Elfriede's Fine Fabrics
Boulder, Colorado · Ships online too · Since 1974
Boulder's woman-owned fine fabric shop since 1974, specializing in natural-fiber quilting and garment textiles.
Elfriede's Fine Fabrics has been woman-owned in Boulder since 1974, which puts it among the longer-running fabric shops you'll find anywhere in Colorado. Over fifty years is long enough to have outlasted plenty of fashion cycles, and the shop's focus on natural-fiber fabrics — for quilting and garment sewing both — has clearly held up.
That range matters: this isn't a shop that only thinks in quilting cotton. Carrying Liberty of London prints alongside heirloom notions signals a shop that serves garment sewists and heirloom needleworkers just as seriously as quilters, and that natural-fiber focus tends to draw people who care as much about how a fabric feels and drapes as how it prints.
Half a century in the same college town is a real accomplishment, and it's worth a visit whether you're piecing a quilt or cutting out a blouse.
