Customer Reviews
"I ordered some fabric that I couldn't find in my local area and found it in a number of shops where I could get it online. Patched Works had the best combination of fabric + shipping price of the several sites where it was available. Good service, great communication, and the fabric came with a surprise free paper pattern and QR Code to their youtube channel. Very nice! I would definitely choose them again!"
"This store is so great! They have lots of beautiful fabrics in all styles and the staff is so friendly. I first visited in December while in town visiting my mil and it was my first stop on this visit because they’re just so welcoming. They have a decent selection of precuts scattered throughout the store as well as notions and patterns which are perfect to pick up as souvenirs each visit. As a younger quilter I am sometimes talked down to when I visit a quilt shop but the employees here are always so friendly and encouraging. They have a good parking lot and are easy to find even for an out of towner like myself. I can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in the area to pick up more fabric for the stash!"
"This is a fantastic quilt shop with every imaginable fabric you can think of. The owner and employees are friendly, knowledgeable, professional and very helpful. They have a huge inventory of high quality quilting fabrics, kits and everything you need to make your project a success. Plenty of parking, easy to access, well lit, great displays for inspiration. Highly recommended, well worth the trip."
