We stock traditional and modern fabrics, along with plenty of batiks. Tilda, Tula Pink and Kaffe Fassett are the bright lights in the shop, and the more traditional Moda ranges are available, with French General being a favourite. We also boast the best-looking front door on the street, with airconditioned comfort inside. We have lots of patterns and an ever-changing array of beautiful quilts adorn the high walls.
