There is Raintree Quilting in Juneau, AK. It is in the Airport
shopping mall, which is not far from the Nugget mall, but cleverly is
*not* at the airport. It is not visible from the road, you sort of
have to know where it is. Ask the locals how to get to the Airport
shopping mall, or try Google with the name and address, or get a taxi
there from the airport, etc. Nice folks, and who knows, maybe they
will have a sale when you're there.
Incidentally, there is a book out called "Quilts of Alaska" which is
put together by Gastineau Channel Historical Society and I met the
editor, Alma Harris when I was in the state archive doing research and
she was doing research as well. I happened to get the last (and
signed!) copy in Juneau when I was there... but maybe there will more
when you're in Alaska. Try Hearthside bookstore in the Nugget mall or
Rainy Day books on Seward street downtown. The quilt on the cover is
made of mallard duck skins - this book has all sorts of quilts in it
and is very interesting!

thank you Jo. That is what I needed to know. Leaving extra space in my
suitcase for S.E.X.


I know there is a fabric store (probably more than one) in Anchorage
because I was there in 1994. I can't remember the name. Have you
tried putting "fabric shop Alaska" into a search engine? I did that
for LA and stumbled upon a shop locator that listed 5 pages of shop
names, address and phone numbers. Very hand. Mat still hasn't
purchased fabric for me yet though.

I can't look tonight but will send the info shortly for Anchorage. I was to
two stores in 2000. Great stores from what I remember too.

I typed "anchorage alaska fabric shop" into Google and found the
following: http://www.fabdir.com/alaska.html It lists fabric shops
for many towns and cities in Alaska. Have fun!

There was (and still might be) a quilt shop/embroidery shop in Sitka right
across from the Russian Orthodox cathedral downtown.

There use to be a shop in Ketchikan,i'll haeve to look it up and see if I can
find the name and if it's still there.

Enjoy. sitka is my idea of Paradise.
don't forget to take time to walk through Totem Park.

I am turning green with envy.
