The best yarn store in the area by far!! They are my dream "local" yarn store! They are an hour…read moreaway from my home but my #1 stop for yarn and place to go when I want to be part of the fiber arts community. They offer so many opportunities for connection from chili cook offs, knit alongs, movie nights, and the recurring Thursday Makers Night, to full on multi-day fiber arts retreats. There is an opportunity for everyone to get together and you will be known by name. The classes are exciting, on trend, and the instructors and shop owners Amy and Nettie will go out of their way to ensure you understand the skills and have a completed project at the end. They even offer private lessons which is a fantastic addition for the homeschooling community and those young or old who are learning a new skill. The yarn offerings are varied from higher end locally hand dyed yarn to more affordable yet still high quality yarn you can envision using for any project. They also offer crafting essentials for knitting and crocheting like needles and hooks, stitch markers, buttons, etc etc etc.

I really don't like to give poor reviews. But I need to do that today. The Stitchery on Regal is…read morethe minimized shop formerly operating as Regal Fabrics and Gifts. I was interested in the long arm quilting service. I looked into the shop first before bringing 3 quilt tops in. The shop is filled with many many custom quilted and embroidered quilts which are lovely. However, they were not quilted by the owner of this shop on her machine. Pretty display, but misleading. I should have paid attention to that detail. When I received my 3 quilts, I was pretty devastated by one of them and very disappointed in the other two. The one had quilting that overlapped and also butted up against the previous row. The backing had a rather large area that was very buckled. I had to hand stitch those down. The large buckles were 9" and 10" long respectively. Plus 4 other areas with 4-5" buckles. A substantial mess and undertaking to try to make this quilt usable. Another quilt had cuddle backing that another master quilter said had been stretched slightly during quilting which resulted in a puffy top. (Once the quilt is removed from the bars, the backing goes back [i.e. shrinks] to its original size which causes the top to puff between the quilting stitches.) The owner tried to say it was my fault because my seams weren't straight and the top wasn't flat. Both untrue as I am a longtime quilter and a confessed perfectionist and I have NEVER had this issue with a quilt in over 20 years. All the quilts had the excess fabric & batting trimmed. Unfortunately she trimmed into the quilt top. Not a lot, but changed the edge enough on a borderless quilt that points were buried in the binding. Big no no for me. I'm giving her 2 stars instead of 1 star because she did refund me the amount I paid for the actual stitching only on all 3 quilts. A more conscientious owner would have refunded the entire amount paid. All fellow quilters know the amount of money, time, love, perfection, and sometimes agony that goes into every precious quilt top. Machine quilters are not all equal! There are lovely machine quilters out there that devote their time and expertise to give you a final product worthy of all the effort you poured into the top. Heartbeat Quilting is one. Just sayin' !!

I have been coming here for a few months and now believe I should NOT have based my previous 5-star…read morereview off a quick first visit. Subsequent shopping trips have not been pleasant, and I'm just sick of the uppity attitudes here. Even though I consistently make pretty decent purchases, I was recenot treated well at all. Rude, short words and a hurry up and get out attitude. Icy, really, and by (someone I believe to be the owner?) at that. I really don't understand this treatment, but I'm honestly not going to worry about it. I just won't be back to shop and will gladly take my business elsewhere. Likely online or just a few more minutes up the road in Spokane Valley. I also recently had two quilts quilted using their new longarm service, and found a lot of horrible mistakes on both the back and front of these quilts (that are gifts). Please see attached photos. These are obviously not able to be redone. Their machine quilting experience is obviously too new to be decent. Last time I was in the shop, the computerized machine was sewing along unmonitored on autopilot. So very likely personal attention to detail is not on their priority list. Sad when working with handmade items that mean so much to the people bringing them in and trusting them to take the utmost care and respect. For a shop that never seems to have anyone else shopping in there every time I visit, they sure aren't winning any repeat customers treating customers or their beautiful handmade work so carelessly. Very disappointing and honestly? Very irresponsible.

Alpaca Direct is a great source for yarn, patterns and good customer service…read more I recently found a pattern I want to make for my great niece. From the yarn manufacturer's web site I could not tell which solid and variegated color looks good with a variegated one. I called AlpacaDirect and was told Kelly was the best one to tell me. I talked to Kelly who pulled the yarn in question with others that coordinate well. She also had a picture of the yarns texted to me so I could see for myself. I ordered the yard and yesterday it arrived at my door. Thank you, Kelly and Jim.

It's a really nice art gallery in downtown Coeur d'Alene…read more They have rotating shows throughout the year, and there's also a nice little gift shop. The only reason this gallery gets four stars instead of five is that it's very small inside, and two of the four walls are windows, so it limits the amount of actual art there is. Compared to other galleries within walking distance, you're going to see less art than you would at another location. The people who work here are friendly and helpful. They also have events outside periodically, like the ink Rally, which is a lot of fun. Definitely worth stopping in and checking it out.
