    I love this place! After Joanne's closed, I was looking for some fabric and this place is great!!…read more They have lots of sample books you can look through and a lot of clearance fabrics. I was working on a vintage bag and one of the designers helped me pick the perfect fabric for it. Everyone was really helpful and I will definitely be going back.

    I got the chance to visit Mayer Fabrics during their annual "Zero Landfill" event and all I can say…read moreis WOW. Despite being held in their back warehouse, everything was clean and organized, and the staff were very helpful in getting my things weighed and loaded in to my vehicle. The "Zero Landfill" event is designed to put materials donated by local area designers, dealerships, businesses, and sales reps in to the hands of crafters, collectors, artists, etc. to upcycle and/or repurpose discontinued or unused samples of various mediums. Offerings included things such as flooring, framing materials, tiles, and all kinds of fabric - all free. At the end, they weigh your haul and tell you how many pounds of materials you saved from the landfill. I am very pleased with my 120 pounds of velvet squares, curtain panels, carpet squares, and various other goodies that I was able to score. Being a curator of textiles, this event was right up my alley. To hear that almost 12,000 pounds of materials were saved from the landfill just at this event was awesome. I cannot wait to make upcycled pillow covers, table cloths, and who knows what else with my new-to-me beauties!

    I came into the shop looking for Fray Check, which they didn't have. For probably the best reason…read morethat if you properly sew your clothes, you don't need to worry about fray. One of the clerks looked it up for me at Walmart, even gave me the aisle number. All of this was wonderful, but the real reason for the review would be their lovely fabrics. I am the least skilled seamstress that ever existed. I gave up sewing long ago. If someone would have put effort into selling me something, I'd be the fool who'd buy something beautiful to turn it into a three car collision. The most beautiful fabrics.

    I am a sucker for a locally owned / specialty type quilt shop and have been meaning to get in to…read morethe French Seam for a while - but they were never open when I tried! I totally understand that Covid has forced us a lot of businesses to adjust their hours and the way they run - and the French Seam was no exception. Luckily, I had a day off work recently and was able to get in on a weekday during their limited business hours. Let me just say this - they have some gorgeous fabrics. Quilting cottons are separated from the garment fabrics in the small front area and they have a few notions available. I love being able to look through pre-cuts and they had a good selection of fat quarters organized by color in rolling carts available for purchase. I was also told that there was a 'clearance' area in the back/warehouse type area - so I made a break for it (you had me at clearance!). Back there I was able to score a package of fat quarters for $3 (I was told it was because they were 'old' fabrics - but who cares?) and some other pre-cut yardage at a discount. SCORE! Back in the open 'warehouse' type area also appears to be where machines are located and perhaps where classes would be held (pre/post Covid). Of note, I think I may have thrown off the older, more conservative appearing lady working in the store with my appearance when I walked in, but the younger gal working the counter was very sweet. Overall, I was excited for my new-to-me fabrics to add to my stash and glad I got to check the place out as it is SUPER close to where I live.

    Hidden gem alert!…read more My pilgrimage to "Not Your Average Quilter" started with a recommendation from a quilting friend's husband (thank you, Ken N!). I added it to my mental rolodex, bookmarked it on Yelp, and made a note to go visit. Then I heard one of my favorite quilters (the Quilting Cowboy) was shipping a new line - and the only place close to me that had it was NYAQ! I reached out to them via FB messenger and learned that they had 3 bolts of the new "Leaf" line - and then I convinced the hubs to take a road trip with me. Thank GOODNESS for pictures on Yelp, as the map directions had us WAY out of the way. I spotted the "Art Ovation" sign, pointed, and yelled, "There it is!" as we passed it. Hubs pulled a turn around, and we were there. Parking is in the back and we entered at the front in to a little spot noting "Quilt Shop Gifts". We were greeted by THE NICEST lady behind a little counter, and it was obvious that this was the place for locals to be. It was like Cheers for quilters. Others from out of town or out of state entered while we were there, too! SO fun! Back to my quest. So when we asked about the Leaf line, the lovely lady helper walked us to the back to get help from the owner. Let me tell you - Michael was awesome in every sense of the word. Not only was he running things in the back (making color guard flags/uniforms, cutting fabrics), but he also MADE all of the beautiful art quilts that adorn the walls! I was floored to learn he quilted them all on his small domestic machine (he showed us!). WOW. We chatted Michael up a little bit - trying not to distract him from the very busy happenings in the back of the store. Long story short, I am in love with Michael and this business and will come back to support him as much as my quilting budget will allow. For the modern quilters, he carries Tula and Kaffe in yardage and pre-cuts, and the variety of other fabrics is noteworthy. The notions and quilting themed "gifts" were SO fun and I wanted all of the things. Pro tip - if you tell them you will return, they might just give you a reusable bag that you can bring back with you for 10% off your next purchase... just save some Tula for me!

    Another place I found while traveling through Indiana, what a fabulous quilt shop in the middle of…read morethe country fields. I love the fact that it's full of different quilting fabrics, not just items that are everywhere. If you are in the area, it's definitely worth checking out the shop. The staff answered any questions we had and even showed us some of their works in progress!

    OhMyGarsh how have I NOT reviewed my happy place yet? Let's remedy that!…read more Full disclosure, I taught myself to quilt at the start of the pandemic and having a degree in memory piece quilting from YouTubeUniversity is where I got my humble start. I then branched out and dipped my toe in to the vast quilting world and quickly discovered my love of bright colors, modern fabrics, fun patterns, quilt kits, and notions...and Crimson Tate has ALL of these things - and MORE! To say it is like my own personal Disney World would be an understatement - and if you get to see the Crimson Tate mascot (Heather herself) during your visit, your dreams DO indeed come true! Granted, the rest of the staff at Crimson Tate is ALSO amazing and lovely and a perfect kind of special so you are in for a treat regardless. But back to my review. Some may say the space is small - I say it is perfectly cozy with SO much goodness packed in to every corner. Pre-curated bundles and kits to take the guess work out? You betcha! Yardage on bolts? GOT 'EM! Fat Quarters in suitcases? CUTE! Scraps in bags tucked away in the corner armoire? YES! Needlepoint? THAT TOO! Tula, Charley Harper, Anna Maria, Ruby Star, Kaffe, even up-and-coming cool designers - allll the good stuff can be found here. Can't find what you need? Ask the staff! They are more than happy to help and they have given me amazing suggestions on several occasions. They even put up with me when I need a random CT hit and go in to just browse. Located on Mass Ave just across from Bottleworks / The Garage - you can find street parking out front or in the parking garage catty-corner from Crimson Tate. Go visit! Tell them I sent ya!

    TL;DR: Don't order from the online shop. Shop was closed in…read more2025 but online store still shows inventory and accepts orders. I put in a $300 order on March 25th and didn't get an order confirmation email. However, the funds showed as pending on my credit card. I still hadn't heard anything on March 27th, so I reached out to Yellow Door Quilt Store on Facebook Messenger. Received a one word reply: Monday. Monday came and went, and I messaged Wednesday asking if they had shipped. Crickets. I messaged again at the end of Wednesday telling them if I didn't hear from them by end of day Thursday, I was filing a dispute with my credit card. Crickets. Thursday afternoon, today, I saw that they had seen my message in Messenger, and asked, No reply? They immediately responded saying they didn't have the inventory and had cancelled the transaction so no dispute was necessary. I looked at my CC and sure enough, it had been refunded the day previous. I asked why they had said they were shipping Monday, and they answered that they were going to CHECK on Monday, and apologized for not telling me Tuesday that they didn't have the inventory. Close your damn web store.
