A Piece of Cloth

A Piece of Cloth is a textile design and vintage textiles sourcing business. Established in 2009, A Piece of Cloth travels the world to find interesting and unique textiles. Specialising in Antique and vintage quilts, tops, fabrics and feed sacks. We make these available for sale at events, online or from our studio. Each one of the textiles we stock is hand selected on our international buying trips based on the uniqueness and strength of the print. We specialise in pre 1960s cottons. We do not stock synthetics and avoid blends. We believe in quality not quantity, and as such, many of our textiles are in very limited supply. We have an extensive selection of vintage and antique quilt tops, feed sacks, orphan blocks, quilts, cutters and fabrics to suit the needs of quilters interested in vintage quilting, restoration or just owning a piece of the past. Based in Geelong, Victoria, Australia. Only 55mins from Melbourne, its an easy drive down the Princes Hwy towards the coast and the Great Ocean Road. We are currently moving to a new location and will re-open mid to late March 2014 Currently we are only open during the week by Appointment Only. As this is a studio it is a very relaxed place to visit, come, browse and sing out if you have any questions.
