Loving quilting is synonymous with loving fabric...and usually translates to all fibers. Many quilters usually are participating in other fiber activities...knitting, cross stitching, garment making, needlepoint, punch-needle, rug hooking...the list is long! When my friend Michiko of Michiko's Suede Shop told me about a shop in Portland within walking distance to downtown, I had to seek it out! Located in Chinatown, Kiriko is filled to the brim with beauty. Not only vintage Kimono fabrics by the yard, but to my surprise, it is an actual sewing room where most of the products are created on the spot! Whether it be clothing, scarves, coasters, ties, totes, or other beautifully stitched items! This is a must-visit island of creativity. Piles of fabrics surround the sewing machine and ironing board and you just know something wonderful is being created!!! Definitely add this shop to your must-visit list in Portland, Oregon. You won't be disappointed at the beauty within. If you cannot make it there, they have a website, Kiriko, and orders over $100 within the US ship for free. I hope you enjoy yourself!
