subject: Quilting And Fibre Art Supplies: Stitches, An Artist's Paradise! [print this page] Establish in 1998, Stitches, a mixed media and fibre art supplies store, has transformed over the years into the invaluable online resource it has now become for fiber artists and quilters across Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Beginning as a small local shop selling mostly completed works (quilts, garments, wall hangings), the store now provides a wide array of fiber art supplies and art quilting supplies as it became evident that customers preferred to purchase the supplies to make their own works of art rather than buying the finished pieces.
Stitches had begun its evolution into its current extensively stocked state by 2003. Fiber artists seeking textiles, quilting fabrics, fibres, yarns, foils, paints, as well as other niche products have the opportunity to acquire their materials from a single source with Stitches. The items can be difficult to find, period, but Stitches gives you the unique chance to get everything you need all at once!

On top of providing the supplies needed to create your own fiber art, Stitches additionally offers popular titles in quilting books, such as the following: 500 Art Quilts, Surface and Structure, Hot Textiles, Quilting Art, Finding Your Own Visual Language, Transparency in Textiles, and Embellish, Stitch, and Felt, to name just a few.
For quilt supplies British Columbia 's fiber artists use Stitches as their go-to, as do fiber artists across the rest of Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Stitches stocks quilting cottons such as Phillip Jacobs, Kaffee Fassett, Amy Butler, Robert Kaufman, and Gerta, as well as carrying a number of yarns, patterns, embellishments and surface design products.
