Sharon’s Attic & Quilt Shop

Very slow service. Brought a quilt to get repaired from a hole my dog chewed and it’s been over 7 months to fix. They didn’t even have the decency to call with updates on why it’s taking so long or when it should be done. Very disappointing.

There are so few shops on the west side of town to find good quality quilting fabric, but this shop really isn’t the solution. I’ve been there a number of times and with only one or two exceptions, I’ve found the staff to be rather rude and condescending. They seem to assume no one who walks in the door knows anything about quilting. This morning I called to see if they carry any Civil War reproduction prints and the woman who answer the phone seemed very confused, so I explained what I was looking for and she said, ‘Oh yes, we do” and started naming fabric designers – none of which specialize in reproduction fabrics. I asked if they had any of those designers’ 19^th-​century reproduction prints, and she said, «I’m not sure.» Okay. I asked if there was anyone there I could talk with who might know, and she said, «No.» So unimpressed… again.

I love this place. I was going to write a long review, then I read what Lindsey P wrote. I agree with EVERYTHING she said. The staff is amazing — friendly, helpful, knowledgeable. I learned to quilt from a class there and have been quilting ever since. I always shop at Sharon’s Attic first for my fabric, batting and supplies. The place deserves it’s loyal following.

Lorraine H says she thinks that discrimination is against the law? She’s right. She also needs to take a look at herself and be ashamed that she even thought about causing bodily harm to someone who’s also disabled. Only thing is, Steven’s disability is much worse than hers because his can’t be seen. Steve doesn’t have as speech impairment, he has a brain disease called Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). For those that don’t know what this is, it’s a degeneration in the part of the brain that controls the speech and language. For this reason Steve sometimes says things that come across as harsh or don’t make sense. Sharon said she would talk to him later because sometimes it takes time for her to explain to him what the issue is. If Lorraine hadn’t gotten so mad and just talked to Sharon calmly, she might have had a very good lesson. I’m sorry that whoever signed Lorraine up for her long arm class didn’t explain this to her but they didn’t. Steve is an amazing long arm quilter, the work he does is fantastic.
Rarely does a day go by when there isn’t someone working on something in the large classroom. Everyone of those people would go above and beyond to help every person who walks thru the door, from the brand new quilter to someone who’s been quilting for years and years. No one is EVER discriminated against.
Sharon has a wonderful selection of fabrics; Batiks, kids, groupings, flannels and even Christmas. She carries a large selection of notions, books and patterns. And her classes are as varied as the people who teach them.
All in all Sharon’s Attic Quilt Shop is the best quilt shop in the entire metro area, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

This is a wonderful shop filled with people who are ready to help or give you ideas. There are many classes to take and the teachers are priceless. (Classes on the list I saw were — quilting — painting on fabric — paper piecing — basket making — Embroidery — long arm machine… and many many more. The store is filled with wonderful fabrics and sewing tools. Great place to go if your crafty. :)
