Canby Quilt and Fabric is located in the center of Canby on First Street. We offer a variety of fabrics, books, kits, notions and classes. Come in and see us, take classes, share your projects and get inspiration from our samples.
We also have finished quilts for sale, for those unfortunate folks who don't make their own!
Canby Quilt promotes local talent in stocking Canby area resident’s patterns and samples.
Random acts of kindness are known to happen here.
Embroidery Supplies
We have an extensive selection of Brazilian Embroidery threads, needles, trigger cloth and other supplies for the beginner and the experienced stitcher. Edmar, JDR and more are available here. Embroidery stitchers will also find Sulky Threads, DMC threads and a good selection of patterns for traditional and contemporary styles.
You can't beat Aunt Martha's patterns for designs of our past, but Crabapple Hill brings the stitching tradition to life for new designs. Tea towels on the roll, as well as cut goods found here.
Youth Sewing Program
Canby Quilt & Fabric is continuing the Youth Sewing program which we began in 2010, with the continuing support of the Canby Quilt Show proceeds. Enroll your youth now for the fall session. Our vision continues to operate as in the past:
Up to 6 youth students will come in after school for a beginning sewing class once a month for 3 months. When they have mastered the beginning criteria, they will move to tier 2. They will come for 3 months, once a month, until they have that segment mastered, moving up to tier 3 and then to tier 4. While these students are progressing, a new group will begin their beginning sewing class and moving up. The ultimate goal is to have a weekly class with various learning skills and criteria provided.
For this vision, Debbie Barber will be our principal instructor, with volunteers to help and fill in. We are excited for her to begin, as we know that our youth may not have the opportunity to learn this elsewhere.
What can you do to help? If you have a working beginning type sewing machine that you could donate to this program, it would be much appreciated. Not a fancy, computerized machine, just a plain Jane that goes forward and back, with a zigzag stitch. These students need to learn about the machine and how it works.
There will be a cost of $15 per student, per tier, as even a minimal fee adds value. The donations of the show will supply the rest. If a student just can not pay the fee, scholarships will be available from the show fund.
Another way you can help is to send us your youth, boys and girls. The classes will remain small for many reasons, but we hope to have many students sewing this time next year, and for many years after that!
Thank you for all your help, in any way you can. For more information contact Sandy – Canby Quilt 503-263-3563
2011 Canby Quilt Show provided $250 to this program.
