Today for our shop-hop we’ll be checking out The Granary in Sunnyvale, CA.

**Please note that I didn’t do a thorough inventory of each of these stores, so if I say I didn’t see something, it doesn’t mean they definitely didn’t have it, I just didn’t see it.

This is another shop that didn’t want me taking photos of the quilts, but it was impossible not to get some in the shots, so I have blurred them out when I couldn’t crop them out.

Web site: The Granary.

Location: 1326 S. Mary Ave, Sunnyvale, CA.

This shop is in a little shopping center at the southeast corner of Mary Ave and Fremont Ave. It’s set back from the road, but at least the sign actually says “The Granary.”



Basic Fabrics: The highlight of this shop as far as fabric goes is definitely the vintage reproduction 20′s-40′s fabrics that they carry. This is the biggest selection I’ve seen so far (though I know the Beverly’s carries quite a lot as well).





They have the usual color wall, batiks, Kona cotton solids, and traditional fabrics, as well as some kids and holiday prints. I didn’t see any Asian fabrics.

Color wall



Batiks



Kona cottons



Traditional fabrics



They carry a fair amount of Moda, including some French General, and they have a lot of precut fat quarters and half yards. That’s the French General on the right.



Designer Fabrics: I saw a little bit of Amy Butler Daisy Chain (below on the left), as well as the occasional Valori Wells or Alexander Henry, but they were mostly scattered about the store.



Other Types of Fabrics: They have a decent selection of flannels.





Sales Section: This is the sales section. I think these were 50% off, which is by far the best sales discount I’ve seen.



Classroom: Their classroom space is in the middle of the store in the back. I’ve been in there when there was a class going on, and it can be a bit crowded trying to get to the items around this space, like the Kona cottons, batting, sales section, and the big magazine rack below.



Batting and Notions: Decent notions wall and a small selection of batting on bolts and in packages.





Machines: This shop does not sell machines.

Other Items: The other strong point of this shop, in my opinion, is the books section. It’s fairly large and has a lot more of the kinds of books I might consider buying. They actually carry that Intuitive Color book I was looking for a couple months back. The pattern selection is also fairly extensive.
