Excellent variety and selection of fabrics and patterns, as well as helpful staff. What else do you need to feed this addiction? I am fortunate and proud to have Katja's Quilt Shoppe in my community!
I love coming into Katja¹s Quilt Shoppe in Kamloops. A great variety
classes for all abilities. Their fabric, books and notion selection is
amazing, and how many of us did Katja get hooked on making hexagons?
But it¹s the shops atmosphere that's kept me coming back over the past
18 plus years. The staff is so helpful and talented and they are always
willing to help me figure measurements or work with color coordination. I
will keep coming back because when I walk in the door, I feel like I'm
right at home!
Katja's Quilt Shoppe is an excellent quilt shop for so many reason. I have always been warmly greeted by Katja and her staff and made to feel that I am a friend. Since 2003, I have received so much help in my quilting journey from Katja herself and her staff - Carla in the early days; Aileen and Paulette recently. From colour palette selections to the mathematics of how much fabric I nee, this staff have given generously of their time to me - in fact, to all of their customers. I have never been disappointed with the felp that I have received or the purchases that I have made at Katja's Quilt Shoppe.
I stopped by Katja's on our annual trip thru Kamloops as per our agenda. I had seen in The Country Register that she had written a new book...and on Dresden, which have always drawn me but I've never made because, well, I found them boring. Well let me tell you all, Katja's new book is NOT boring!!! Rather it's filled with really pretty Dresden with a twist. Katja, I wondered where your creative mind would take me and you surely did not disappoint. Thank you again for a fresh way to look at a traditional design. Now I honestly can hardly wait to get back to my Studio.

About Me
I was born in Germany and lived there until I was almost eight. My mother was a trained tailor and spent much of her life doing alterations at home so she could stay home with my sister and I. Growing up, I often spent hours playing “under my mother’s sewing machine”.
