A Stitch in Time, A Legacy in the Making
Well now, if you’ve wandered down Missouri Boulevard lately, you might’ve seen a little storefront with a whole lotta soul. That’s Countryside Quilts, proudly owned and operated by Countryside General Stores, LLC (CGS Company)—the new trademark holder and official fictitious name registrant with the Secretary of State of Missouri. And sugar, we didn’t just file paperwork—we filed ambition, purchasing power, and a whole new chapter of flair.
This quilting company didn’t start in a fancy showroom. No ma’am. It began in the basement, where Sue Christian first stitched alongside her mama nearly 35 years ago. What started as a family tradition has blossomed into a full-fledged storefront at 2117 Missouri Blvd, Jefferson City, MO, where Sue and her husband James have hauled up their longarm quilting machine and planted roots with purpose.
And honey, we’ve leveled up. Countryside Quilts now boasts a state-of-the-art Nolting Pro 30 computerized quilting machine, giving us precision, speed, and a whole new world of creative freedom. With over 4,000 stitch patterns to choose from, we can quilt everything from classic feathers to modern geometrics—whatever suits your fancy or your fabric.
Inside the shop, you’ll find a rainbow wall of thread, bolts of fabric that’ll make your heart flutter, and finished quilts ready to warm your soul. Customers can bring in their own quilt tops or let Sue work her magic from scratch. Whether it’s a baby blanket or a California King, every quilt is stitched with care, charm, and a touch of Southern grace.
Prices range from $30 for crib-size quilts to $250 for extra-large kings, and Sue’s got a heart as big as her machine—offering payment plans so no one has to choose between prescriptions and graduation gifts. Because here at Countryside, we believe quilting should be accessible, not exclusive.
And if you thought we were just about fabric and thread, bless your heart—we’ve got a whole new sensory experience in store. Introducing the Countryside Scents Collection, featuring over 120 essential oil fragrances designed to elevate your space and soothe your spirit. Paired with our waterless scent diffusers, these aromas bring a touch of luxury and a whole lotta comfort to your home or studio.
Sue and James are still settling into their new rhythm, testing out shop hours and dreaming big. One day, they hope to open a second location in Marshfield, where Sue’s mama lives, and pass the torch to their daughter. Until then, they’re stitching joy into every order—from baby changing pads and burp cloths to T-shirt quilts, bowl cozies, and now, a signature scent experience.
So come on by, darlin’. Whether you’re lookin’ to pick out fabric, commission a quilt, or just soak in the cozy charm, Countryside Quilts is your one-stop shop for warmth, whimsy, and a whole lotta love.
