Maybe I was likewise embarrassed virtually adding all the same to a greater extent than stuff to my stash to cry that I'd visited a quilt store over the weekend. But, yes, I did indulge inwards my other hobby...fabric acquisition...while nosotros were inwards Oregon City. I blame Molly the cat. She told me virtually the shop, although I already knew virtually it. Still, it's Molly's mistake for putting the stance inwards my head.
So later I took the Boat Captain dorsum to the launch to alternative upward his truck too trailer, I headed over to Cedar Ridge Quilts.
Initially, I drove past times because it's located inwards a shopping middle too non visible from the road. Walking through the front end door, it looks similar this.
To my left was a display of small-scale prints.
The possessor was quite friendly. She had some fabrics I hadn't seen before, despite my recent trip to a greater extent than or less the USA of quilt shops. When I mentioned this, she told me her store had solely been opened upward 8 months, too then all of her inventory consisted of really recent acquisitions.
There were some pretty Asian prints too Aboriginal prints. Also on that shelf at the top, some existent beauties. I loved this one, too I picked upward a yard.
There was also a prissy display of pretty batiks.
She had a lot of small-scale scale too civil nation of war prints.
I similar these indigo blues. Sometime I'd similar to brand a quilt inwards these colors.
On the far side of the store was a classroom area.
Toward the dorsum of the store, tone-on-tones, too gingham.
She had a skilful render of wool too flannel.
There were to a greater extent than calicoes toward the bring upward of the store,
too at that spot was a long-arm too sewing studio toward the back. I intend this is how a lot of quilt shops come upward into existence. It's a identify for soul to accept a sewing studio too sell some stuff on the side. If I were xxx years younger, I would then endure doing the same thing.
She also had a prissy render of fabric, including Laura Heine too Crabapple Hill.
I looked at this side past times side stuff for a long fourth dimension too ended upward amongst 2 yards of it. I intend it volition brand a prissy dorsum for the flamingos. It's looking to a greater extent than bluish inwards this icon than it truly is. My eyes saw the vivid pinks too oranges. The blues too aquas were only a bonus.
They shouldn't squawk likewise much virtually that backing, should they?
So I enjoyed my watch to this shop. It's quite some distance from my home, too inwards general, small-scale scale prints aren't the ones I commonly gravitate to. Still, if I get-go making to a greater extent than minis, this powerfulness only endure a skilful identify to alternative upward some prints that would operate well. In whatever case, the possessor was a delight, too it's good worth a stop-in if you lot abide by yourself inwards Oregon City.
Interestingly, spell I was there, a adult woman came inwards amongst a fusible applique slice she'd made. The applique was then hard to discern that I wondered if it was a printed panel. Nope...definitely, upon closer inspection, I could encounter that it was indeed applique. She was using a production called Soft Fuse, too nosotros had a conversation virtually the benefits. It powerfulness endure a skilful alternative to Heat 'n Bond Lite. I ended upward ordering a small-scale packet from Amazon, too it's immediately sitting inwards my sewing room waiting for me to hand it a try. I'll written report back, although when I'll create that is anyone's guess.
