Mercería Cris

An air of calm and a delightful aroma of coffee permeate the rear space of Mercería Cris, where students work intently on their pieces, guided expertly by Cris through a morass of fabric, thread, and patterns. Here, there's more to making a patchwork quilt than simply mastering a sewing technique. The students set their own limits, deciding to craft a blanket or quilt, a personalized toiletry bag, or a tapestry featuring a personal interpretation of Picasso's 'Guernica' - a project that earned an article in the local press. And the best thing about the place is that you never run out of whatever you need.
