Fabric shop in Montreal?
woodland Intermediate NY USA Member since 12/5/09 Posts: 2	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 12/9/09 6:23 AM I will be driving to Montreal for the day this weekend. My husband is there on on business leaving me the entire day to do as I wish. Since shopping where I live is limited (i.e. one shop that sells a limited amount of fabric and quilting supplies and NO needlework shops), I was hoping to indulge myself in some shopping for fabric or cross stitch patterns (my other love). Does anyone have a recommendation for a must-see fabric shop or needlework shop? Thanks so much.

About every other shop is a fabric shop. You should be able to get there by Metro if you want to. I know a few yarn shops (tricot en Francais), but haven't looked for cross-stitch supplies so maybe someone else will answer about that. ------ Fictionfan

You could easily spend quite a few hours up there. Assuming your husband is going to be downtown, you just have to get on the metro and get off at the Jean-Talon stop. St Hubert street is 1 or 2 blocks east of that stop. For my cross-stitching supplies, I go to Toronto ! There is a needlework shop (Jeanette's) on Queen Mary & Decarie, yarn and needlepoint if I remember correctly. ------ Claire 1seamatatime.blogspot.com Kenmore / Necchi BU Mira Singer 99 (3) / HD110 / 66 (RedEye) / 127 Treadle / 15-90 / 221

I remember when I was young there was a shop in Terrebonne. I do not know if it is there any more, I should go see when I go home in a few weeks. Hopefully this visit I will get my fabric fix on St-Hubert! Merci beaucoup. I just rememberd that Club Tissus in Laval has quilting and I think a few cross stich and felting items. It is on Hwy 440 Between HWY 13 and HWY 15. Here is the link to the site. Was happy to see that they did have english for you http://laval.clubtissus.com/en/home/ -- Edited on 12/9/09 6:15 PM --

I always make a stop there when I go to Montreal and always spend too much $$$... ------ http://www.jazz-couture.blogspot.com/ Before joining PR: 1 sewing machine Since joining PR: 6 sewing machines, kilometers of stash and tons of fun

Hello woodland, For the PR weekend in Montreal 2010 that will take place form June 18 o 20, Connie BJ, KayY, Rhonda in Montreal, Alex and I have come up with the Montreal fabric shopping dream list. If you send me a private message with your email address, I will send you back the Excel file with all addresses and comments. You can spend a day or 2 in Montreal for fabric shopping. I hope we can meet for the PR weekend. Anne-Marie ------ Mahler www.imanidoro.blogspot.com The lady who finally admits she has a stash... Well did not have one before joining PR review.

But I think I have enough to go on from the suggestions above. I travel to Montreal rarely, but I may now just have an excuse to do so more often. Thanks for all the suggestions.
