The Fig Leaf
Fort Collins, Colorado · Ships online too · Since 1982
Northern Colorado's oldest and largest quilt shop, running since 1982 with roughly 5,000 bolts of cotton fabric.
The Fig Leaf has been running in Fort Collins since 1982, and over more than four decades it's become both the oldest and the largest quilt shop in Northern Colorado — roughly 5,000 bolts of cotton on the shelves, plus what's said to be the largest Minky selection in the region.
That Minky depth is worth a special mention if you make baby quilts, blankets, or anything meant to be soft rather than pieced from quilting cotton — it's not a fabric every shop stocks seriously, and The Fig Leaf clearly does.
As a Brother machine dealer, they handle equipment too, and with classes running regularly, this is a shop built to serve every stage of a quilter's life in the same town for over forty years. Small towns don't always keep a fabric shop open that long, but Fort Collins has, and it shows in the depth of what's on the shelves.
