Melbourne Fabric Fix

From Time to Time I am asked by Quilters 
who are about to Visit Melbourne 
where they can go to get their Fabric Fix.

Now that really depends on a few things like
Where - When and How!

1.  WHERE are you Staying?

Let's presume it is in the Center of Melbourne.

Otherwise Known As:
The CBD (Central Business District)
The City
or Just "Town"


Quilt Shops in the CBD:

1.  Morris & Sons
Level 1, 234 Collins Street
Melbourne
PH: (03) 9654-0888
Open 7 Days - Various Hours

2.  Kimono House
Level 2- (Nicholas Building) 37 Swanston Street
Melbourne
PH:  (03) 9639-0565
Open 10 - 5 Tuesday to Saturday

3.  L'uccello
Level 2 - (Nicholas Building) 37 Swanston Street
[Cnr Flinders Lane - Enter via Cathedral Arcade]
Melbourne
PH:  (03) 9639-0088

4.  Tessuti  (Not Quilt Fabric but Worth a Look)

5. Lincraft

2. WHEN - Will you be Here?

And of Course if you happen to be "In Town" in APRIL, JULY or November
- You will be in the right Place at the Right Time!

Now If you want to Explore a bit further afield - the last Question is...

3.  HOW far do you want to Go?
and How are you going to Get There?

Jump on a Train and head off to Fairfield Station
and you will be within walking distance to:-

Cutting Cloth
282 Wingrove Street
Fairfield  Vic

Ph: (03) 9486-7781
Open 6 Days 9:30-4:30
and Some Sundays

You can get a Bus to:-
GJ's Discount Fabric (Quilt and Dance)
31 Steane Street
Fairfield  Vic

Ph: (03) 9482-5528
Open 6 Days - Various Times


And of Course - If you are staying in Melbourne and have your own transport (or a Very nice Friend who does) the Must Visit destination (in my opinion) is....

Chandler's Cottage 
Home to Leesa Chandler, her wonderful Team and Beautiful Fabric.
This address is in a new Industrial/Commercial Estate but don't let that put you off as you will most likely be directed to the Lint Chocolate Factory Outlet before you leave!

120 Canterbury Road
Braeside Vic

Ph: (03) 9587-3958
Open Tuesday - Friday 10 - 3


I have attached links to Websites for each of these Stores 
- Check for Times and Directions before heading Off!

More Addresses will be added - 
as I take you further away from the City to More Quilt Stores.
