Lucky us to stumble upon Durango Quilt Company inwards our travels yesterday. My friend "Unknown" informed us we'd instruct correct past times it on the route nosotros were traveling. I'd form of heard of it earlier this trip, but didn't realize we'd last driving correct by. We didn't receive got to deviate from our path fifty-fifty i block to run across it, therefore what the heck? Their large parking lot that would easily conform our large rig was inviting too.
I was a picayune confused close where to enter. There were double doors to a greater extent than or less front...
as well as a smaller side door to the left inwards that ikon above. Seeing the hours posted as well as the "open" sign convinced me to accept the side door. I think I came inwards through the back, as well as this is what I saw.
The store was inwards a fleck of disorder. They were simply a few weeks away from moving to a novel location. From the road, i tin run across a for sale sign posted for the building. Because of the move, most everything inwards the store was on sale, which was a proficient matter for me. It made it a proficient solar daytime to visit. There were tables of bolts similar the ones below where all the cloth was 50% off.
These one-yard cuts were purchase 4 as well as instruct the fifth i free.
Also, all their sample quilts, formerly hung on the walls, were for sale.
This seems to last a store by as well as large devoted to batiks, as well as they had lots of pretty ones inwards all colors.
I powerfulness receive got been tempted past times those pastels below, except I'm sworn off cloth for a fleck unless it's to last used inwards a detail project. Honestly, I cannot store whatever to a greater extent than cloth inwards my sewing room, as well as I dubiety I tin purpose what I receive got inwards the length of life left to me. (She says, earlier telling you lot what she ended upwards buying.)
There was a whole roomful of wools as well as flannels.
There were a few Christmas prints. I suppose it's simply a tad early on for Christmas, as well as inwards whatever case, I hold off they'll receive got to a greater extent than i time they displace to their novel location.
This beautiful panel caught my eye. I dared non expression at the cost because I dubiety I could receive got resisted had it been on sale....but I did. Yay, me.
These panels were all on sale. I receive got the Dream Big panel sandwiched for quilting...the i you lot run across in that location on the right. It's a non bad panel for practicing gratuitous motion quilting.
Oh boy...I was mightily tempted past times these colorful prints on black. Some proficient binding fabrics there.
They had quite a few calicoes.
And I looked closely at these scarlet as well as white fabrics, as well as the digital prints below. You powerfulness recognize the i on the lower shelf, 4th from the right.
I used it inwards my flamingo quilt terminal year.
In the dorsum room, they had a squeamish pick of patterns...
notions...
as well as a wall of thread. I honey all that color.
Also a provide of embroidery patterns from Crabapple Hill Studios. I didn't run across anything hither that I didn't already receive got at home.
This i was cute, but I didn't run across a pattern for it.
Now these...they proved every bit good hard to resist. Besides, I powerfulness necessitate to stave off stitchery starvation (awesome alliteration) if I complete upwards the Farm Fresh Eggs earlier nosotros instruct home.
There were ii patterns, each containing ii seasons. Despite having visited quilt shops inwards Minnesota, this is a designer I've non seen before. Their website says they specialize inwards small-scale quilts as well as traditional designs.
They come upwards amongst buttons included.
They are to last worked inwards wool, but I'll in all probability simply purpose my regular quilter's cottons.
Cute, huh?
Well, amongst everything on sale as well as my futurity regional quilt to consider, I came away amongst a few things. Of course, the ii patterns above. And then, you lot powerfulness recall this cloth below. I receive got the dark as well as white version at home. This scarlet as well as white version was on the sale table, as well as therefore I picked upwards a yard of it.
Also, a yard of this one. It was on sale too. It volition brand a proficient embroidery background fabric.
For my regional print, I picked upwards a yard of this aspen fabric. I tin run across this i inwards i of the Four Fabric Forest quilts I've made before. It would brand a proficient binding cloth too. I receive got inwards heed to purpose it inwards my side past times side "shop hop" quilt. The side past times side i volition last a Polaroid quilt.
So in that location you lot go. I had a proficient fourth dimension snooping to a greater extent than or less this store amongst all their steals of deals. I'd honey to brand a render catch to their novel location, but that volition receive got to hold off for some other trip. I believe they'll last moved inwards every bit of Oct 1st, but honestly, I didn't pay much attending to the informational signs they had posted. If you lot discovery yourself inwards Durango, this is a can't-miss-it quilt shop.
There is notwithstanding i to a greater extent than quilt store to tell you lot close from our travels yesterday. I'll tell you lot close Cortez Quilt Company inwards a dissever post.
