Welcome to Shades of the Past Quilt Shop located in Clara City Minnesota

We are a primitive quilt shop located in an old motel building that lies in the southwestern part of Minnesota on the crossroads of the prairie about one mile east on MN-Hwy 23 from the MN-Hwy 23/MN-Hwy 7 junction.

  We specialize in wool, woolfelt & Moda fabrics and have numerous patterns designed here in the shop under the name of Pastthme Patterns.


Regular Shop Hours:
Monday - Friday  10am - 5pm
Saturday  10am - 3pm
Sunday - CLOSED

We have extended hours each year during Quilt Minesota which runs from August 3 - August 18 and the Art Meander which runs the first weekend in October.  Those are the only times of the year we are open 7 days a week and have longer hours than posted above.  If you are planning a stop during one of those event periods check back for extended hour postings!!
