Filled with lovely fabrics and diverse knicknacks, I could've spent hours looking at their various displays. I LOVE the fact that all their items are from local artists and they take NO commission-you write the check directly to the artist! Now, that's supporting your local art community! Potpourri Rocks!

The owner was extremely helpful and everything in the store was a feast for the eyes and fingers! I fell in love with one of the knitted samples (Fading Memories Cowl) and bought a skein to make it up as a souvenir of our trip to beautiful Port Townsend. Owner pointed me to the Ravelry pattern, which I knitted up after returning home. Highly recommend this sweet shop, which seems well-equipped for every knitter and spinner's needs!

I purchased a Midtown Pouch that was 5" x 8" and it fit all of my backpacking plien air supplies (except my sketchbook, which will be easy to separately store in my backpack).

I was recently in the store looking for a certain fabric for a quilting project. I had recently…read more purchased the fabric at the Fabric Plus and found that I was short by just a couple small pieces which equaled less than a quarter of a yard. They did not have the fabric any longer in the store, but they bent over backwards finding a piece for me so I could complete the project. This kind of customer service Is not found very often anymore and I so would recommend them to anyone looking for fabric. Besides customer service they have everything you're looking for for sewing needs. Thank you so much for caring about your customer.

I echo the sentiments of the other negative reviews…read more I was super excited to come into this shop. My first time I was taken aback by how rude the owner was. Like she doesn't give two scraps about customers entering her shop. Happily helped obvious repeat customers, but couldn't care less to help me. I went back again, hoping maybe it was just an off day for her. Nope. And after reading the negative reviews, it makes me feel better. I was honestly so taken aback by how curt and rude the owner was. I've been quilting for over 30 years and never in my life have I experienced such an awful quilt shop owner. If you've never been, save yourself and don't bother. The owner doesnt care about you or your business. She obviously has her regular clientele and doesn't care about adding more.

I struggled looking at the pattern racks by heras they don't turn. No suggestion to move them out. Another couple walks in and the owner spent the rest of the time I was in the store in a conversation on how to quilt. There were lots of fabric bolts around. I looked at them and loved some of them. However, I felt so ignored and uncomfortable that I left.

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.

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.
