For one particular project I bought 80% of the materials from a shop in CA and ventured here when I was ready to start the project. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly.

While Beehive Needlepoint has a great selection, I will no longer be giving them my business. The…read morestaff is consistently unfriendly, and there is one employee in particular who is outright rude to me and other customers every single time I visit. I have purchased a couple of canvases here in the past, but during my most recent visit, this staff member was so rude that I actually walked out right before making a purchase. They carry Penny Linn canvases and accessories, and while I love buying those in-person, I refuse to support a shop that treats people this way. It is incredibly disappointing--they even have an item in stock right now that is sold out everywhere online, but I would genuinely rather wait for another shop to restock it than give Beehive another dime. As a fairly new needlepointer, I just don't feel comfortable asking for help here. I used to come in for thread, but from now on, I will be buying online or driving further away to shops that actually welcome their customers.

She was kind and detailed in her explanation of prices, processes, and turnaround times. When I learned that the turnaround was a little longer than I had hoped, Dana did not skip a beat or offer me any less service when inquiring how to knot them on my own. She afforded me the ability to try two different sizes of silk and got me set up with all the tools that I would need, along with a good dose of encouragement! Dana reassured me that if it didn't work out, they would be available to assist me in a class, or to string them for me. I highly recommend you just stop in to see their amazing offerings and for their excellent, friendly and helpful customer service. I believe your experience will be similar to mine.

We were just…read moredriving along looking around and I saw this shop and being the addicted quilter that I am we HAD to stop! The store is well lit, and nicely laid out with room to move around. There is a wide variety of fabrics, notions, patterns, and several quilted projects already made up that are for sale. The owners are friendly and helpful, and there is even a tv and chairs for the husbands to hang out in while the wives shop. They offer a print newsletter with several classes to choose from and have project samples made up in the store to get you interested while you're there. If you are a quilter or need a gift for a quilter this is a great place to check out. http://www.quiltersdepotpa.com/

They have…read moreanimals & various figurines, plates, platters, mugs, and other dishes, as well as vases and planters. There's an option to paint or choose some sturdier pottery to do pour glazing on. They also do wheel throwing courses! For painting, we chose a mug and a small planter. The prices are listed on the bottom of each item and it comes with all the supplies, paint, and final firing. There is not table fee here like at other places. The staff is incredible. They remember you by name when you come in and are so helpful with picking out ideas, sharing techniques, and getting colors for you to use. If you don't finish your item the first time, you can come back and finish a 2nd time at no cost! ($10 if you come back after that on the same item.) We came just us the first time, and the 2nd time we came back with our son. It is a very different experience with kids vs adults, but either way is fun!

They welcomed us and then gave us space to browse, which we did for about an hour. No pushiness at all, and knowledgeable, courteous help when we had questions. Being there for so long, I observed the same professional service given to other shoppers. A nice variety of workhorse and upscale, arty yarns and fibers are available, including a good selection put up in cones (a better value for weavers and others who go through a lot of a specific yarn). Several brands were stocked in a wide variety of colors, making it easy to plan colorwork projects. Prices seem reasonable too. Other supplies available include needles, hooks, and circular needle sets; embroidery and cross stitch supplies; a variety of products for washing yarn; buttons; books; table looms; and decals and pins for showing off your fiber fandom. Moon and Yarn is a great place to find offbeat gifts for the fiber artist in your life. Even though the place is well stocked, it doesn't look cluttered. Everything is attractively displayed. There's also comfortable seating as well as a large table with chairs. Currently, Yarn and Moon hosts crafting nights on Wednesdays, open to anyone who'd like to craft with others. Moon and Yarn Craft Room offers all the things that make a great local yarn store, and then some. And it's tucked in picturesque Bellevue, with great architecture and interesting places to eat within walking distance. It'll be worth whatever distance your trip might be.

If you're looking for early Americana stuff they got it, if you're looking for the latest Tilda fabrics they have it.

And a lot of by Annie patterns -- love those bag patterns! Pittsburgh has lost a lot of of their quilt stores, so this is a bit of travel. It's an hour to get there, but Trax farms is nearby, and they have a pretty epic deli, and also just over the hill on the next big road V&V Scratch Kitchen.
