..is about a 35 minute drive, south from where I live…over a little mountain pass called the Malahat. It has been a landmark of the Langford scene for the past 40+ years, so Sylvia and her family must be doing something right! That’s right, it’s a family run business that specializes in sewing, quilting, knitting and home decor fabrics… they have everything a sewer, quilter, knitter and home decorator would need and then some…even the sewing machines to ‘get’er done!
Let me take you on a quick tour…lots of quilts hanging all over the place…
Every possible spot has a quilt hanging…don’t you just love this one…check out the huge paperclips for skate blades!
Go ahead and wander…the staff won’t mind…
Lots to see…up high…
Eye candy ever where you look!
Love this sweet little Holiday Cheer quilt…simple but VERY effective!
If you are a knitter than THIS is the room for you!
And lots to see down low…Look at that sweet Hexie table topper!!
Patterns and books galore!
An oh, so soft minky quilt…
A GO! friendly quilt…can’t you see this one made up using Civil War Scraps?!
Pretty nice, hey! And the staff is friendly, nice, helpful and VERY knowledgeable and have worked there forever-if they’re not family, then they should be!
If you should happen to go..be prepared to be overwhelmed as this shop has EVERYTHING…but don’t be afraid to ask the staff for help. The staff would love to help you find whatever it is you need! Didn’t I just tell you how nice they are…SEW go ahead and put it to the test!
There you have it…you can now say that you have been to the Cloth Castle…located on the main street of lovely Langford…just a short hop, skip and a drive North of Victoria. And don’t forget to tell them Sweet P sent you!
I have a busy day planned..this morning it’s a quick coffee with Claire at Starbucks, then we’re off to the Victoria Guild’s Quilt Show at Pearke’s Arena…maybe we’ll see you there!! If not…don’t worry I’ll be taking my camera!
Have a Fun Friday and Happy Quilting!~P
I'll bet you stayed in there for a looooong time, huh? I love the holiday cheer quilt too!
