Ruth’s Stitchery

Helpful & knowledgable clerks. Nice selection & beautiful displays of examples of crafts.

This shop has everything, fabric, patterns, supplies, needle craft, but try ordering something they don’t have! Went in there twice over a 2 month period & tried to order a knife for my Viking serger. Both times they said they would order it, but yet never wrote anything down or put it in the computer. At least the first time I went in, they checked for the part in the back. The 2^nd time they wouldn’t even check. They just kept saying they didn’t think they had it, but would order it. Really? When? Next year? I finally just ordered the parts online. So much for trying to support the local businesses. I’ll just keep ordering everything online, much more convenient.

Ruth’s is amazing! I am a quilter, and they have the best fabric selection, especially my favorite: batik! It is so easy to be inspired by all the display quilts. I have purchased one of their kits for one of the display quilts and they made it so easy! Everything was precut, labeled, and organized by block.
They also have an amazing staff of experienced sewers and quilters. I haven’t had a chance to take one of their classes, but I’ve gone to the «sew-​ins» when you can bring in a project you are working on and get support on it if needed.
One of my favorite places to go in CS.

I cant think of one negative thing to say about this quilt shop. Beautifully set up… easy access to everything. Amazing quilts and stitch work hanging everywhere! Truly inspirational. The sales staff is friendly and helpful but leave you alone as you are browsing. The offer a ton of classes. You should definitely check this place out.

I loved this shop! It is a nice big shop with an awesome selection for quilters and stitchers. Nice displays and friendly staff made my visit and enjoyable experience. There were lots of regulars in the shop and visitor like myself. This place is well worth checking out. The fabrics are the stars of this shop but it was fairly well stocked with fibers and charts for the various needle arts. While visiting Colorado Springs last year I made two stops in this shop and both were positive experiences. The staff was very helpful and the displays and models very nicely done. I bought linen and some fat quarters plus a few charts plus the mills beads to go with them.
They had a nice display of cute scissors, tools and stitching accessories. If I was a quilter I think I could do major damage to my credit card here.

I originally went into Ruth’s for cross stitch supplies, and found a great selection of patterns and threads. Ruth’s offers a great selection of linens, Weeks Dye Works, DMC, and Sampler Threads products.
After I finished my cross stitch project, I decided to give punch needle a try. I had never done it before, but the staff at Ruth explained the process to me and helped me find everything I needed.
I’ve now moved on to a quilting project, and once again I’ve found a ton of great materials at Ruth’s– they have a large selection of fabrics and batiks, and a nice array of fat quarters.
Every time I go into Ruth’s, its packed with seasoned quilters and sewers– I think that’s a good sign.
