Have you visited all these Patchwork & Quilting Shops…

Patchwork & Quilting Shops SA South Australia

What a great selection of Patchwork & Quilting shops in South Australia!

With this collection of shops, it’s little wonder there are so many beautiful quilts coming out of SA!

Combine these with the fabulous scenery and those delicious wine regions and I’m sure there are a great many quilting retreats in SA – once you’ve stocked up on all the fabric, patterns, books and haby you can fit in a car (making sure to leave room for sewing machines of course).

We’ve visited some fantastic Patchwork & Quilting Shops in South Australia and in particular the Adelaide Quilt Shops.

Creative Quilt Cottage, Clarence Park is just gorgeous, and has such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.  There’s a great range of fabrics on display and I’d hazard a guess that if you’re looking for some hard to come by fabric, you may just find it here – it’s certainly well worth stopping by.  You’ll find Heinz and the girls in the Cottage or next door at All Make Sewing Centre.

You should be adding Quiltaholics at Magill to your “Must Visit” list.  This shop occupies the space of three shops, and has some great ‘hidden’ areas with floor to ceiling fabrics.  A third of the shop is dedicated to the patchwork classes and quilting workshops, along with some sit and sew sessions.  When you stop by Quiltaholics, make sure you check out the amazing quilts on the walls – brilliant inspiration for your next project.  Cheryl and the girls will make you feel more than welcome.

While you’re on the south side of Adelaide, you should also pay a visit to Patchwork By Sea, your Brighton Quilt Shop.  Nestled in amongst the cafe’s and trendy little shops on Jetty Road, Brighton is this great quilt shop.  Terry and Jen cater to your quilting needs and have a great range of Quilting Workshops and Patchwork Classes to whet your appetite.  With a massive area set aside for classes and just as much space again stocked to the rafters with patchwork quilting fabric, Patchwork By Sea is a must-do for any quilter.

Still in Adelaide, but on the northside of town, you’ll find Melann’s Fabrics & Sewing Centre. Regula & Paul have a good range of sewing machines and fabric – along with a really good selection of patchwork & quilting workshops.

Melann’s Fabrics & Sewing Centre is also the Adelaide host for “Hatched In Africa” Trunk Show on Safari, coming up on the 7th September, 2009.  If you are into embroidery, make sure you get along to the Hatched In Africa Trunk Show – this is one event you would regret missing.

If you’re looking for a trip to the Wineries – either in the Southern Vales, or the Barossa region, then we have a few suggestions for you.

Barossa Quilt Shops – you simply MUST check out Jenny’s Sewing Centre in Angaston.  I strolled around for half an hour checking out the patchwork fabric, patterns, stacks of quilting magazines and the sewing machines.  After half an hour I thought I’d seen it all, until I noticed a sign that says “Craft Fabric” – that’s where the treasure is – downstairs!  Get ready to be amazed because there is a staggering amount of patchwork fabric tucked away at Jenny’s Sewing Centre.

Down the road you’ll find Kornacraft Gawler & Barossa Sewing Centre.  Kim has all sorts of wonderful patchwork & quilting supplies, from sewing machines, to patchwork fabric, quilting patterns and of course some great patchwork & quilting workshops.  Located in the main street of Gawler, Kornacraft Gawler & Barossa Sewing Centre is a great one-stop patchwork & quilting shop.

If we head out to the other side of Adelaide to the Southern Vales – you’ll discover there are two great quilt shops very close to each other, which of course is a blessing when you’re trying to visit as many quilt shops as you can.  Mallee Country Crafts & Gifts has a great homely atmoshphere, and is certainly a place I could spend quite a few hours.  Sue looks after the quilting classes, patchwork fabric and the shop, while Darren makes great hangers for your quilts – so between them, they certainly have it all covered.  You’ll find Mallee Country Crafts & Gifts at McLaren Flat on Kangarilla Road.

At the other end of Kangarilla Road is The Patchwork Cow, your McLaren Vale quilt shop.  Linda is well known for her sought after quilt designs, and has created a beautiful quilt shop and studio area where she holds patchwork & quilting classes, this is definitely a great setting for all the inspiration you need.  The Patchwork Cow is open from 11am to 3pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 1pm on Saturdays.

GPatchwork & Quilting Shops VIC Victoria

Victoria has 180 Patchwork & Quilting Shops. That’s impressive!

All Things Quilting is in the middle of the ultimate Patchwork & Quilting road trip – to discover all those gorgeous little quilt shops, yes – even the little ones that are often missed.

It’s a great trip to do – but WOW does it take some organising. Victoria looks such a little State, but it’s really surprising how much is crammed in – there are more quilt shops in Victoria than in Queensland. The advantage is nothing is far away, so there really is no excuse not to grab your girlfriends and go exploring the quilt shops.

So I’m having fun, meeting some great quilters, staying in some funky places and generally having a ball – trying not to fill the car with toooo much fabric – that’s a tough one!

We’ll be updating you on our discoveries as we go – keeping you up to date and letting you know what treats and treasures we find.  If you want us to let you know when we update All Things Quilting, make sure you join our free email newsletter (we’ll even give you 200+ free quilt patterns).
