Lisbon/Lisboa Quilt Store



This cute quilt and yarn store is in Lisbon, Portugal. 
It is called Rosa Pomar and the address is: Rua do Laredo, 61- 2 esq. (second floor)
1200-241 Lisbon, Portugal. You can also see it at retrosaria.rosapomar.com
They have great Portuguese yarn, gifts for sale, quilting classes and some fabrics, including a little bit of Portuguese fabrics.
I did buy some of the hand dyed yarn and a couple of meters of Portuguese "Chita" that is a type of cotton fabric that I know well from growing up in Brazil. The staff is very friendly and gave me more ideas of where to go to see and buy wonderful items made in Portugal. I don't have a photo of the stuff I bought. So, it will be another post.

    1. Celia,
      I think you will love Lisbon. I didn't visit any other quilt stores; but I bought a magazine "Casa Claudia Ideias" and it has some interesting stores; ie. Patchmania, and Meninos na Linha both in Oeiras. Again, I did not visit them, but would have done it if I had time.
      Let me know if you want any more info.

  2. I love a quilt store that has yarn as well and even better when it has gifts.

Inspired by the Barn Star Quilt

This quilt top was made with some orphan blocks (previously made), and star blocks that can be found in the book "Barn Star Sampler...
