Nestled in quaint Country
Village in Bothell, Washington, Keepsake Cottage
Fabrics is a quilt shop for every kind of
quilter. Fabrics vary from
reproduction, thirties, patriotic, novelty, florals, wools and flannels to batiks, Asians,
and native American. Backgrounds,
white-on-whites, and an extensive "color wall"
round out the shop's fabric selection.
The shop offers most Moda collections, including
their charm packs, jelly rolls, layer cakes, and
kits. In early 2008, the shop's Lecien collection from Japan
tripled in size. Other fabric collections
include |
 |
| Timeless Treasures, Michael Miller, Free Spirit,
Windham, Benartex, RJR, Clothworks, In the
Beginning, Northcott, and more. The shop
carries the most current notions available and
offers a wide variety of the latest patterns and
books. Classes include several for the
beginner quilter, appliqué, and year-long block
of the month clubs. In the fall, the shop
sponsors a Quilt Pink event, inviting customers
to join in; proceeds from the event benefit the
Susan G. Komen for the Cure. |

The staff at Keepsake Cottage Fabrics
includes Julie Stewart, the owner, and
10 part-time employees. All
are experienced quilters who are always
ready to help and offer opinions.
For many customers, and the staff as
well, the shop is a home away from
home: a friendly, warm place to
spend part of any day.
Keepsake
Cottage Fabrics has been a part of
Country Village since 1985, when it was
first opened by Delberta Murray. A
few years later, in 1989, Julie Stewart
joined Delberta as a partner and they
doubled the floor space of the shop. |
|
|
|
Then, in 2005, Delberta retired and just eight
months later, Julie moved the shop across the
parking lot, into its current location in the
big red barn. In just a few years time,
the shop's inventory doubled in size to nearly
5,000 bolts of fabric, becoming
one of the largest quilt shops around offering
the latest in fabrics and notions. |
