# Prairie Loft

> Quilting supplies and notions for the United States market. We stock the
> consumable half of quilting - rotary blades, cutting mats, cutters, fabric
> markers, pressing mats and quilting clips. We do not sell fabric.

Prairie Loft is an online quilting supply shop. Orders ship from a warehouse in
Ohio, which places most of the United States one to three business days away by
ground. Prairie Loft is a trading name of AKLD GROUP LLC, Miami, Florida.

## What makes us different

- Consumables only. Fabric is bought in person; we stock everything else.
- Depth over breadth: thirty-four rotary blades across 18mm, 28mm, 45mm and
  60mm, in singles and packs of 2, 3, 5, 10 and 20, from five manufacturers.
- Products described by specification, not adjectives: blade size and edge type,
  mat dimensions and whether the surface is self-healing, pack count.
- Unit pricing shown on multi-packs, so cost per blade is visible before you buy.
