Ketchikan does not have a gang problem, unless you count the dedicated quilters who frequent the Silver Thimble Quilt Shop at Salmon Landing. During store hours, you can find them browsing high-quality prints and batiks, sharing their latest creations, or working away on fundraising quilts for good causes. (They are often raising money to help kids with medical travel or for folks with cancer.)
The Silver Thimble has been in business for more than thirty years, providing locals with much more than just fabric and thread. Its large airy space is the perfect spot for artisans to gather and share their passion for quilting.
Silver Thimble is a five-minute walk from the cruise ship docks. Head on over to chat with the local gang and to pick up some fun Alaska-themed prints and quilt block sets – even some patterns exclusive to Ketchikan!
