"I just traveled to Forest Lake last Thursday for the first
time. I didn't have much time to sight see but did want to visit a quilt
shop. I did so during the thunder showers on Friday evening. My
mother-in-law and I visited the new location of Silver Lane Quilting and found
some great fat quarters & a kit for a small baby quilt. The store was
very neat and clean with some great quilts displayed on the walls. The
staff was very professional and helpful. I only wish I had more time to
take a class or two. One can tell that there is a lot of pride that
goes into the preparation each and every day. Thank you for making our
visit a great one! We will return, when we come back to Minnesota."

"Elaine is a very hard-working store owner. She gives great advice and has the patience to assist even the slightly color challenged, like myself, pull together wonderful quilt color combinations. Love the way she has arranged the store's bolts of fabric by color for ease in selecting complimentary and/or contrasting shades."

"I was putting together the 2007 twin cities shop hop quilt top, I came upon a block that was short of fabric. I showed Elaine and here, that dear lady found the fabric I needed and refused to take any money, even though it was not her shop that made the error!! She replied “You are one of my customers and I will always be glad to help you in a panic.” Now that is a shop I will always patronize. What a blessing for our community!!"

“Silver Lane Quilting epitomizes all that is good in a quilt shop: great customer service, a wonderful and well displayed fabric area and superb classes with extraordinary teachers. Silver Lane is the type of place that makes you feel welcome...like coming home at Christmas...or curling up with your favorite quilt. At Silver Lane I am not just a customer....I am a friend...”

“Silver Lane is by far the best customer service Quilt Shop I have been in. No where else can you take a class, have a great teacher and lunch to go along with the class. Each time I have shopped at Silver Lane I have been greeted with a warm welcome. Many a time, I have been looking for a fabric to add to my project and have been able to find it or get the help needed to find just the right thing at Silver Lane. The shop hours are great and if I just happen to be running late I know a quick call and they will stay open for that last minute need. The shop also offers great sale items and coupons."
