I needed a simple pine bookcase for our camp but hadn't been to Patchwork Plus in years. I was amazed at the selection of locally made pieces and....while not a collector...was impressed by all of the quilts, handicrafts, etc. The new owner is what you would hope for....friendly, knowledgeable, and not pushy at all. PP is only 6-7 miles from Belfast....so, make the trip and buy local!
