Old fashioned help in a beautiful, modern fabric shop. These ladies know their stuff-they're passionate about the craft, they offer beautiful fabrics and notions at a comparable cost. I can't wait to go back for my next project! read more

This is such a cute store! I went in looking for flannel fabrics and they had a few bolts of woven flannel, I wasn't expecting them to have any at all so that was nice. Unfortunately none of them worked for my current project but I will definitely be back when I need fabric for other crafts! The person at the counter was very friendly and even told me about another local fabric store that has flannel fabrics. I will definitely be coming back to Picking Daisies for my next project! read more

I went in here on a whim because I saw pretty fabric in the window and wow the selection here was really cool, I even honestly thought I could use it for something really cool. I ended up buying a Bee Embroidery kit, it is really cute. I haven't made it yet but this was a hobby I have really wanted to get back into. Will go back once I finish my project read more

By far the best fabric shop ever! I like to visit local fabric shops when RV glamping.What a beautiful array of fabrics they have acquired for all sewing enthusiasts. They were so kind and helpful as well. Looking forward to next year's visit when in Pismo Beach again! read more

Picking Daisies - Fabric Stores Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I got the crazy idea to sew a king sized christmas quilt for my mom last year... I have zero experience sewing, so I bought a machine and googled quilting shop, Picking Daisies popped up and I loved the name, so I went in with my sister one day. I was so nervous to tell the women in the shop what I was doing/ask for some help because I thought they would tell me that I wouldn't be able to do it... I was so wrong! The women here were so helpful! They spent over an hour helping me pick out my background fabric, backing fabric, giving me tips and tricks on how to make my project do able. (Plus they had extra background fabric for every time I made some cutting errors :) They even sent us to different stores when they didn't have the supplies we needed in their shop! With their help I was able to make my first sewing (& quilting) project a king size quilt, my mom still talks about how surprised she was and how much she loves the quilt! I have since brought the quilt into the shop to show the women who helped me, and brought my aunt who is an avid quilter and came to visit us in SLO this January... after visiting Picking Daisies, she asked "can we come here every year?" It was a highlight of her trip! So thank you, thank you Picking Daisies for everything, I will be back again and again! read more

Picking Daisies - Fabric Stores Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

This small quilt shop is a hidden gem! They have a beautiful array of fabrics. Everyone who works there was very friendly and helpful. There were so many beautiful things to look at. I spent way more time than I thought I would when I first walked in. They make and sell dinner napkins that are simply gorgeous! They also sell kits so you can learn to make your own. The prices were a good value too. If you're a quilter or simply love, beautiful fabric don't miss this shop! read more

They started by doing napkins, and still have a stunning selection available. I've taught people to sew using their napkin kits, which make it all very straightforward and satisfying. They're also a very good quilt shop, with modern and inventive fabrics. And they're getting more and more really good clothing fabrics, not a huge selection but all of it very interesting. They also have a good array of indie sewing patterns for your instant gratification needs. And should you be lacking inspiration you can almost always just look at what great creations the sisters are wearing today. I have several 'Daisy shirts' that started that way :-). They've also been prudent in protecting their customers in covid times, and made it easy to get a crafty fix without feeling like you have to die over it, much appreciated in these turbulent times. read more

Love this shop. Such a good variety of fabrics and lovely napkins for every occasion great selection of Japanese fabrics along with patterns for modern and interesting clothing. read more

This is the cutest little local shop! They have amazing napkins here, and other goods like quilts. I adore these napkins! The wash easily, they never wrinkle, they are the perfect size, and they sell them online! I was so happy to see that they sell them online, because when I moved away I was sad! They have such a huge collection of fabric and stuff. But trust me you can't go wrong with their napkins. read more

Picking Daisies - Fabric Stores Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

They were very helpful in picking coordinating fabrics. Their fabric choices made is hard to choose, absolutely wonderful inventory !

I found this cute shop by going to Joliene's bakery (also in the Creamery). Joliene's has the cutest napkins and when I asked where they got them she told me Picking Daisies! I LOVE when local businesses support each other! So I stopped by today and the women there were so kind and accommodating to my needs. I can't believe they've been here for 13 years and I've only learned about them now! I don't sew, but they make me wish I did. They have an amazing variety of fabrics and several sewing patterns for sale. They also cater to the quilting community so if you fall in that group I'm sure you would appreciate this store. They are currently making some cocktail napkins for me and soon I will be ordering some dinner napkins once I decide which prints I want. I love finding fantastic local shops to support- please stop in and see what they have to offer! read more

Such a great shop! It was featured in Quilt Sampler magazine (fall 2019) and when we were vacationing up the coast I thought I'd pop in. I bought some fabric and some handwork. They carry Dropcloth items which is a rare find and treat! When I got home I realized I made an error in not buying a complete kit of a project I liked. I just bought the main piece. I emailed the owners and they emailed me the info I needed! Kindness seems to be rare these days, but I found it here. read more

We stopped in here years ago on a trip to Cayucos and bought some of their wonderful napkins. Every time we use them reminds us of that great store and trip. They've held up spectacularly over the years, keeping their color and resisting stains. Just ordered a dozen new ones for the holidays and they arrived quickly and look just as great as the last ones. This time we ordered the Kaffe Fassett Collection Chaff Collective 2020, Enchanted in Cobalt. The colors are rich and beautiful and the pictures on the website don't do them justice. read more

A lovely small shop run by people who care and give great advice. Large collection of cotton fabrics.

Cute quilt shop with well-curated collection of fabrics, patterns and projects. Would give them even more stars if they had a bigger space to share even more fabric fabulousness!! read more

Picking Daisies is the best! Kay couldn't be any sweeter. I got married in Paso Robles last June and rented my napkins from Picking Daisies and couldn't have been happier. I was able to pick the ones I wanted and even purchased the one my husband and I used and just returned the others. I got the colorful, eclectic look I wanted and it was so affordable. I will be back many, many times. read more

I've only interacted with this business via the web, but they were so excellent I wanted to write a review about their operation here on Yelp. I found out about Picking Daisies through the Joy the Baker's blog (www.joythebaker.com). I also attend an event with Joy where one of the party favors was a set of napkins from Picking Daisies. They are BEAUTIFUL, fun, and a great conversation starter. The prints are super unique and totally fun. So after utilizing the napkins for several months, I was set on utilizing Picking Daisies for some Christmas Gifts. It's hard for me to get up to SLO from LA, so I used their website. I selected a number of napkins, but I also found some other great items- bags, placemats, aprons, etc. I settled on buying two reversible bags from my in-laws as holiday gifts. I got to pick the fabrics myself, which added a nice custom touch. Again, their fabric selection is AWESOME. The prints are unique- you won't find anything like them at JoAnn's- and they feel super high-quality. I placed my order and got immediate confirmation of the purchase. They arrived neatly packaged with ribbon and a candy cane for the holidays. I am thrilled and am going to have to remind myself that these items are GIFTS and not for my personal collection :) I'll definitely be returning to Picking Daisies in the future! read more

Looking for unique, locally made gifts? Look no further. DeDe and Kay have one of the cutest boutiques in SLO, I kid you not. Not only is the store really cute, these girls are so helpful and sweet. I love their handmade cloth napkins. Last year my two best friends received hand-made aprons from this store for Christmas. This year, maybe handmade cocktail napkins? This is my "go to" for special gifts for friends and family. Staying local with my dollars is a priority, if its important to you, too, this is your place. read more

We already had eight of Picking Daisies' napkins from a visit to SLO last year, and we tried to stop by the shop on our last visit and found them closed. However, we saw through the window that they had some really cool new fabrics, so we decided to just look online when we got home. We found several gorgeous fabric choices, and ended up buying a set of all the colors of the "plum rose" pattern. Kathy emailed a thank you upon getting our order, and told us approximately when they'd ship. She then emailed us again when they shipped with a tracking number, and we received them a few days later. The entire online shopping experience was professional and attentive, everything I hope for when making a purchase online. The new napkins are so pretty, we're excited to have more dinner parties to show them off! We love Picking Daisies' linens, they're so well-made, soft, durable...everything a napkin should be (including multi-colored to hide stains!) I have my stack of non-Picking Daisies napkins shoved into the back of the napkin drawer, only to be brought out after we've run out of clean PD napkins. read more

Loved my experience! Staff were friendly and very helpful but not overbearing, they had a nice selection, and my purchase even came with a little mint in the bag! Would recommend and buy from again! read more

I went to my friends house for dinner and she had these beautiful soft napkins with cute prints instead of paper napkins. Naturally, I needed to get some. Not only do they save you from paper napkins but they have the cutest prints. My friend has had her napkins for a few years and they have held up well. They also make a great house warming or wedding present! read more

Great little quilt shop. It sits back from the road and they are working in front, but you can find it. Lots of inspiration.

Amazing one of a kind fabrics!!! The owners are wonderful. I bought a sewing machine there after they let me try out their models and encouraged me to try the models another store had. I got a free lesson to learn how to use it. read more

This store is a must see....and EVERYTHING is hand made. At first it was great for gift ideas...now I cant get enough of the items for my own home. The owners, who are 2 local sisters, are always on site, and really love what they do. And conveniently, they have an online store as well. San Luis Obispo needs more businesses like this one!!!! read more

Delightful quilt shop. Small but nice variety. Helpful, friendly staff. Nice bench in the shade outside and ice cream shop in same plaza. Will return next visit to SLO. read more

I love this store and recommend it to all of my friends as a fun, unique, SLO local source for hostess gifts, birthday gifts, Easter gifts, Mother's day treat, friend in from out of town gift, you name it gift. The service is always top notch and friendly. The napkins ARE something to write home about. They wash and wear so well! I use mine several times a week and because they wash and fold so well I don't have to iron them and they still look crisp! So glad this shop is in my backyard. read more

Very cozy fabric store tucked into the Creamery. Here you'll find an eclectic assortment of quality cotton fabrics on bolts sold by the yard, as well as pre-made napkins in all sorts of colors and prints. This shop also stocks patterns and some notions as well as books and offers classes to teach you how to make their napkins. Staff is very warm and friendly and anxious to help you find what you are looking for. Quilts on the wall provide inspiration as do the sample garments on mannequins. I especially liked the fabric selections as I can always find something interesting and unique on each visit. Fabric prices are as expected for a boutique, about $12/yd. read more

A business built on fabric napkins? You might be skeptical, but that would all go away when you walk into the store. Kay and Dede (the owners) are so genuinely nice and have obviously worked hard on perfecting their craft. With the product neatly hung in rows, the way the space invites you in and convinces you to throw a dinner part is really quite amazing. I would recommend Picking Daisies to anyone seeking an alternative to disposable napkins; the product ranges from subdued to vivacious and can fit into any decorating style. And bonus, fabric napkins make meals way more fun! read more

The owners of this store produce the highest quality, most artistic napkins (and more!), and are a great asset to San Luis Obispo, CA. The napkins I purchased were made from high quality fabrics that boasted a pattern that was perfectly suited to my event. I am continually impressed by the craftsmanship of the products offered at Picking Daisies, and I cannot urge you enough to go and check them out for yourselves. read more

This shop has a nicely curated selection of designer quilting fabrics. I picked up a few yards of a gorgeous Alexander Henry Pima cotton floral print. Very friendly service. read more

Adore this shop and Kay and Dede are wonderful! I enjoy getting napkins here as gifts for friends, usually as a wedding gift :) I highly recommend this shop! read more

I am writing this review as I am folding napkins I probably bought 8 years ago...they are all perfect, the fabric designs are still amazing, and i use them all on a daily basis...Thanks Dede...best buys I have ever made...and they still make me happy every day....xoxo read more

This store makes me happy. Just imagining a successful business based on sewing napkins in an amazing assortment of patterns and colors! Why didn't I think of that? Okay, I actually make my own napkins. We try not to use paper napkins or paper towels at home. So actually I mostly window shop here. However, I bring visitors to this shop and they love it and they buy stuff. They also show local art which changes every month or 2. It goes well with the napkins and other handmade items. Really a fun place to go, especially if you are a fabric nut. read more

Perfect spot for the modern quilter with a well curated selection of fabrics.

This is a fantastic shop for picking up special gifts especially for friends and loved ones who like to entertain and invite you to join them for special meals! I'm also building my own collection of fun, unique cloth napkins by stopping by whenever I'm in that part of town and browsing new patterns. The owners are helpful, friendly and have the creative eye for coordinating assortments! read more

The owners of this adorable fabric/quilt shop are incredibly kind and helpful. My daughter fell in love with a fabric line that they carry. Kay helped her order four bolts of fabric so that she could have the napkins at her wedding made out of the fabric. Dede was helpful teaching us how to go about making the napkins and even offered her space to cut the fabric. We visited their shop many times and each time they were gracious and helpful. Love these ladies! read more

I love this wonderful local quilt shop: unusual fabrics, fabulous quilt and design books, and an incredibly helpful staff of two sisters! Plus they offer an ever changing display of locally created quilts, interesting classes and unique clothing patterns. Service is of the highest order...when the quilting handbook I wanted was sold out, they immediately ordered it for me, no deposit, just goodwill and trust that I would return to claim it. Bravo to the best little quilt shop in SLO! read more
