Picking Daisies
San Luis Obispo, California · Since 2008
A modern SLO fabric shop that grew from a home napkin business into a nationally ranked top-10 quilt shop.
Picking Daisies has an origin story worth telling on its own: it started in 2008 as a home-based napkin business before growing into a modern fabric shop in San Luis Obispo, and along the way it's earned a spot on national top-10 rankings of quilt shops. That's not a small claim, and it's the kind of recognition that only comes from a shop doing something right for years, not months.
The fabric leans modern — the kind of clean, contemporary prints that draw in quilters who came up on Instagram rather than reproduction calicos — and the shop also stocks apparel sewing patterns, which broadens its appeal past strictly quilting customers.
If you're on the Central Coast, this is a shop with a real reputation behind it, built from a kitchen table up to a nationally ranked storefront. Worth the stop if you're driving through SLO.
