Yet another quilting find,
Tricia's Discount Fabrics which you can find in Melrose Park a suburb in
Adelaide SA. Unfortunately, the store doesn't have a website so here
are their address and contact details:
11-13 Price Street
Melrose Park SA 5039
Ph: 08 8177 1041
In
terms of opening hours, the store is open seven days a week - YEAH! I
love Adelaide but it can be difficult to find quilting stores open on
Sundays, Saturday yes, but very few on Sunday.
Next thing to tell
you about Tricia's Discount Fabric is make sure you have plenty of time
for a good look around the store. I didn't realise how big it was and
with a husband waiting in the car, even after 20 mins, no way had I had a
good look through the whole place. Are you starting to get the sense
that this is a big store? If you haven't then, take it from me that
this store is more like a small warehouse than your usual
fabric/quilting shop.
So what sort of fabric did they have? To
be honest, after nearly 30 mins there, I still didn't get a real sense
of whether the store specialise in one type of fabric or another. All I
can tell you is that I'm pretty confident that no matter what your
taste, I'm sure you will find something you will like. I know I did. I
ended up walking out with some Christmas fabric to make a table runner
for our new dining room table; and a few other pieces I discovered. Yes
they had novelties, seasonal, juvenile, floral, and so much more. If
you want flannel, they had the biggest selection I've seen to date.
In
terms of patterns and books, unless they had them hidden elsewhere not
as much as I've found at other shops. Saying that, I just received
their latest newsletter and it said they had new patterns in stock. If
you need thread and other notions, they definitely had a very good
selection.
Overall, definitely worth a visit - I got my husband to save the store in our GPS!
