celoplyr Posted August 13, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 13, 2018 In Skagway there was one with a lot of patterns. They had some digitally done prints as well. That was the only port I was allowed out without the rest of the family ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahospud Posted August 13, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Skagway has the Rushin' Tailor on 3rd Avenue. Lots of beautiful quilts on display and plenty of fabric and patterns to choose from. I stop at this one every time. Ketchikan has Whale's Tale upstairs in the Salmon Landing Building. They used to have the Silver Thimble shop next to Whale's Tale but it's gone now. Whale's Tale is the smallest of the shops in the three ports and in my opinion not worth a stop. That second floor used to be bustleing but it's pretty dead up there now. Juneau has Changing Tides upstairs in the Senate Mall building. It was a bit cramped in there last time I was there (what quilt shop isn't?). They also have a beautiful selection of buttons, too. All are walking distance from the docks. Will you have a car in Anchorage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellbelle28 Posted August 16, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I enjoyed Rushin' Tailor in Skagway. Loads of patterns. I got one for a cool table runner. They feature Alaskan and Northern theme patterns and fabrics. Easy to walk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom&MeCruiseAL Posted August 16, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Thanks for the info. Mom is an avid quilter. She is looking forward to checking out the shops. What about Fairbanks or Vancouver? We are spending a nights there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are spending a nights there as well. I've never been to Fairbanks, and haven't done quilt shops in Vancouver. This article is all about Vancouver BC quilt shops though, so is probably a good resource. Just make sure the places are still in business, it's not super-recent. http://planetpatchwork.com/travel/vancouver.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Aurora Posted August 16, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Thanks for the info. Mom is an avid quilter. She is looking forward to checking out the shops. What about Fairbanks or Vancouver? We are spending a nights there as well. In Fairbanks she would enjoy Northern Threads. For those staying at the Sophie Station Hotel they are right next door. This shop also participates in "row by row." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowrose Posted August 19, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted August 19, 2018 We will be only doing the port stops, no car rental. I have phoned all of these places and made our "action plan" for fabric shopping! Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
