When nosotros drove southward looking for the create stand upwardly the starting fourth dimension time, I did a Google search for quilt shops, too this i came up. That was the twenty-four hr menstruum I visited Temecula Quilt Co., but I pose this i on my must-see list. My wish to encounter it grew to a greater extent than intense when my friend Darlene recommended it. We needed to a greater extent than avocados, having consumed all the ones nosotros bought on the starting fourth dimension trip, too hence it seemed a perfect twenty-four hr menstruum to brand this pilgrimage. Here's the link to their website.
Here's how the store looks when you lot approach. It's inward a long depression edifice amongst a Castilian tile roof. This sort of structure is i of my favorite things virtually California.
Walking through the front end door, it looks similar this.
Looking to the right...now, yer talkin'. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 wall of fabric. That's what nosotros came for, isn't it?
The store appears to endure pocket-size at starting fourth dimension glance, but at that spot were many rooms of textile to peruse, too at that spot was a whole lot of color. It turned out to endure much larger than it looked.
Look at how cute that tuffet is. I'm non certain what I would hit amongst a tuffet, but I intend they are adorable.
The store revealed itself to me slowly. I walked toward the dorsum from where I stood at the front end door. In this room were wools too flannels.
In fact, the whole room was devoted to wool fabrics. But wait...do you lot encounter what I see?
Up at that spot inward the upper right...Oh. My. Gosh. Now that's simply plainly cruel. How am I going to go out of hither without this pattern?
Well, the truth is, I didn't. It's a pattern inward v sections, too each i tin stand upwardly alone. The i inward the store was made from flannels, but I'll purpose scraps from my stash.
It sort of reminds me of the projection I accept inward the plant at home, Tuxedo Tales. And equally it turns out, Bonnie Sullivan designed both projects. You tin visit her website correct here. She has some cute woofie patterns too.
Just to the correct of that, I constitute something I haven't seen before. These were pre-printed antique postcards for making mini quilts. There was a huge variety, too you lot tin encounter to a greater extent than on the Olde American Antiques website correct here.
Here's the dorsum of the packet showing the 4 blocks contained inward this packet.
There are all kinds of these available. Here was i of cats.
And hither are a few minis made upwardly from these blocks.
Well, I fell inward dear amongst these, too I selected this i of tomatoes. It would endure a cute mini to hang inward my kitchen during tomato plant canning season...which sort of extends all summertime long.
These are the 4 blocks contained inward my packet, too I accept some killer cute tomato plant textile at abode that volition endure perfect amongst these.
Behind me inward this room were some patriotic prints.
Back out inward the principal business office of the store, at that spot was a wall of textile postcards amongst a sign maxim at that spot was a shape available. I similar the Irish Gaelic one, but they're all cute.
This is a Bernina shop, too hence it's ever fun to encounter what's novel amongst Bernina. It made me immature lady Big Bertha dorsum home.
Moving on, this room was devoted to infant too children's prints. I'm going to justice that virtually 50% was flannel.
Look at these cute Crayola prints. I accept that i minute from the left. The i on the correct was really tempting.
In the adjacent room were vivid boundary fabrics. You tin encounter a overnice collection of Kaffe Fassett at that spot on the right. I dear his stuff, but I don't buy a lot of it.
Turning straight to a greater extent than or less was a shelf total of pretty reds. Man, I loves me some cerise fabrics.
In the adjacent room were some novelty prints, too hither I saw something that was novel to me. See those cats on the dorsum wall?
Initially, I idea they were applique, but they turned out to endure a panel of cats.
There was i amongst a white background too.
And those were seriously tempting too.
To the left were some overnice blacks too whites, too some sewing-themed fabrics.
Heading dorsum out into the hall, at that spot was a overnice provide of notions of all kinds.
At the halt of the hall were nutrient fabrics too wine-themed fabrics.
I selected a few fabrics that caught my eye, too and then gulped difficult equally I paid for all this stuff. Fortunately, I was distracted yesteryear this mini quilt hanging behind the register. Isn't this pretty? I idea it was thread painting, but it was machine embroidery.
So what was the damage, you lot ask? Well, I loved this footling mini. There are 4 seasons of these, but only the summertime pattern had the camper.
For my regional print, I chose a fatty quarter of this one.
This i was on their shelf of sale fabrics at 50% off. I simply liked it. The circles are virtually the size of a half-dollar. I could encounter fussy cutting them to brand cornerstones for the correct quilt. I got a yard of that.
And too then this i was simply hence pretty. I picked upwardly ii yards of it.
So at that spot you lot go. This was a neat shop, too I'm certain I'll view i time again on time to come trips when nosotros wintertime over inward Hemet. They accept a punch bill of fare system, too I've already filled mine amongst quite a few punches. We'll endure back, too hence I'll proceed that handy when nosotros travel. If you're visiting Fallbrook, don't immature lady it.
