Do you give back to your community? Blue Bar Quilts is your match! They believe in giving back to our community through service. Their shop is home to the Days for Girls Middleton Team, which meets for a workday in our classroom on the second Tuesday of every month from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Days for Girls is an organization that makes and distributes reusable menstrual kits to girls and women worldwide. Blue Bar Quilts is a Project Linus donation drop-off location for finished quilts and blankets. In addition, two Madison-area guilds meet at their shop, Madison Modern Quilt Guild and Madison Contemporary Fiber Artists. Blue Bar Quilts is a welcoming Modern Quilting Community – they invite anyone interested in quilting, sewing, and creating to join!

When Gael was trying to come up with names, she wanted something simple and generic that didn't start with the words quilt, sew or stitch. It wasn't a pun or too cutesy. Several one-word names were rejected when shared with friends and family. Finally, Gael's friend Diana came up with the name Blue Bar in homage to the generic beer cans from the '70s with a blue stripe that fit the criteria. So blue Bar Quilts it was! Many find it humorous that the initials are BBQ, and occasionally, the business gets mistaken for a drinking establishment because of its name.
