There are several quilt stores in Calgary, each with it’s own "flavour" or focus. Along Came Quilting has long been my first-to-go to store for all. things quilty. They carry a vast selection of fabrics, including batiks in every colour and lots of Kaffe and so many other fabrics. My current favorite fabric for backings is Fireside, and ACQ has it in every colour. The store also carries any notions you could possibly need/want, numerous panels and kits, and a good selection of books.
I’ve taken several courses there too, including some on pictoral and portrait quilting with Roxanne Nelson, (who is awesome, btw!) There is a separate classroom area that, if not being used for a class, is often available for Quilt-Alongs for a very reasonable fee. Sometimes I’ll meet a girlfriend there and we’ll spend the day sewing and chatting, together and with whoever else is there.
The staff of ACQ are very nice women, who are knowledgable, competent, experienced, and approachable. In my experience, they have been very helpful and I always enjoy my time in the store .
Great help when I phone in searching for a product. Very willing to accommodate most requests.
I have really appreciated the help I’ve had both in the store and when I’ve ordered online. The fabric selection is wonderful but it’s really the friendly help with fabric selection, the knowledge of what’s in the store and where it is that have made it all go so well. I’ve appreciated the phone calls to consult when something I’ve asked for is not available and the emails suggesting another fabric. I just couldn’t ask for better.
Ordered backing for my quilt. Received it two days later. Was exactly what I needed. Highly recommend this shop
It is a pleasure to visit Along Came Quilting and be greeted by knowledgeable staff so willing to help you . The store is laid out so well and has super selection of fabric and notions. A happy place!
I could not find anywere enough lenght of the specific canvas in Quebec! I was able to get what I needed at the time needed.
The store has a great selection of quilting fabric and notions. I bought my sew-easy-table there as well. Even though it is quite a trek for me to go there I always find something I really shouldn't buy but can't resist. Such pretty fabric.
Smooth, easy transaction and prompt delivery. Very happy with my purchase! The fabric is beautiful!
Feel like a kid in a candy store when I shop here. Excellent
selection and quality fabrics.
The ladies are very helpful.
