CANBERRA

Canberra Shopping Centre

Now only has a small selection of patchwork fabrics - very disappointing with no big name fabrics.
Lincraft Civic also has a good range of other crafty things - DMC thread, pellon, vlisofix, felt squares, cross stitch packs, etc.

PHONE:    02 6255 6699
Right next door to a fabulous cafe (Cafe Injoy).
Over fifteen hundred fabrics lots of vest panels , books and great quilt racks at very reasonable prices
2) Rhonda stocks a good range of ptwk fabrics, including Australian prints, and a pretty good selection of associated haby, patterns, books etc and offers classes on the premises. Also is diversifying into cloth dolls (we've getting her brainwashed successfully) so has doll patterns and classes too. She has quite a nice range of gift items including bears, dolls, buttons etc and some of it is by local artists on a commission basis. This would be my favourite shop
3)Calico Patch does wonderful classes, and she has (IMHO) the best range of brights and different fabrics in Canberra. If there's something you want Rhonda will get it for you. Good range of books (and not just the usual range of Martingale books - she makes and effort to source other publishers.) The best range of Aussie fabric in Canberra.
