Spinning some art yarn with my new drop spindles and all of the roving that I bought!
Marcia H.

This place is like a weavers, knitters, any fiber artist dream come true. I love to visit here and they were kind enough to let me try out there spinning wheels, which I've never touched one before, so that was fun and I will definitely be looking at buying one in the future!

See all

Huge selection and excellent service. I could have spent the day there! I'm looking forward to the next trip!

This is my kids' favorite store when we visit Lawrence. Mainly to visit the shop cat Dave, but also…read morefor the fun craft options upstairs or sticker selections in the back of the store. They also have the haunted bathroom which is fun although I have to say I've never experienced it. If you need a new shop for unique gifts you should definitely check it out.

Well, actually it is, because it's full of cool stuff. Think gift shop + art shop + boutique curio, and maybe that *starts* to describe the space. There are plenty of keepsakes, art supplies, and gift ideas that will run your tab up very quickly. It's all good stuff, mind you, but it's almost like they should have an "I'll take one of everything package". The front of the store is mostly boutique-ish and has a small up and downstairs. You can find gifts for just about anyone, and this is the kind of place where you can stuff stockings or get something unique for that special someone. If you need ideas, then ask one of the staff who are always willing to help. If you need specifics in the art department, then there is a station in the back to help you with various items such as paper types or other supplies. The unique nature of some of the items leads to perhaps some higher prices, but the value is spot on. You're finding gifts, not clipping coupons, so enjoy and shop a little. For everything that you think might be marked a little high, just remind yourself that you probably aren't going to find that in very many other places. And that's the fun of shopping: just browsing when you have the time and maybe the resources, looking at things that you didn't know you were going to find, and in this case, helping a great small business thrive.

Christmas in September! For years I have wanted a ceramic Christmas tree like my great grandmother…read morehad when I was a child. I looked online but never could decide on size. I was GIDDY when I saw that Sunfire lets you make your own and they had a variety of sizes from which to choose. This is a popular item and event because the first painting party was sold out. I snapped at the chance to attend the second party and it was fabulous. The painting party was a ticketed event so I bought my ticket ahead of time. I was not quite sure what to expect but this met my expectations and more. The wonderful staff at Sunfire handhold you through each step of the process. Within minutes of picking my tree, I was being shown the process. The staff answered all my questions and they were so nice. You can tell the staff enjoys what they do and they have fun at work. They were so gracious to everyone. There were appetizers and wine... what a nice touch. I actually think I painted better after the wine. lol. This is a small, quaint building and used to be an old gas station. It was built in 1910 and that makes this space even more special. It is brightly and eclectically decorated and a very happy, creative space. Parking was not an issue and there seemed to be plenty of spaces despite not having a parking lot and being downtown. Access was very easy which is key for me. The prices seemed very reasonable and I could tell I got so much for my money. Well spent money for a fun event. I had so much fun that I am thinking of going back soon.

I attend the yearly cross stitch shop hop, and it includes Stitch On Needlework. This is a quilt…read moreshop/collectibles shop/needlework shop, all in one. I like looking at the collections, but I manage to stay away from them. If you want Jayhawk of any kind: material, cross stitch patterns, anything, they have it. But, other than that, they are quite small. The quilt shop area is kind of cool, again, great for people who do quilting, and live in Lawrence. Jayhawk fabric is hard to find elsewhere. I have alot of it in my stash, thanks to this store. As for other cross stitch items, kind of basic supplies I can get in Missouri. But, when I participate in the cross stitch shop hop,I always pick up a Lawrence, KU or Jayhawk pattern or fabric of some kind. It sits on Mass. Street, up the street from the Yarn Barn. There is parking on the street, it is metered. There is plenty of stores to visit while on Mass. Street. So, plan accordingly.

After I entered Stitch On Needlework Shop, I was told to stick my hand into Frankenstein's mouth!…read moreI'm down with that! It was gooey, disgusting and . . . I'm kidding. It was just a cookie jar, but it made the coolest growl while its eyes flashed in fury. The best way to describe the shop? Read my take on Bittersweet Hollow over in Parkville. We're basically talking twins here except for the needlework section in the back of shop here at Stitch On. Crafted collectibles include Department 56 and Byer's Choice. You'll also find a large selection of Vera Bradley purses and bags to throw your crap in. For the decorator, its a paradise of holiday items to "festivus" your home. (C'mon you Seinfeld freaks!) I'd say the shop's greatest asset was the service. Her involvement and conversation over frankensteins and draculas had me grinning from ear to ear.

Gettin' my craft on at this new store. Jo-Ann recently opened in Lawrence. They opened in the space…read morewhere Hancock Fabric had been located for decades. Not sure what happened to Hancock but I hope Jo-Ann intends to stick around for awhile. I have been to the Lawrence store twice. Both times I've been looking for specific items. The first time they didn't have or stock the items I needed but I still had an enjoyable shopping experience. During my second visit, they had the item I wanted and then some. This store is, oddly, arranged much like Hancock Fabric was arranged. The fabric notions are on the left side of the store and in the back of the store. There are rows of craft items displayed very similarly to the former Hancock displays. So it was very easy to navigate the store and find what I needed. Everything is nicely arranged and there were many shelves of sale items which I always appreciate! The lighting on some of the shelving is bright and cheery. I was in the bead section and the items were really illuminated. The clerks were very friendly and personable. I had a coupon on my cell phone but I had left my phone at home. The cashier gave me the discount anyway. I appreciated her help. The clerk on other visit was equally as friendly and helpful. She gave me coupons to use, as well. We talked about her sewing projects and she was very pleasant. Great store, friendly service, reasonable prices. I know I'll be back! I am glad to see them in Lawrence.

I am a quirky creative crafty type of female and I usually like to make my own things and what's…read morereally funny about it is that I don't buy the usual things. I usually piece things together to create something new so Joann's has become the place that I go for my creative crafty items. First off I don't like the location of this place because if you don't live in the area you'll never see it from the main road, however I can easily overcome that because when you walk inside the store is clean. the shelves are always fully stocked and what I love most about them is that they always have a sale on some thing. I have never gone in there and paid full price for anything. I catch a sale every time I shop there. The biggest complaint that I do have with them, is the staff is never at the front of the store to greet customers. If a thief wanted to steal something they could easily do it and go right outside the door as easily as they came in because there's no one there to watch. Now maybe because the store has security cameras the staff have convinced themselves that it doesn't matter if their presence be at the front of the store, But for customers it raises concern to see that you have to actually be standing at the registers ready to check out before someone comes to the front of the store. That is a very scary way to run your business. Other than that concern, I love shopping there. I love being able to find unique and creative patterns and fabrics and items that I can put together to create something entirely my own.
