Local said it's been closed for several years! Don't waste your time!. Shop across the street did have fabric!

Sitka offers a good selection of galleries and shops that are not typical or touristy. Abby's is one of these stores specializing in quilts. Beautiful Alaskan wildlife fabrics, notions, embellishments, kits, books, patterns and some yarns can be found here. Staff are pleasant and helpful. There is also some clothing and souvenirs available for purchase. read more

Abby's Reflection Apparel & Quiltworks - Business card - Fabric Stores Near Me - Sitka, Alaska

Some people like to buy t-shirts and shot glasses while on vacation. Me? I like to buy fabric. You know, something local that I can't find in my own city...something with a little local flavor that I can create when I get home, and make a souvenir with special memories of my trip. Lucky for me, while on a recent cruise to Alaska I happened upon Abby's Reflection. Located on the downtown main street near jewelry stores and other touristy spots, Abby's is part fabric store, part general merchandise, and all heart. Since I didn't have a lot of time to browse, I headed past the fabric to their large wall of patterns and chose an Alaska-themed wall hanging kit with the fabric already laser cut. Yes, that's right, for around $50 (including the finishing kit, which I also bought) I will have a beautiful souvenir of what was a phenomenal, memorable trip. And yes I'll post a pic when I get it done. The staff here are super friendly too - really helpful and they even gave me a free pattern for another project. If I'm ever in Sitka again I'll hopefully have more time to hang out and check out their beautiful fabric, too! read more

I really liked this sweet shop, it was cozy and had fun touristy type clothes plus high quality fabrics. We were traveling so you know how things are a bit unpredictable? I needed to use the washroom and it's probably the only quilt store I have ever been in that didn't have one. However, the kind lady directed me right across the street to the Lutheran church which had a free, fabulous and public washroom. My husband stayed behind in the chair designed for those who don't buy quilt fabrics. The woman who worked there and he chatted about all kinds of things. I bought way too much fabric which is pretty much the norm for me. Only this time I had a cruise and two flights before I got home. So I took my cut fabrics, tablecloth, dishtowel, book and fat quarter bundle up the street to the post office and mailed it all home. It arrived the same day I did. Great fabrics and a nearby way to ship it home, that's my kind of shopping. read more

The lady behind the counter was the worst. I have never been treated so rudely in a quilt shop and I have been in loads. I had two quilting friends with me and they agreed. I had a kit in my hands and put it back. Quilt shops are supposed to be happy places, this one isn't. They did have some cute Alaska themed quilt kits and fabric that was made for them. Just a suggestion that if you deal with the public, leave your bad mood at home. read more

I came in with 5 other people about two weeks ago while at port on my cruise. The shop has lots of great fabric but the person working was quite rude. We had backpacks with us as we were planning on buying a lot of fabric and other items in Sitka. The woman working in the store made numerous comments under her breath and to other customers about what a pain it is when people wear backpacks and that one time someone took out an entire shelf with their back pack. She even told another customer (right in front of us) that she wished people didn't come in with backpacks. After leaving and talking about it we wish we would have left and taken our business elsewhere. 4 starts for the variety of fabric and kits but 0 stars for customer service. I had read there have been problems and thought it had been taken care of but obviously it hasn't. We will be back to Sitka but not so sure about your shop. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this shop. As mentioned in another review, the store is part tourist merchandise and part quilt store...and I found it inviting. They have some unique fabrics, local dyed yarns, and striking Alaskan quilt patterns and kits (and I left there with some of everything!). What I liked best was the friendly staff and the easy conversation I had with them. I could have spent the better part of a day there as I felt so welcome. I would absolutely go back to shop there if I ever find myself in Sitka again. read more

This is a really great quilt store. I was most impressed with their selection of quilt kits. It was so nice to have a large selection of Alaskan themed kits that have all the fabrics included. They have something for each technique and skill level as well as beautiful examples on the walls. This is right across the street from the historic Russian church, which is also a must see. I am so glad I stopped and shopped. read more

Fabric stores seem to be very important in Alaska. The selection of materials here is excellent for a store of modest size. We wanted something that would reflect Alaska and easily found it. We also found two knowledgeable people who could tell us which materials had been designed by locals. If you want to know more about Sitka, this is one place you should check. read more
