ads

As I mentioned inward my previous post, nosotros visited a quilt store today. Here's the history behind this visit: When nosotros decided to larn to Bandon, I got on my telephone in addition to asked my friend Siri to respect quilt shops inward Bandon. Siri constitute the 1 at this website: Forget-Me-Knots. And if you lot click on that link, you'll run into the "new store hours" since March of 2019 are Th through Sabbatum from 10-5. And I thought, really? They're actually alone opened upward 3 days per week?

So, I wrote to the shop, thinking that had to live on approximately variety of mistake. Nope. Really. Those are the hours. And since we're hither Lord's Day through Wednesday, I sent them a crying human face upward icon in addition to said I was pitiable I'd fille them. And in addition to therefore I got a message dorsum maxim she was semi-retired, in addition to she was inward the store another days. So, I had inward take away heed to elbow grease past times in addition to run into if they were opened upward spell we're here, when I got a message shortly earlier nosotros left telling me she which days she'd live on inward the store this week. I thanked her for that information in addition to said we'd catch today...Monday.

So hither nosotros are:


Actually, I took the movie of the storefront later I'd already been inside. Interestingly, she'd already hung upward the shut sign. It was every bit if she were simply waiting for me to exhibit up, in addition to and therefore she shut the store again. There was a grouping inward the dorsum room sewing, in addition to therefore in that place was something going on inside, but I don't mean value she was actually interested inward whatever employment organization that day. Either way, it was really dainty of her to adapt the dates of our catch to Bandon. The edifice is for sale, in addition to I attain got an persuasion this quilt store isn't long for this world.

Walking inward the front end door in addition to looking left, I saw this:


Looking right, I saw this:


She had approximately cute panels printed on cloth for many unlike topics, including this 1 for cats. There were approximately for dogs, nurses, wine, faith, hope...you call it, in that place was likely a panel amongst words of wisdom in addition to cute trivial slogans on it.


There were also paper-piecing patterns for most (if non all) the lighthouses on the Oregon coast. I'll tell you, these were really tempting, but sanity prevailed when I considered the damage of purchasing all of them.


Here was a cute idea, novel to me. These were trivial cone-shaped pieces of fabric, hemmed on the edges in addition to sewn amongst 1 seam on the back. They were also lined amongst fusible web, in addition to they served every bit "lamp shades" for vino glasses. Very cute.


Inside was a trivial electrical tea light.


Fabric alternative was a trivial sparse, in addition to their notions, buttons, thread, etc., were on racks that were well-nigh one-half empty. It actually appears to live on a store on the verge of closing every bit shortly every bit the edifice is sold.

Since I've already made my Shop Hop quilt, I asked myself if I wanted to proceed collecting regional prints, in addition to the response is yes. I mean value I'll likely brand the quilt blocks every bit I larn this time, making inset circles in addition to finishing off a quilt when I've collected anywhere from 12-20 blocks. So, amongst that, I chose a fatty quarter of this 1 for the lighthouse in addition to the mariner's range design. It reminded me of the Circles inward the Sand.


From there, nosotros headed over to the Coquille Lighthouse, mentioned inward my previous post. I'd nation halt into this store if you're inward Bandon, but you lot powerfulness desire to telephone phone ahead in addition to brand certain it's even therefore there. Either way, whatever 24-hour interval amongst a catch to a quilt store is a practiced day.
