Who is Nebraska Quilt Company?

Loren Karen Jax

Nebraska Quilt Company is a premier sewing machine and quilting shop, proudly nestled in Fremont, Nebraska’s Historic Downtown District. Over the years, we have grown and expanded, welcoming visitors from around the world.

When you step inside, you will find thousands of bolts of fabrics, sewing, embroidery and longarm machines, books/patterns, notions, furniture, and event space spread throughout the 37,000 square feet of these turn-of-the-century historical buildings. Our store boasts 24 foot ceilings with exposed original beams, on one side, the original tin ceiling on the other, original wood flooring, the original freight elevator, and antique light fixtures suspended from a partial tin ceiling.

We invite you to come and see this amazing store, meet our great, friendly, and helpful staff, and join our community.
