Red Rooster Quilts

This shop has a great selection of fabrics for quilting and for coordinating. It’s a bit chaotic, and the cut table setup isn’t terribly user-​friendly, but I go here when I need to find something to go with something.

I happened upon this store completely by accident. I was in Dublin for a girls weekend and had driven past the store about ten times before anyone in our group even noticed it (the sign is very small and you’ll miss it completely if you’re not looking for it!). As we’re all crafters, we decided to check it out. They have a HUGE selection of fabrics; really pretty much anything you could ask for. They had a nice variety of clearance fabrics as well. Their hidden gem, in my opinion, is their one saleslady (and I wish I remembered her name!) who works the back cutting table. You explained your project to her and she immediately went into planning mode, pulling coordinating fabrics and different options. That woman has an eye for what looks best!
They do seem to cater to the quilting crowd and have a large selection of fabrics more suited to that. My only complaint is that the checkout process took quite a while and there were only 2 of us in line.

I have to admit, it’s taken me awhile to come around to Red Rooster, but now it’s one of my top-​three favorite quilt shops in Columbus.
In recent years, they’ve expanded their sewing machine sales, so that now takes up a rather large chunk of the store. Rooster has the best collection of Civil War reproduction prints in Columbus, and the biggest collection of baby/​childrens’ flannels. Also, I head straight here when I’m looking for Moda Bakeshop items, like Layer Cakes and Jellyrolls. Other shops carry them in Columbus, but often they only have one or two to choose from. Rooster will have at least half a dozen collections, if not more.
Gerri Robinson often displays her quilts here. She’s a quilt designer for McCall’s Quilting, and she lives in Dublin.
Rooster is kind of dimly lit, and packed with merchandise. They could definitely use an interior facelift at some point. Many of the projects displayed have a slightly more «primative» feel, which isn’t really my style, but it doesn’t change the fact that Rooster has one of the wider fabric selections in central Ohio.
Oh! And they have the best coupon book of anyone. Head there in December to get yours for the following year of savings!

I love this quilt shop! I’ve been there three times since I moved to the area, and each time the store’s been better than the last. My most recent visit (8÷10÷11) rewarded me with a SUPER buy on a lovely kit, as well as two books I specifically went there to purchase. I noticed they’ve beefed up their batik selection (kudos!), and they also had several great lines of Christmas fabrics. The store is very well organized, has beautiful samples, offers inriguing classes, great gifts, and a wonderful selection of fabrics — especially considering how the small physical size of the shop itself.
If you’re a quilter, I highly recommend visiting Red Rooster Quilts in Dublin!
