In the heart of Helena, Prickly Pear Quilts is a creative haven built by owner Connie Roope, who envisioned a place where makers could gather, learn, and feel inspired. Located in a woman owned shopping center, PPQ blends Montana’s beauty with the warmth of a community quilt/sewing/craft shop.

Inside, you’ll find an extensive selection of batiks, modern and vintage chic fabrics, and top collections from FreeSpirit, Art Gallery, Hoffman Fabrics, Riley Blake, Moda, and more. The shop also offers notions, hand dyed wool, books, and patterns for quilting, sewing, and cross stitch.

PPQ’s vibrant classes and events bring sewists of all levels together, while its certified PFAFF, JUKI, and Baby Lock dealership and repair center provide trusted support for every machine owner.

Prickly Pear Quilts is more than a store — it’s a place where creativity thrives, friendships form, and the spirit of Montana is stitched into every project.
