There's a lot here if you're willing to dig through! There's a vintage area with tons of old, vintage papers, photographs, sheet music, postcards, photo albums, negatives, etc. Loads of scrap fabric and remnants, yarn, embroidery floss, notions, scrap paper, scrapbooking materials, stickers, stencils, even industrial supplies like foam scraps, and household materials like pill bottles (empty of course), lids, jars, storage containers, craft kits, old calendars, big bins of wine corks, pens, etc. They have a HUGE selection of old National Geographic issues, some going back as far as the 1930s. Perfect for collages or collecting. They also have a few machines like scales, microscopes, sewing machines, etc. As well as a few tools, wood and metal working items, just bits and bobs of tons of things to sort through. It changes all the time so stop in regularly to see what they get in! And the best part? It's all SO cheap and keeps all these things out of landfills (56K lbs just last year)! Upcycling FTW! Some things are in better condition than others but if you're the creative type you will be inspired by all you can find here. And since things are so affordable you can really take risks and noodle around without worrying about wasting your supplies. Want more inspo? They also offer workshops and classes to get your creative juices flowing. Swing by and check it all out!

But I would definitely come back! I will take my mom here too as she loves scrapbooking! I was very close to getting an embroidery packet but decided I probably won't have time for it (only $4)!

Fast. Packaged well. And so nice to play with. I hope they expand what they offer.read more

Signed up with three friends for a cold and sunny Saturday and had a great time in class. The instructor Jackie (or Jacquie or Miss Jackie) was wonderful, kept the class on time, was educational, supportive. I had two books finished before I left. A quick wander through the store showed me that I had never seen a store with as many papers as ArtQuest has to offer. Sadly, I will be back. No, it's gladly - I will gladly go back for more classes and supplies. Thanks for a great day!

So I'm giving it a star boost because I'm grateful that it's there for the small things I need and I don't want them to ever, ever leave. Haha! That said, it's still a smaller store so the stock is more limited. But they do have a really good selection of embroidery floss and yarn, which is primarily what I'm looking for with this new hobby. They also have a ton of monkscloth in stock (the fabric you use for your projects) as well as transfer paper and the like. So, so far so good! And the staff here is really friendly and helpful. More than once I've rushed in right before close and they're still cheerful and ready to assist. The bad news is that they don't seem to restock so quickly. A few weeks ago I cleaned them out of the 5 weight antique blue rounds of embroidery floss and when I went back to buy more they were still out and I had to order more online for pick up at the other store. To paraphrase the Facts of Life theme song, "you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have...this Jo-Ann's."

Several associates offered assistance but I was just checking out their selection, they were very nice and personable. They had a large selection of machines available and a class going on. They don't have fabrics for other things besides quilting however, in my opinion at least. But they had beautiful quality.
