Northern Threads
Fairbanks, Alaska · Ships online too
Fairbanks' largest quilt and sewing shop, known for hand-painted Alaska-themed fabrics near the airport.
Northern Threads holds the title of Fairbanks' largest quilt and sewing shop, and its hand-painted Alaska-themed fabrics are the reason quilters well outside Fairbanks know the name — these aren't printed designs, they're painted, which makes each piece genuinely one of a kind.
Beyond the fabric, the shop handles longarm services and machine repair, making it a full-service stop near the airport rather than a fabric-only operation. If you're passing through Fairbanks, the hand-painted prints alone are worth the detour.
