I discovered this shop the last time I was in Lawrence and although their fabric selection isn’t as extensive as across the street at Sarah’s, the people were very friendly and they had some reasonably-priced fabric. The fabric portion of the shop is toward the back but fun to look at and not overwhelming. Great store and one I’ll visit again the next time I’m in Lawrence.

Wonderful quilt shop and so much more. They have a great selection of Vera Bradley and other collectibles. Very friendly and helpful staff. I was looking for certain fabric and they were more than happy to wander around with me until we found it.

I attend the yearly cross stitch shop hop, and it includes Stitch On Needlework. This is a quilt shop/collectibles shop/needlework shop, all in one. I like looking at the collections, but I manage to stay away from them. If you want Jayhawk of any kind: material, cross stitch patterns, anything, they have it. But, other than that, they are quite small. The quilt shop area is kind of cool, again, great for people who do quilting, and live in Lawrence. Jayhawk fabric is hard to find elsewhere. I have alot of it in my stash, thanks to this store. As for other cross stitch items, kind of basic supplies I can get in Missouri. But, when I participate in the cross stitch shop hop, I always pick up a Lawrence, KU or Jayhawk pattern or fabric of some kind. It sits on Mass. Street, up the street from the Yarn Barn. There is parking on the street, it is metered. There is plenty of stores to visit while on Mass. Street. So, plan accordingly.

Growing up, my parents had an ever-growing Dicken’s Village collection that started above the fireplace, then moved to some set up card tables, and eventually to the dining room table, with all sectionals in. I remember being a kid looking forward to Christmas so I could watch in awe the tiny figurines and houses lit up like magic. After they split, so did the Dicken’s collection – leaving me convinced I was too old to like that stuff anyways. But walking into Stitch On seeing the whole collection perfectly on display, I felt this little tug in my heart that made me feel like a kid. I leaned over to admire the hand painted details and watch the mechanics make carousels spin or light up window displays in the doll size stores. Finally pulling myself away, I browsed the rest of the store finding snow babies, colorful Vera Bradley bags, and a whole backroom of sewing/needlework supplies. If I ever learn how to do either, this is where I’ll come.

After I entered Stitch On Needlework Shop, I was told to stick my hand into Frankenstein’s mouth! I’m down with that! It was gooey, disgusting and. .. I’m kidding. It was just a cookie jar, but it made the coolest growl while its eyes flashed in fury. The best way to describe the shop? Read my take on Bittersweet Hollow over in Parkville. We’re basically talking twins here except for the needlework section in the back of shop here at Stitch On. Crafted collectibles include Department 56 and Byer’s Choice. You’ll also find a large selection of Vera Bradley purses and bags to throw your crap in. For the decorator, its a paradise of holiday items to «festivus» your home.(C’mon you Seinfeld freaks!) I’d say the shop’s greatest asset was the service. Her involvement and conversation over frankensteins and draculas had me grinning from ear to ear.
