The City Quilter

Saturday I made it up to The City Quilter in Chelsea. I’d heard lots of good things about this store even though their primary focus is obviously quilting. I wasn’t disappointed. They had a good selection of Aunt Martha’s iron on embroidery patterns ($1.75), Sublime Stitching iron on embroidery patterns ($5.75), Presencia floss ($1.10), lots of transfer pens and paper, needles, hoops, and embroidery books including specialty topics like African embroidery and red work. They also had a large selection of Sashiko patterns and floss. All of the staff was very nice and helpful.

The City Quilter also offers an incredible selection of classes. This Fall they are offering classes in Sashiko, Intermediate Sashiko, Wool Embroidery, Silk Ribbon Embroidery, and Simple Embroidered Gifts as well as a huge selection of machine sewing and quilting classes. I hope to take a class this fall, I just have to decide which one.
