The Creation Station Fabric and Quilt Shop is owned and operated by Dawn and Patrick Farrier, a wife & husband team based in Buellton, California, USA. This page will provide you with a little information about our shop.

Our shop is quite unique as is our inventory. All of our fabric is 100% cotton, top-quality and value-priced at $6 per yard. Most of our fabric is at least one "fabric-season" old -- which means that we can purchase it at a lower price and sell it to you at a significant savings!

In addition to our shop, we travel frequently to quilt shows all over California. Once there, we sell our pre-cut fabric to our distant customers. You may have already purchased fabric from The Creation Station at your local quilt show but didn't know!

Don't be fooled by the booth at our show -- you see, we only take cut fabric to quilt shows. We have MUCH more in our store!

Days/Hours of operation:
Open Wednesday - Saturday: 10 am to 5 pm
Open Sunday: 10 am to 4 pm
Closed Monday & Tuesday

Our store is located inside a former bowling alley in Buellton, California. We haven't occupied the entire building (yet) but our shop is spacious at 2800 square feet and offers us plenty of room for the thousands of cotton prints we stock.

Traveling to our store will allow you to purchase not only from our selection of cut fabric but also from the huge selection available as yardage. Our stock is more than 1/2-yard and 1-yard cuts.

We carry thousands of prints still "on the bolt" so you can back your quilt, sew a garment, create curtains or whatever you desire! The only "catch" is that we only cut in 1/2 yard increments. The price is the same for you -- $6 per yard!

Once inside you'll need time to browse, whether you sew or not. We invite you to enjoy our collection of vintage sewing machines, vintage patterns, family photos and lawn sprinklers (yes, lawn sprinklers!).

Nearly every display in our shop is "recycled" from its previous use or is something we have constructed. Nothing is conventional and we love to put an old item to use in a new way!

We carry hundreds of patterns and books and make a special effort to carry many patterns from independent designers that you may not have found elsewhere. Our walls are adorned with quilt, bag and project samples and the pattern for each is located with the sample or a sign on the sample will direct you right to its location. No wasting time wandering around, looking for the pattern!

We carry all of the necessary notions you need to complete your project and we carry a full line of hand and machine needles. We also stock Mettler, YLI and Superior brand threads.

At least ten times a year we hold our Brown Bag Retreat. This is an opportunity for quilters/sewers to get away from their everyday chores and relax on our turf. We hold our Brown Bag Retreats in our very own Retreat Center. It's attached to the shop and is 2400 square feet of quilters paradise.

These events have proven so popular that we have expanded our schedule to accomodate more dates every year. You can find out more about our Brown Bag Retreats by clicking on the "Retreats" button at the top left of this page.

The Creation Station is a member of the Central Coast Quilt Shop Association. All of the shops in our Association participate in the Central Coast Quilt Shop Tour." The "Tour" is always held over the first weekend in June. We have a LOT of fun during The Shop Tour and we work to make it an opportunity to entertain YOU as well as provide some quilting/sewing tips and ideas.

This year the Central Coast Quilt Shop Tour is Friday - Sunday, June 5 - 7, 2009. For more information, click on the button above marked "Special Events."
