Kathrines Quilte Stue

Kathrines Quilte Stue ( Quilt cabin) is a friendly shop located in the city of Oslo, directly behind the Royal castle. So if you ever visit Oslo....visit this shop - it's truly unique and welcoming.

Kathrine established her buisness in her father's garage. For years this was where the shop was located. She then moved it to Tønsberg, and in 2004 she relocated the shop permanently to Oslo, for which we are truly grateful.

The shop is light and airy. You are always greeted with a smile and a "Welcome, can I help you". The shop has a large number of regular customers. It's a natural part of our environment, so if we're ever in the neighbourhood it feels awkward not to stop by and say hello.

The shop holds some 3000 bolts of fabric. They carry designers like Amy Butler and Heather Baily, numerous of Japanese and a broad variety in standard bolts. There are always a number of different fatquarter bundles to be purchased. From small ones containing about 10 fatquarters up to the ones with 24 in them.

The possibilities are many at this shop. In spring and autumn they have numerous workshops to attend. The teachers are well recognized for their craft, and they bring a great variety to the trade. It's always with a tingling sensation I read the new workshop catalogue.

The workshops have been about:

#Basic techniques for the new quilter
#Traditional patchwork, by hand or by machine

#Shabby chic and vintage interior designs

#Transferels of picures on to fabrick in use for pillows and purses

# New ways to see colours and use them with traditional blocks

#Stitcheries (Block of the month)

# Buggy Barn Quilts

# Amy Butler patterns and fabricks

Stitchery is something that layes close to heart. This quilt (above) is called A gift of friendship, and it contains classic piecing, stitchery and appliqué. It is absolutely adorable.

They also have a new Block-of the- month quilt, called "Polka-Dot Girls". It's a fun project to do. This, as previous block of the month quilts, combine traditional patchwork and stitchery. It has shown to be very popular among the customers..

They also carry pre-made fabric packages with patterns. On display in the shop at the moment is the beautiful: "Remember When...."

They know how to keep their customers happy and inspired. The displays are always fresh and tempting. It's not possible to walk out with at least a bundle and some tread. They also have a large quantity of patterns and books to tempt you with....

Kathrine, the shop owner, is always on the lookout for new designers and products. She travels to the US twice a year to visit the fairs from which she purchases exciting stuff to bring home.
