It's down at the back end of an arcade and quite difficult to find as there was no signage on the street.

Worth the effort though!

A patchwork store stocking over 2000 bolts of fabrics. Talented staff with good skills in colours and techniques. Stockists of Jinny Beyer, Robyn Pandolph, Moda, Thimbleberries, Bali's, NZ fabrics, and many other designers. Large range of threads, books and patterns. Also classes and Barnhouse Friends Club

2)It was a great shop with lovely staff. They have a small sign now but I didnt see that till I came out of the arcade. I found it quite easily because the Scqilters list said down an arcade, I just went till I found it. Actually it is only about 30yards from the street.

This place is on the Gordonton-Hamilton road.
I mail order from here as they have a really good mail order service. They do books , doll patterns, bear bits and have a continuously up dated selection of fabric. Hazel goes to Houston every year to check out what's new and order in. They cover most ranges e.g. Hoffmann, Jinny Beyer , Debbie Mumm, RJR etc. As part of their mail order they do mystery quilts, progressive dolls, block of the month(organised so that you get to keep your own blocks ). I have found that when I get my 5" swatches I can ring them and describe a fabric over the phone and they will send it to me. They also don't mind children so long as they play with the toy box out the back .
2)It would have to be one of the best quilt shops that I have ever been to. Staff brilliant.

It is well worth a visit, especially if you are travelling to/from say Hastings or Napier from/to Wellington (or Wairarapa or Palmerston North etc).
It's kind of a hidden treasure, though usually quite well indicated with their signage (usually there is a sign right by the main road (on the town side of the bridge). It used to be in a couple of rooms of an old villa but a year or two ago they built a new shop at the rear of the old so the entrance is from the street behind). It is a wonderful shop in a lovely sunny location with lots of gorgeous fabrics & tons of fat quarters & fat eighths (the best selection I've found). They have a 'sit & sew' area & tons of classes & get togethers. Highly recommended!

I went to the National Symposium in January this year and there was a shop from Christchurch which is very good that is called Cashmere Quiltworks Ltd. Someone did say that if you are from out of town and can't quite get there during those hours they may open especially for you however am unsure if this is correct. The owners are Sue Spigel and Brenda Visser. Both are well known NZ Quilters.

from the Arts Centre Website: As a result of the magnitude of this damage, the Arts Centre Trust Board— the body charged with ensuring this iconic precinct is preserved and protected in perpetuity— has taken the unprecedented step of closing the site for an indeterminate period to allow for remediation work and seismic strengthening to all buildings.  This work is likely to take several years.

We found a great little quilt shop in the Arts Centre in Christchurch which had yummy fat quarters in a wide range of NZ fabrics,( and by the metre.) The centre is near the Tram route and on the edge of the Cathedral Square. It is very "male" friendly as it has many other little shops, and a "to die for" Fudge shop and a great Woodcraft Gallery
(2)The Christchurch Tramway stops outside The Arts Centre. This little shop is situated in the old university buildings where there are many craft shops and on Saturday and Sunday there is also a great craft market. It stocks a great range of fabrics and patterns & a good range of New Zealand patchwork fabric. There is a fantastic fudge shop & a great Woodcraft Gallery & lovely little coffee shop in the Arts Centre. Arts Centre address is www.artscentre.org.nz
