Pretty Quilt Shop

There is a new quilt shop in town called “Pretty Quilt”! It is the first quilt shop in the expat community of Nichada Thani, a suburb north of Bangkok. Nicole Park, one of our local quilters, owns this creative and fun shop. There are fabrics from Korea, Japan and Indonesia, kits, fat quarters, thread and cotton batting. The store is located on the 2nd floor of Oasis shopping center, next to the entrance for the Nichada Thani neighborhood on Samakee Road in Nonthaburi. Open Monday through Friday from 09:00 to 18:00. There are two quilting teachers and you can take classes in hand quilting and machine quilting. Go see the Kaffe Fassett fabric and all the cute quilting fabric and supplies.

Rotary cutters and mats

The JCC Shop, on Narathiwat Road near intersection with Surawong Rd Tel. 02-234-6564, 02-234-8861, 02-235-7773, 02-235-7896, 02-235-9109, 02-235-9215

The JCC shop carries the Olfa brand rotary cutters and accessories. If you take the BTS Skytrain, get off at the Chong Nonsi station. Walk out exit 4 onto Narathiwat Road. Walk straight ahead and the JCC shop is on your right before Narathiwat Road ends in an intersection with Surawong Road. If you are driving, you can park behind the shop. Unfortunately, the sign for the shop is hidden under the awning. It is almost impossible to see! Just remember it is on Narathiwat Road near the intersection with Surawong. The window of the shop has a giant stapler and stationery items.

Prices

Olfa rotary blades come in boxes of 6 blades and are labeled Olfa spare blade RB45-1. Wholesale price, if you buy several dozen, is about B120 per blade.

Quilt batting at Sri Song Swad shop in Chinatown, Bangkok

Sri Song Swad shop is a shop on Sampeng Lane which sells everything for babies and that includes quilt batting. The owner speaks English and he said that a wholesale roll of batting will fit in a taxi, so it is possible! He said it’s small enough but when you open it, it explodes and expands.  Haven’t tried it yet.  The only type of batting available in Thailand is polyester, so that’s what our quilt group uses for charity quilts.

#78 Sri Song shop – batting, flannel, plastic sheeting, mosquito nets, baby clothes and baby bedding. They sell white polyester batting in either thick or thin, brand name ‘Double Swallow’. You can buy a small pack or a large wholesale roll. I like the thin batting. It’s easier to machine quilt. The thin batting is 45 inches wide and the price is 45 baht per meter. The thick batting is 60 inches wide and the price is 125 baht per meter. The small packs have 2 meters of batting and are pretty easy to carry, or you can leave it at the shop and pick it up last. Sampeng is a walking lane, so you have to plan your shopping a bit!
