About Us

We are a specialised patchwork and quilting shop in the centre of Perth. We stock a large range of cotton fabrics from many different fabric companies across the globe and many other materials such as calico, muslin, Aida, fleece, linen mixes, flannels and wadding. We carry a good selection of threads, buttons and ribbons and an extensive range of haberdashery. We hope to inspire with our books, patterns and samples dotted around the shop.

We started the shop in 2011 and have been expanding and increasing the stock ever since. We welcome suggestions from our customers for any new and exciting products to source and to stock, so please tell us if there is anything in particular you would like.

We hope to welcome you soon!
