DAYTON - There is a new quilt shop at 218 West Main Street in Dayton, called Quilts & More.

Owner Joanne Marble is placing the emphasis on "more," because along with quilting material and supplies, she is offering for sale antiques, pottery, China, a line of dips from Carmie's Kitchen in Texas, "and much more," she said.

Marble and her husband Richard have recently chosen Dayton to call home. They have lived mainly in eastern Montana and, more recently, in Hawaii, with several moves abroad over the past few years.

The Marbles became familiar with Dayton in the mid-90s when Richard did some construction work for the owner of the Purple House B&B. They purchased a home in Dayton two-and-a-half years ago, she said.

"We've really enjoyed it here. Everyone is friendly, and it's not as cold as Montana," Marble said.

The Marbles bought the 6,000 square foot building at 218 West Main Street in October.

Marble said that Quilts & More will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesdays and Thursdays, and will stay open longer for special events.
