Fibers & Stitches

Love this place. The kids toy area has allowed me to browse far too long & spend far too much money. Great funky button collection.

As a rule I am not terribly crafty. The idea of sewing or measuring or cutting gives me the vapors. The idea of looking at a pattern and actually creating a piece of art does not compute with me:)
Jamie the shop owner has the patience of a saint as she takes the time to explain and show even those of us (like me) who are incredibly awkward and novice when it comes to wielding a pair of scissors, running a sewing machine or following a pattern.
This quilt shop and fabric store takes the scary out of everything.
Jamie and her partner in crime Rhonda are both not only incredibly friendly but they really know their stuff. Jamie has this uncanny eye for color — she can put together the most amazing combinations of colors and patterns than anyone I know.
The shop is bursting at the seams with fabrics, and notions, and amazing arrays of colors, patterns and textures.
One almost feels like a kid in a candy store!
The store is located right off of Highway 30 in St. Helens– easy to access off the main road. The layout of the shop is big, open and accessible.
Jamie has this pretty cool thing called a stitch and bitch– i’m not exactly sure what day it’s on but it’s a time to come together and bring your machine and so have a drink and bitch:)
I believe she offers classes and has an area for cutting, selling and pressing.
The fabric is high-​end but her prices are incredibly reasonable. She also has a lot of how to books for ding-​a-​lings who like me who are not crafty:).
The coolest thung about this place is that Jamie lives and breathes her craft. It’s clearly apparent that she’s not doing this just to make a living she actually loves what she’s doing and this is her passion.
And nothing is better than living your passion:)
She’s 19 miles outside of Portland and it’s a lovely scenic drive past Sauvies Island and really worth the trip — and we’ve even known people to stop at her shop on the way to the coast!
I want to say she’s closed Sunday and Monday so call before you come.

This quilt store is top notch! There is an abundance of fabrics and notions in a huge array of colors and patterns. The store feels open, bright and clean. The owner Jamie is always willing to help you pull fabrics together so your project comes together beautifully! I also enjoy being able to bring in projects to work on one night a week when she stays open late for people to be able to get together to laugh and talk while they sew.
