Quilt shops in the DFW area?
#1
Since my DM got me into quilting I have been trying to find a good quilt shop in the DFW area since the only quilt shop I know of is the one she goes to in WA. Not very logical for me since I live half way across the country. Does anyone know of good quilt shops here? I think I have found one (Berry Patch Fabrics), but I am not sure. Any help would be very welcomed! Thank you!

Berry Patch in FW on Hulen is wonderful. Then there's Cabbage Rose on Vickory blvd. Lone Star quilts in Arlington, just to name a few. I suggest google quilt stores in DFW and find more. YOu can also buy a book at a LQS with all the stores in each state.

I am in Plano and use Fabric Fanatics and Blue Ribbon quilt shoppe in Wylie most of the time. There is a large shop in lewisville but they are not to friendly called Quilt Country. There is Quilters Connection in Dallas, haven't been there in a while. Quilt Asylum in McKinney is good as well, I use them alot.

I used to live in Highland Village and went to Quilt Country in Lewisville a lot. They have a tremendous selection of fabrics and tend to leave you alone to browse and look. In other words, they don't hover over you and follow you around the store. Maybe that is why an earlier poster felt they were not very friendly. However, when you request help, they jumped in and offered assistance. The owner of the shop makes a lot of patterns so there are always plenty of samples in the shop to inspire you. Most of the patterns she makes are fairly easy to do and she has no qualms about you taking pictures of the samples. I've been inspired to make quilts from her samples and purchased fabric their but did not necessarily purchase the pattern if I felt I could make it from seeing it and from having a picture of it. I highly recommend that you check it out.
I don't recall the exact address but think that it is on the west side of I-35/Fox Avenue intersection in Lewisville.
Another suggestion - join the guild in Dallas and you cn learn about all the local quilt shops through them. There are other quilds in the surrounding areas, too.

I am one that likes to wonder around and get help only when asked but a nice hello when entering is awesome. I don't expect them to greet me by name but do love that when the shop I frequent does.
I do think every shop is worth visiting once so that you can form your own opinion.
