Shops at Grannys House Store Information
Welcome to Shops At Granny’s House! Here you can “Bead Happy” and “Live Piecefully”. Shops At Granny’s House opened its doors to beaders and quilters of all ages in 2006. Shops At Granny’s House is owned and operated by a mother-daughter team of Sharon, Jill, and Robin Prater. Shops At Granny’s House is located west of Moravia in a 100 year old farmhouse. Inside you will find a store room lined with shelves of fabric and tables full of beads. The fabric part of the store is called Live Piecefully , which is Sharon and Jill’s area of expertise.

We offer many brand name lines of fabric. Thimbleberries, Moda, Buggy Barn, Timeless Treasure Novelties, Northcott, and Free Spirit are some of our favorite and more popular lines. The fabric is sold as yardage, fat quarters, kits, and charm packs. Along with the fabric, notions, patterns, and books are available for purchase.
At Shops At Granny’s House you can find something for quilters of any age or level. Bead Happy has tables filled with beads of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Robin is the one to see for your beading questions and needs. She can help you put together a bracelet, watch, necklace, earrings, or ring out of glass, stone, wooden, clay or Swarovski crystal beads. There is also a selection of gold and silver findings. Shops At Granny’s House can provide you with everything you need to wear you own design.
The idea for Shops At Granny’s House originated with Robin’s idea to start a bead store in Moravia. She spent her time and money in a bead store in eastern Iowa nearly every weekend before the idea of opening her own store appealed to her. After hearing her idea, Sharon and Jill decided it would be fun to have their own quilt fabric as well. They then turned their grandparent’s old farmhouse into Shops At Granny’s House.
Along with the store room, Shops At Granny’s House also has a fun and brightly colored classroom where classes are available in both quilting and beading ranging from beginning to experienced. Classes are listed on the store calendar. For more information on a specific class give the store a call. Individual classes/lessons are available by appointment. The classroom can also be rented for beading parties for birthdays, bridal showers, get-togethers, or any other fun occasion. So come stop by and see for yourself how much fun you can have at Shops At Granny’s House. Just watch for the blue sign!
