Calico Patch

Best patchwork shop in Canberra - well worth going up there

Yes, a vast array of fabric but no service! I come to Canberra every few months and often visit this shop with the same result. Is it store policy to ignore customers? Today I walked into the store and was ignored as usual. The woman behind the counter didn't make eye contact or greet me in any way, but continued to talk to her friend. I was there for 5 minutes, looked at the fabric and wondered why I would want to pay premium prices when I can get that level of service or better from Internet stores.

Fantastically organised with a wonderful variety of fabrics !! Amazing things you would think you could only get online , but they are all here 😀. I was so impressed I started quilting

The range of Japanese themed quilting fabrics in this little store is utterly phenomenal. It's worth a visit just for this.
The store is crammed to the rafters with beautiful fabric, and I've found that if I can't find something, the shop owner knows exactly where everything is, and has always been willing to help me, even with obscure requests like "I need a navy fabric with some sort of little red motif on it"... yup, no problem, from several different spots in the shop, out it came.
I've also found that if I ever need anything unusual ordered in, they're always willing to do this for me, and even remembered what fabric I'd been looking for on my last visit and brought it out for me.

Cant get enough of this store. The lovely ladies at Calico Patch are always so helpful and friendly. I have been coming here for quite a while now and have always received courteous service and advice. The amazing range of fabrics are high quality and just gorgeous. I've done a few craft classes instore as well and they are always informative and fun. Thank you ladies, keep up the good work.

Love this store! Has a huge range of quilting fabrics to choose from and all excellent quality. Also includes quilting tools, Moda precuts, batting, etc etc. Definitely recommend if you are a quilter. Staff are always helpful and lovely to talk to and very knowledgable about their craft.
