A Favourite Fabric Haunt – Mad About Patchwork

April 20, 2016 by Shannon 8 Comments

Alright my fellow fabric lovers, this post is for you!  

I’ve got several projects that will be
keeping me busy in the coming months and I needed some fabric to get
under way.  After spending a good chunk of
a lazy Sunday shopping on-line for fabric a couple of weeks ago, I thought I
would share one of my favourite places to shop and some of the goodies I purchased J


One of my favourite places to shop is Mad About Patchwork.  What I love about them is:

They always have a great selection of Kona solids in
stock.  Since I purchased my Kona Colour Chart, this has been really handy.  Plus, my stash of solids is loving that!

When I’ve had questions, their staff was beyond quick in
responding to my inquiries.
They ship SUPER fast. 
And I do mean SUPER fast.  I
placed a couple of orders on the same day and theirs showed up first.  If you’re working on a project with a tight
timeline or, you know, you just really want your fabric, this is really
helpful.

Your fabric comes packaged in clear plastic, so you never
need to worry about it getting damaged by the elements.

They label all your goodies so you know what you bought (you
know, for those late night purchases and impromptu additions to your basket
that you might have forgotten about J).

They are quick to resolve my issues.  There was a slight mix-up in my last order
and they were uber responsive, which eases my mind about shopping on-line and
not having that in-person control.

So if you are looking for an on-line fabric retailer or just
want to add another fabric store to your list, I highly encourage you to give
them a go!

What is your favourite fabric store?  Share in the comments below – you can never have too many fabric stores in your reference list πŸ˜‰

    I love Mad About Patchwork! There a couple of other online Canadian shops I really like too: Sew Sisters and Fabric Spark. And of course, Craft de Ville. πŸ™‚

How much thought have you given to your thread? Is it something you consider to be an integral part of your sewing or an after thought, something to just make do with?
