Coast and Country Crafts and Quilts was started as a mobile shop by Sally Snapes in 2004. She travelled around Cornwall, and occasionally into Devon & Somerset. Sally made regular visits to village halls & community centres, where she “set up shop” for crafters & quilters to come and enjoy browsing and shopping at their leisure. In spring 2008, Coast and Country Crafts and Quilts also established an on-line shop, enabling customers to shop at anytime for all the delightful products that we have to offer.
In December 2009 our new Country Store, Coast and Country Crafts & Quilts, opened it’s doors at Perranarworthal, between Truro and Falmouth in Cornwall.
Over the years, the business expanded and by 2015 we had taken the whole building, holding more stock and running regular groups and workshops in our own private teaching space. These sessions were always filled with fun and laughter, providing a space for connecting with others and a way to learn new skills and pass on hints and tips for life as well as sewing.
2025 saw Sally make the difficult decision to close the physical shop in order to semi retire and so, as from June 14th 2025, the business now operates online only. We still offer the same high standard of service and will continue to supply you with products and advice. We are only ever an email or phone call away.
Coast and Country Crafts and Quilts specialise in craft & quilt patterns from around the world, with all the accessories you will need to complete them. We also sell a delightful range of gorgeous fabrics, books, kits, notions and novelty buttons, threads and wire hangers of many shapes and sizes.
We offer a fast and efficient mail order service; if the item is in stock we aim to dispatch it within 48 hours, or order it for you from our wholesalers if the item is out of stock.
There will be workshops and pop up shops locally so to keep updated about where and when, please subscribe to our weekly email newsletter to keep you informed and inspired. Sign up on the bottom of any page of our website.
In the meantime if you have any questions, please call us on 01872-870478 or email sally@coastandcountrycrafts.co.uk
We look forward to serving you in the future.
Best Wishes & Happy Stitching
Sally Snapes and the team
