit" (atmosphere of comfort, coziness, snugness, peace and acceptance), as Marie always said.
