Rachael`s Fabric Shop - Quilt Shops on Waymarking.com

Barbara Harris bought 5 year old Rachael's Fabrics, in Lubbock, Texas in 1985. After years of an Art Career at home, she could finally work at what she truly loved most: sewing and people. In 1992, she moved the Rachael's crew into an abandoned Swenson's Ice Cream building and we have had a ball making it home. 2005 is our 25th Anniversary. The shop is literally a fabric wonderland, known over much of the United States as "the" place for wedding and other unusual fabrics as well as fine linens, rayons, and party and prom fabrics; and lots of quilting fabrics! All of these are kept at the front of the shop in the old main restaurant still lighted by Tiffany stained glass fixtures. The marble ice cream soda bar has been transformed into a cutting table and checkout complete with barstools and a brass foot rail. The ice cream store room is now home to Brother and Pfaff embroidery/sewing machines and sergers while the huge old refrigerator room serves as our class room. Barbara and Bobbie's offices are central the to entire place, with both doors wide open as customers come in and out of the once used kitchen. Robert's repair department is at the side entrance and he even gives curb service if you can't get your machine out of the car! Quilting fabrics and patterns are cornered on one side of the classroom and patterns and buttons are on the other. The powder room is detailed with a chintz sofa, an antique vanity, and George Strait photos!
