The store in Sitka is called Abby's Reflection. It's a combo clothing store and quilt shop. The towns in SE Alaska are small and isolated and likely the "must-go-to" quilt shop will be the only store in town that sells fabric - some actual quilt shops and others part quilt shop/part other merchandise.

I grew up in Sitka and IMO, SE Alaska is an amazingly beautiful part of this world and I hope you get to go! Enjoy!!

Yes, I too, recommend the Sitka quilt shop. Very friendly service and beautiful fabrics. Buy all you need of the Alaska theme fabrics because they are hard to find. I learned the hard way. Have a wonderful trip.

I grew up in Kodiak, then Sitka. Since you had all the references for the SE quilt shops, I thought you may have been a Southerner. :-D
