Local Quilt Shops/ Brick and Mortar

A community space and fiber arts store located in Newport, PA, carrying a variety of supplies and materials, focusing on specialized items exclusively available to independent yarn and fabric shops. Select classes for a growing list of fiber disciplines, including quilting, sewing, crochet, knitting, and embroidery. I love the welcoming feel and thoughtfully curated collection of the shop. Kaitlin, the owner, has outstanding knowledge and is extremely helpful for guidance on any stitching project.

A small, family-operated dry good and fabric shop focused on traditional fabrics from various manufacturers. Offerings include basic sewing notions, cotton and calico prints, wide backings, garment fabric, fleece, flannel, minky and batting by the yard. This is a no-frills old-fashioned shop with a great selection of basics at a can’t beat price. I love the large selection in each color of the rainbow and purchase a lot of basic background and backing fabrics here.
