Kimono House springs to mind a mili-second after GJ's. Another treasure-trove, run by another angel. Leanne is passionate about beautiful, beautiful Japanese textiles and has created a little slice of fabric heaven in the heart of the city. It's also in the Nicholas Building, which is one of my favourite places in the world.
Online I'm a big fan of Z&S Fabrics. When I need a bit of me-time I take my time to go through the clearance fabrics to find gems, then go through each of the designer ranges until I have a 6-yard bundle or two (I'm currently awaiting three bundles....).
This is the "currently being used" stash on my cutting table. Kimono House Poppy print on top of Z&S quilting fabrics stacked on top of GJ's cotton jersey.... It appears I'm going through a "pink and green" phase.... Thanks to Sharon for a fab theme, and for putting me on to Quilt Home in her post today.... (I thought I'd check it out and caught myself filling up a shopping cart. Thought I'd better do this blog post before I got too carried away with more fabric shopping! I'll get back to it in a minute...)
Thanks to Angela for This Is.

I definitely need to check out GJ's next time I'm on a fabric spree!
Everytime I used to go to Melbourne, a fellow quilter would drive me on a quilt shop tout, and GJs was the first stop.
Even now, I take the number 1 tram there by myself and always find something fabulous to buy!
GJ's is another Craft Diary me thinks!!..........but love yr post about Quilt Home....it's great service and because I use so much fabric it's great value on US designers, especially as I love Amy Butler.
Yum! Look at all that eye candy - just what this fabricaholic loves to see!
Thanks for the heads up on great places to fabric shop.
Never been to any of these places but whenever I am in Melbourne I know where to go!Thanks for sharing:)
Aw man, wish I knew all this BEFORE I last went to Melbourne! Then again, maybe it's best for my purse that I didn't!! :D The Thread Den did enough damage as it was....
At least I'll know where to go next time - thanks!
How I wish I could go to this fabric store, I think I would be there forever!
I can't wait to get down to Melbourne and check out the fabric shops there!
