The Nimble Thimble Quilt Shop

Lovely quilt shop in Gilroy with a good selection of colorful modern fabrics. Large selection of white-on-whites and a small selection of batiks. Fabrics are sorted mostly by color (with a few collections grouped together). I found plenty of fabrics for my stash I had not seen at other quilt shops in recent months. Notions, accessories, and other craft items for sale as well. The proprietor was friendly and shared knowledge of the local area. There is a space in the back for classes and free parking on the street. They will also do 1/8 yard cuts if that’s your thing. If you’re driving down (or up) the 101 and love quilting, make sure to stop at this shop! It is also featured in the current issue of Quilt Sampler.

This is a great shop to visit! It is much bigger than you would think. The store front is small but the shop is extra long and is full of amazing stuff! Very friendly with good prices, sales and classes.

Amazing quilting cottons of fine quality. They also have the latest fabric lines so all the prints and solids flow smoothly together in color choices. Their flannels are amazing and I'm not talking about your cold winter night flannels. These are actually shirt or fashion quality in lovely plaids and solids. All your quilting needs are met here. They also sell machines and I'm not sure if they offer long arm service. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I like the quaintness of the shop and surrounding town. It's like stepping back in time.

Linda was very welcoming and friendly. She helped my daughter choose a good fabric for her particular sewing project. Also, my daughter’s sewing teacher said that the fabrics at this shop are much less prone to shrinking than those found at other shops.

I SOOOO much enjoyed visiting this store during the recent "Shop Hop." All staff were helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable on a wide range of topics. The owner, Linda, is the nicest of the lot, and was very helpful in selecting my next sewing machine. The fabric and "tools" selections were wide and reasonably priced. Next time I'll pack a couple of meals and plan to spend the whole day and possibly an overnight in that shop, becoming inspired on a dozen future projects.

My friend and I went here and we spent way too long going through their great selection of fabrics. Some ladies that helped answer questions didn't even work there! They were super sweet. The owner took time to talk with us and answer questions. I'll definitely be back. This is the kind of business that should make it and be supported in Gilroy! Also the classes offered sounded spectacular!

Linda the owner is fablous. She has a nice selection of fabric. She is welcoming and knows her stock well. Just come in and browse. She is moving soon a block away to a bigger place! If you just want to sew, call her first and usually it is not a problem. If you have questions, she will gladly help. Her shop is worth a stop. Easy on/off the freeway.

This store has an astounding selection of quilting fabric, plus many useful notions. The owner and staff are so friendly, you'll want to stay a couple of hours...

Great pleasant shop with lots of choices when it comes to material, threads, patterns, inspiration, classes. Very helpful personnel! One of my Favorite Quilt Shops.

My go-to store for all sewing things. Quality fabric. Great selection. In the heart of beautiful downtown Gilroy. Love this new location.
