The shop was owned by someone…read moredifferent than now and they were anything but welcoming so I decided maybe quilting wasn't for me. I finally decided I wanted to make a quilt no matter how rude they were so I put on my big girl panties and tried again. Imagine my surprise when I walked in the door to find a new owner with a kind heart and a ton of patients. I've done a few quilts now and see no sign of stopping. Beautiful fabrics, amazing patterns, great Halloween selection, and the kindest people. I couldn't ask for better!

I finished today the Shop Hop and was looking forward to picking out my free one yard of fabric, I…read morehave never done this Shop Hop before. Well found out in 30 seconds no choice. So made a suggestion that someone print on the passport that fabric is prepicked. The person helping said if you don't like it give it to someone else this is the way it has always been done she even repeated this as I was going out the door. Rude communication to a new customer. I had found about $60.00 of fabric on her website and was hoping to have the free one yard complement the fabric I would have bought from her. Will never purchase from her, took the wind out of my sail!

Set in the former brick school building on Evergreen Blvd. at west end of Officer's Row (built by Mother Joseph in the 1800s). Across the street and over one from the new downtown Ft. Vancouver Regional Library. This place is fragrance-free, dog-free, quiet, and sociable. I appreciate this place. Prices are reasonable. Go elsewhere for bold colors or abstract art.

I come here with my wife Melanie T. What I like about this place is that if the husband is bored, there is plenty of aisle space to walk and for the husband to get his steps. Oh by the way, that owners and helpers are friendly and helpful even if they don't seem so initially.

The staff are very knowledgeable, and provided me with information on several projects my partner and I are currently working on. The owner, Zachariah, is a font of knowledge, with years of experience in the industry. Located in the Arbor Lodge neighborhood, Sewlarium is a bit of a drive for me, but I'm happy to support small businesses striving to serve their communities. This store is clean, well lighted, and surprisingly well-stocked for such a small footprint. I was able to find several yards of beautiful jersey material that I can't wait to make some shirts from. There is plenty of street parking in front of the business, and on the side street as well. If you're making a trek to visit this store from elsewhere in Portland like me, consider yourself in for a treat because there are some great restaurants and coffee shops in the area. (Not to mention Mike's Drive-In across the street!)

(Okay, you called my bluff! Yes, we did.) Firstly, Center Diamond has a fabulous selection of fabrics and the prices are more reasonable than you'd expect. The fabric is sorted into themes and by color-- a feast for the senses! Maybe it's because I've spent most of my time at Joanns (R.I.P.) I was delightedly surprised that they carry flour sack towel fabric. It had never occurred to me to make my own kitchen towels! They have an extensive variety of tools and notions as well as fun vinyl decals to showcase one's sewing love. There's a great selection of patterns with finished samples for inspiration and several kits and a mahoosive selection of stackers, fat quarters, and jelly rolls. The staff was wonderful here! They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and fun. We bought a pattern and they even printed it out for us. My daughter and I can't wait to return! If you're a fabric crafter, do yourself a favor and stop into Center Diamond, you won't be disappointed!
