Around the Block

Jennifer HabeckerOwner

309 E. Main St., Palmyra, NY 14522
Phone 315-502-0026

Around the Block is a full service quilt shop located on the Main St of the quaint, historic town of Palmyra, NY. You can always find Jenn Habecker, owner, at the shop ready to help. She has been quilting for over 20 years. Connection has been a big part of what she has loved about quilting. She learned how to quilt from her husband’s grandmother, Loretta, who was a master quilter. Loretta believed in quilting by hand, so Jenn often wonders what she would think about the Longarm services offered at her shop. Around the Block is a family affair – you will often find Jenn’s mom, Kathy, at the shop with her running the longarm. Stop by for a visit or call to schedule a private shopping experience with friends. Jenn also loves visiting all of the quilt guilds and is happy to travel (as most quilters are).
