A Little Bit About Riverlea
Riverlea Cottage Quilts was established in 1989 by Lyn Uppill in her farmhouse at Salter Springs. The shop moved to Unley in 1993 and has since expanded taking up an adjoining shop which is now the workroom where classes are held during school terms.
The shop boasts 4000 + bolts of fabric and caters for all tastes and arguably has the best range of quilting fabrics in South Australia. You can browse through the shop and choose from the wonderful brights of Jan Mullen and Mary Lou Weidmann or fabulous batiks, through to an extensive range of African, Japanese and Reproduction prints and of course the ever popular country favorites.
Even if you are just visiting Adelaide, South Australia make sure you put Riverlea Cottage Quilts on your itinerary. If you aren't planning a trip ring or e-mail us, we will gladly cater to mail order if you can't make it to the shop.
To keep up to date on the latest arrivals and classes make sure you join our Yahoo mailing list just go to our website and click on the link to join the Riverlea newsletter list and simply follow the prompts.
