Great quilt store! They have a great selection of fabrics, kits, pre-cuts, batiks, and a huge…read moreselection of cotton prints. Staff was super friendly. I also found an adorable sewing basket, and some needle minders by the cutting counter. I found a scissor minder there too - never seen one of those before. I spent way too much here but it couldn't be helped - their kits were too cute.

Since I first reviewed this shop (8 years ago!), many MANY beloved local quilt shops have gone out…read moreof businesses - including several of my favorites. So, even though it's a bit off the beaten path, Calico Creations has become a place I can rely on to grab the perfect fabric for my latest project. So I try to stop there when I'm passing near (or through) MV. They carry all of the major designers and latest lines. From modern prints by Tula Pink and Kaffe Fassett to more traditional calicos and Civil War style fabrics, you will find it here. Not to mention they have an extensive collection of solids and blender fabrics, baby fabrics, pattern books and even some pre-cuts (not many, but I'll take it). Not in a sewing mood? Find inspo from their ever-rotating samples adorning their windows and walls. On a budget? They have an impressive (and huge) sale area in the back, where fabric is $10/yard (or lower). My only criticism is their small space. They could easily fill a shop twice the size, and as a result many MANY of their bolts are sitting on the floor. They try to keep it organized, and do a pretty good job, but it bears mentioning you'll need to "file" through bolts on the floor that aren't as easy to view as the ones on the shelves.

I've been to the shop twice and have not been satisfied with the service I have received. The…read morefirst time I felt like the employees thought they were doing me a favor. They certainly charged me what they wanted since they are the only framing shop on the island. I thought maybe it was just a bad day but found the same poor attitude and service the second time I went into the store so I complained. I ended up taking my project to Anacortes instead. The store there was delightful, friendly and the energy was welcoming. Basic good business. Reflecting back, the work quality at Gene's Art & Frame was average at best and not worth the close to month long wait. They obviously get away with the bad behavior and act with impunity. Gene's make you sign a legal document saying they charge a 50% nonrefundable deposit. You must pick your project up in 30 days and at 60 they aren't responsible for it. If they damage your art they aren't responsible for more than $500 in damages. If a framer does good work the customers want to pick their art up and you don't need to force them to sign a shady legal document. Law 101 you can't disclaim liability Gene's. I hope you can avoid the frustration and disrespect I felt at Gene's. It's simply not worth it.

This has got to be one of the most unfriendly frame shops I have ever been to. I asked for 8 little…read morev nails but was told they are being discontinued and so no, they wouldn't give me any. i would have happily bought them and I also happen to have six projects needing glazing, fitting, matting. The framer associate said she disn't want to set her business up for failure. By providing a customer with 8 little nails? And that was worth losing what could have led to hundreds of dollars in sales of framing? I didn't even let it get that far so they don't realize the loss in sales. If thre is a manager reading this you might be more concerned because this is no way to operate a business. This is not the first time I have been treated so poorly at Gene's Art and Frame..

What an adorable shop!!…read more I was just walking down the sidewalk to another destination but their window display caught my eye and I wandered inside. I left with a cozy sweatshirt but easily could have purchased way more.

The employee I spoke with was friendly and helpful. Parking is also fairly easy to come by (at least midweek in winter).
