Welcome to Las Colchas, a unique quilt shop located in the heart of downtown San Antonio , TX . We are dedicated to the preservation of the art of quilting. Here, in our charming cottage (built from a Sears kit circa 1910) ,located at 110 Ogden Street, you will find a varied selection of the finest quality cotton quilting fabrics, textured textiles, books by expert quilters, the lasted patterns for wearables, wall hangings and bed size projects, kits and “needful” things. We specialize in reproduction fabrics : Civil War and thirties designs among them. Kits and patterns featuring Texas themes are always available. Books and individual patterns for wool work are a particular favorite to us. We carry a variety of colors in our woolens to make your design truly your own. These are also excellent for rug hooking. Many of our friends enjoy the old fashioned and newly rediscovered arts of embroidery, needle felting and punch needle. We will be offering classes in these crafts so please inquire about them. You will find these to be relaxing and a fun way to spend your precious leisure time. Guaranteed to lower blood pressure readings! Samples of our many kits hang throughout the house. Each kit contains fabric need for the top, binding. Many are our own unique designs, thanks to our talented staff . Many classes are available. Choose from patchwork, applique and Block of the Month among others. Furthering our desire to promote the origins as well as the modern methods of American quilt making, we are proud to offer Basic Hand piecing and hand quilting. We encourage all beginners to start their journey with the basic skills. There are very few shops where lessons of this type are still taught. We intentionally keep our class sizes small and reasonably priced. These blocks are portable so you can turn your time spent waiting for appointments into relaxing quilting time!
