This shop is open and airy. They carry fabrics , patterns and supplies for quilting, as well as embroidery, knitting and crochet supplies. The greatest items in stock were the many Featherweight singer sewing machines and supplies for maintaining and use of these machines. I haven't seen such a collection of Featherweight supplies outside of a quilt show vendor!! read more

The staff is so pleasant and knowledgeable. I bought my feather weight sewing machine from Roxanne's. It was so fun. They shared in my excitement. The fabric selections are like a candy store for me. I love the full lines of fabric she buys. Fits my personal taste to a tee. I live almost 5 hours away so I go twice a year. We vacation in Santa Barbara and I go to Roxanne's for several hours each time we go. It's fabulous. U guys !! Jeanne read more

Incredible selection. Staff is super helpful. There is something for everyone here. Conveniently located for locals and a great place to stop by when driving through on the 101. read more

So much to look at with quality quilting cottons and high end yarns. They have two walls full of notions too. Very colorful and cute shop.

I used to sew. I used to crochet and even knit, but life happened along the way, and ALL that fell to the wayside. Fast forward to now... I happened to find this shop on a search for Carpenteria gift shops as something to do on our recent road trip up to Cambria. When I saw that they are part fabric and knitting shop, along with gift shop, and when I saw how cute and colorful it is, along with 5 star reviews, well, I thought, let's see what this is all about. All's I gotta say is that it was everything I had hoped it'd be, and even though I walked out empty-handed (THIS time), I was super impressed with the adorable gift-type items, knick-knacks, and everything in between. The store was beautifully decorated. It was colorful, inviting and enticing, and it had a huuuuuge selection of fabrics and things related to sewing. Now that I'm retired, I have nothing in my way to returning to sewing again. I even still have my Singer sewing machine from when I turned 16. It's now an antique... just like I am. LOL Roxanne's is not that far away, so I can easily make a return trip to buy something... and will !! read more

The shop had the most Kaffe fabric I have ever seen! They also have kits and ideas on how to use it. There is so much to see that I couldn't do it in 1 hr. The fabric, the notions, the embroidery and the small gifts were just so wonderful! The only drawback is this: the staff was very friendly but they did not go out of their way to answer any questions. When I asked about a certain kit (@$290) the sales woman said, "The kits are over there." So was I supposed to open the kit and find out the specifics? I decided not to buy any kits. They lost a $700 sale because I was willing to buy three kits. Other than that, the shop is beautiful and happy. read more

Wow! There were so many items to look at I am sure that I missed quite a few items even though I took my time looking in each room. That just means that I will have more to discover on my next visit. I went in mainly to look at the fabric selection, but there are a number of gift items as well as yarn and supplies for knitting and crocheting. The fabrics were bold, bright, and beautiful. The quilts on display were fun to look at and I saw a few that I would like to make. Although the shop is filled within there is plenty of space for walking around without bumping into anyone. I can see that others mentioned that they weren't greeted or checked in on as they were looking around the shop. I had the same experience, but when I went to get my fabric cut the staff was efficient and friendly. I didn't take any photos. I was too busy looking at and thinking about what I could make with all of their fabric! read more

Amazon and fun place to shop, they have everything a girl could want in the way of supplies, fabrics, notions etc Wonderful and helpful staff that went above and beyond to make my service a nice experience. read more

Free Christmas tree skirt patten will be enjoyed! Highly recommend a visit or two with extra time and money. So much you want to buy read more

Roxanne's is an amazing place to visit. They've been in business since 1982 (40 years). One of the best shops I've come across in all my quilt shop travels. I loved the way the store was laid out. I honestly spent several hours exploring, and I found it to be beyond charming. The ladies working the store were very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. There's so much to this store from the fabric and notions to the featherweight machines in one of the back rooms. There's a section for people who enjoy knitting or crocheting (a wonderful assortment of yarns), and an area for wonderful treasures to purchase as gifts. They had a rack with an assortment of all types of greeting cards reasonably priced. I felt like it was a bit of heaven. The only thing it needed was a Home Depot next to it, so the husbands have a place to go (ha ha). Ladies don't bring your husbands because you'll want to take your time exploring this amazing store. I was sad to hear that the owner is getting ready to retire. I really hope that someone wonderful will purchase the store and keep it just the way it is. It's just that bit of heaven on earth that we all need. Thank you to the wonderful staff for making my experience so wonderful. read more

This store is the best.. the Staff are so helpful. Roxanne has a great selection of fabric, notions, knitting, and much more. I was able to find the perfect fabric for a special quilt I'm working on. If you have the time please check our this store.. Very special place... read more

This was a pretty sweet little shop. They have a little bit of everything. I just stopped in for my obligatory vacation stop at a local quilt shop. I bought something small - a quilt pattern. I didn't have the travel room to purchase the fabric to make it. The only thing that would make this quaint shop better is assistance. There were other shoppers in there, but they seemed like local regulars. I didn't have anyone ask me if I was looking for anything in particular or if I was finding what I needed. I may have made a bigger purchase if I had been directed toward something that would remind me of Santa Barbara. Aside from that, I would go back here! read more

I love this store. There is a great selection of a wide variety of crafting supplies and unique gifts. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I recently went to get binding fabric for a Christmas quilt I've been trying to finish for a long time. They found a color and fabric ten times better than what the pattern called for. I'm delighted, and I can't wait for classes yo start up again. read more

I love Roxanne's a Wish and a Dream. It is most often my first stop when I arrive in Carpinteria and my last stop before leaving town after a long weekend. The sales representatives are kind and very helpful when I am searching for specific material or yarns. The store is very neat and well organized. Their gifts are unique. It is about 90 minutes from my home; there have been times when I needed fabric, elastic, quilting supplies and I could easily place an order and everything was readily shipped to my house for a mailing fee, of course. It is the best quilting store that I have visited. read more

Two months ago I was in buying yarn. I had never seen a Featherweight Singer. Of course I went home to research on line. There were loads for sale. I called Roxanne and asked a few questions. What I wanted she did not have at the time. Today I purchased my "Original 1940 Featherweight", scroll face, chrome wheel and accessories in its original carrying case. Roxanne is very knowledgable and a delight to work with. I am very satisfied with the fair price I paid. I know the machine is in excellent condition. And if I need help I know where to go. She also has many others painted super cute. Make the drive. You won't be disappointed. read more

What a fun spot and wonderful fabric selection. Even though I'm not a quilter and only a periodic sewer I was so excited to browse and did get some great remnants for a baby shower project. Past reviews were pretty harsh regarding the staff and service. We definitely understood the reviews but it did not deter us from browsing to our hearts content and enjoying the shop. read more

It's a great little store, tons of Featherweight sewing machine accessories, super cute material and patterns, a fair selection of yarns, but no fingering weight yarn wool/nylon suitable for socks, which I found really surprising considering they had great brands. Great little scissors and accessories and quilting accesssories. Not overly friendly and I've left twice without my purchase because I could not get help. No ones ever asked if I've needed help even though I've stopped by there once a week. Having said that it's such a cute shop and they have such great things that I continue to go and would recommend stopping in if you're in the area. read more

Awesome. We were a group of Quilter's yesterday. We have quilted almost 30 years together. We visited Roxanne's and we were able to meet Roxanne. The girls cutting ALL our fabrics were awesome and helpful. Roxanne took our pictures. The fabric selection is AWESOME and BEAUTIFUL. We cannot wait to go back. A MATERIAL GIRL from the Santa Rosa Valley. read more

Oh my.... what a beautiful find. This is a refreshing change. The pictures don't do it justice. If there's one pattern there's so many more. Oh and the colorful array of fabrics is so beautiful. The employees were nice, helpful and knowledgeable!!! Beautiful find! read more

My favorite little shop in town. Not only for fabric and yarn but for all the cute gift items. The classes offered are great too. I've taken several classes from Ranell and she is awesome. read more

They have a Large selection of fabrics but the customer service is not good. The girl at the front was very rude to us. We went to return something and she gave us a stupid look and said um no you can't return it. Even though the receipt said you could. She was not kind and i will no longer be going back there. read more

What a great fabric store! It has so much more than just fabric but all you need for knitting, crochet, quilting, etc. They have patterns and ideas, yard for days, ribbons and bobbins and bobbin holders, the list goes on. Also a great place to get some cute gifts. There was a scavenger hunt and prize for my three year old and that was so sweet and a thoughtful touch. read more

I love coming into the shop when I am in town. The shop is decorated so cute, is always tidy and offers a wide variety of crafting and gift items. All of the ladies are always so friendly and welcoming. As a beginning knitter it is always nice to have a place you can take in your projects and ask for help. Michelle is always so helpful and willing to take the time to help me figure out where I have gone wrong in my stitches. It is always a stop when passing through Carpinteria! read more

I am so excited to see Roxanne is back! I love the light and bright store, the fabrics are so excellantly displayed! A wonderful store to shop in, to feed your soul! Please visit! please notice the cutting area counter, a ceramic beauty to behold! Staff friendly and very helpful! read more

My favorite place to shop. The ladies who work there are always so helpful and nice. They have the best ideas and the store had such a positive vibe. Everyone I have ever seen in the shop always leaves happy. I shop at Roxanne's a couple times a month and sometimes just pop in for inspiration. I absolutely love the store. Wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Fun store with a sweet owner and great helpers. If you are looking for quilting fabric it is the place to go

Very unfriendly store. As a new quilter I was surprised at the lack of support and advice they would give. I bought some fabric and one lady told me they had punch cards. When I went to pay the other lady said nothing about punch cards. Not impressed read more

I don't know why I even bother! Every time I have gone in they are so rude there!! I'd rather spend the 1/2 hour driving to Ventura than spending a red cent at Roxanne's... read more

I have shopped in the store and by phone several times in the past year. Everyone has been so helpful and so pleasant. One shopping adventure had a slight oversight which was happily corrected the next day. I wouldn't think of visiting the Santa Barbara area without stopping in at least once! Love it! read more

Very lovely store. Lot's of Kaffe fabric. However, I was there for thirty minutes and not one employee acknowledged me or offered to help until I was ready to check out with a few notions. I was traveling through town and I am surprised by this since I am an experienced quilter and have visited may shops while traveling. read more
