The Stitchin’ Post

If you plan to take a Quilters’ Affair class, do NOT purchase a class kit from The Stitchin’ Post! If you do, you may well be overcharged for fabrics that are NOT suitable for the class. You can do better purchasing fabrics from your local quilt shop. And, IF you do purchase a class kit with inappropriate fabrics, then attempt to return this unusable item, you will be charged a 25% restocking fee! Yes, they expect you to pay for THEIR mistake. AND, they will treat you very rudely!!! This includes the owner, Jean Wells, who needs to take a class in customer service. I have taken classes since 1999, but this year’s series of events has removed any desire to ever do so again. Shop elsewhere… at a quilt shop that will appreciate your business.

Do you have a disc-​golf playing husband who absolutely must play Hyzer Pines disc golf course? Would you rather rub sand in your eyes?
Well, don’t rub sand in your eyes!
Instead, have your disc-​golf-​playing-​husband drop you off in Sisters so you can do some shopping instead!
And go buy some fabric at The Stichin’ Post.
It’s one of my favorite fabric stores on the planet, mostly because the stock is all so hip and modern – there are hip/​modern fabrics, hip/​modern quilting books, and hip/​modern sewing patterns.
The attached gift store is also filled with hip/​modern items, but the prices are well… let’s just say… ouch-​inducing. So spend a moment over there, and then head back to drool on the fabric.

This is a great little shop for all kinds of needlework hobbies! As you enter, on the right there are all kinds of yarns and knitting/​crochet supplies, and to the left, quilting and sewing. They had so many kinds of yarn, and there weren’t just little sample swatches, but whole projects (hats, scarves, etc) on display to show off the yarns and their patterns. I also think (but I’m not 100% sure) that they will turn your yarn skeins into balls after you buy them.
I’m not a quilter, but I also enjoyed their racks of fat quarters (arranged by color) toward the back of the store. It made it easy to pick up a few pieces of colorful patterned fabric for some small projects I have in mind.

So much fabric!
This seems to be the store to go to if you live in town. I know that I’d probably pick up quilting if I were to stay around here for a long period of time.
On the side opposite the Stitching Post, there are a lot of fun gift ideas and DIY stamp finds and stuff. I loved this section mainly due to the stationary and the friendly lady behind the counter.

Fabric Mecca. I love love love this place. From my sweet friend Valori, to the smell of fresh cut contemporary fabric… yards and yards of it. I always make this a definite stop when i am visiting central Oregon. Plus the geographical location is a wilderness wonderland, just perfect.

I wish I could share the other reviewer’s enthusiasm for The Stitchin Post — after all I drove from another state to visit the home of Mother and Daughter Wells Celebrity Quilters’ empire. I can honestly report I have never been treated rudely in a fabric store until I visited here. True, they have some beautiful fabric, but a little more friendliness (even for small purchases) would go a long way. What, are they on commission?

How can you go to Sisters Quilt Show and not go into The Stitching Post. Wonderful shop with a beautiful selection of fabrics that makes you forget whatever project you were working on because now you’re buying more fabric for another project!

Absolutely beautiful! I am not a quilter, or even well versed in sewing, but everyone here was so kind and helpful! There is so much inspiration in this store, everywhere you look! Amazing selection of fabrics and projects! Seemed to have a wide variety that would appeal to any fabric lover.

If fabric stores could be considered crack dens, then this store is the mega-​mother. There should be a sign: WARNING: Contents of this store WILL cause addictions.
I seriously start jonesing when I get near to Bend. The nervous twitches start. I start thinking of how much money I have in my bank account and how I will hide my new ‘stash.‘
In all seriousness, if you are in Bend and love to sew then you must make the trip here. Reasons:
1. Plethora of fabrics. Batiks to country charm. Amy Butler to Heather Ross. Denyse Schmidt to Valorie Wells. They are all here.
2. Patterns. While their specialty is quilts you will find clothing, bags, home goods and more.
3. The kits. This is my real weakness. Dropping a couple of Benjamins weakness. You get the pattern, the fabric and the binding. And the designs are all gorgeous and posted in the store for you to see.
4. Fat quarters. They have a fat quarter cut for every fabric in the store. You will not need to ask. Love it.
5. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.
6. Quilting retreats and weekends. They are some of the best and you have to sign up early. Very early.
7. The accept credit cards. Hallelujah!
8. Twigs. There is a wonderful home store that shares an adjoining space with the store. Buy a gift for the person who had to wait for you, seriously.
I already have a plan to get my next fix, but in case I could not wait they have a really great Internet site. Phew.
