Patches & Petals

We visited the store today. I am from Oregon, WI, and had been to Patches and Petals many times previously. My friend is from the Chicago suburbs, and had never been to Patches and Petals before. We both love the antique building, the charming decore, the vintage sewing machines adorning shelves that hold bolts and more-​bolts of lovely fabrics. Beautiful quilts hang from three balconies. A walk up the wide oak stairway and along the second-​story creeking floors leads to displays of holiday fabrics, flannels, antique china, and then, tucked away, the secret room of children’s fabrics. The sales clerk was sweet, friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. We will return again and again. The only thing missing was a resident cat!
