My thank you lot become to my friend, Crew at Cabin Central, who gave me the heads upward almost the Primitive Gatherings Quilt store almost a one-half an sixty minutes away. We stopped on our way to the Oceanside Pier yesterday, in addition to what a lot of fun! You tin detect its web presence correct here. It's an slow store to find, located inwards an industrial park, slow on in addition to off the superhighway amongst plenty of room to commons Mike's squealer of a truck...always appreciated. Approaching the storefront, it looks similar this:
Step within the front end door, in addition to this is what you lot see:
To my correct was the cash register amongst roughly real cute displays, including the doll quilts you lot meet hanging at that spot on the counter.
On the countertop were these lilliputian baskets, filled amongst roughly cute lilliputian knick knacks. "Cute" mightiness endure the discussion of the twenty-four hours for this shop.
This was almost to cute to transcend up, but I did...like I demand something else similar this.
My friend "Unknown" of late asked me if I'd been to Temecula Quilt Co., in addition to I'm sorry, Unknown, but you lot are no-reply, which is why I never response your questions. In this case, I wanted to say, "Why, yes! Yes, I have!" in addition to this store reminded me thus much of that one. You tin detect a link from my watch to Temecula Quilt Co., correct here. Check it out in addition to meet if you lot don't agree. Both shops specialize inwards reproduction fabrics, wools, flannels, in addition to tiny prints for making quilts from teeny, tiny quilt blocks.
Check this out...half-inch one-half foursquare triangles. Some people are masochists, if you lot enquire me.
There were similar quilts...and large ones...hanging all around. The blocks inwards this side past times side 1 were almost one-inch squares, if retention serves. I liked what they'd done amongst the stars.
And in addition to thus at that spot were merely lots of fabrics similar these...mostly tiny prints, since that's what 1 needs for these kinds of quilts.
There was a prissy array of colors.
Toward the dorsum of the store was a classroom.
Hanging overhead inwards the classroom was this quilt. I actually liked this quilt...it won an honorable rear at a Road to California show.
This block inwards the lower correct specially caught my eye...see if you lot tin gauge why. It's either the truthful cat or the scarlet bird.
If the blueprint for this had been within reach, it would cause got gone into my shopping cart for sure. In this case, shopping cart = my hot lilliputian hands. Turning straight around, these were the solely novelty prints I saw inwards the whole store. I was on the hunt for something amongst a colorful stripe, in addition to none of these were going to jibe the bill. No worries, I constitute something...you'll meet inwards a minute.
I wishing I'd had roughly of this when I finished off my Bunny Garden embroidery.
And at that spot was shelf afterward shelf of these kinds of tiny prints inwards all colors.
There was a prissy render of neutrals in addition to "word" prints.
Up past times the front end window were roughly brighter colors.
And a pocket-size alternative of yummy polka dots.
I vicious inwards dearest amongst this pattern. It was available blueprint only, in addition to also inwards a kit. After walking past times it iii times, I could resist no more, in addition to I picked upward the pattern. The quilt shown hither is done inwards wool, but I'll become far using scraps from my stash. It says, "A happy dwelling is the primal to a happy life." I would add together to that..."and cats."
There were lots of wool projects available. I've never done a projection amongst wool, although I cause got a small wool Spotty Cat kit I've dragged all over the dry reason amongst me. I cause got yet to brand it, although I've had it for years. (Hopefully, the moths haven't had their way amongst it.) I bought it when I attended a quilt demonstrate dorsum inwards Oregon. We'd solely merely brought Smitty dwelling to alive amongst us, in addition to it made me think of him. So, all of that to tell that a lot of these wool patterns appealed to me, but I figured I should effort the 1 I already cause got to meet if I similar working amongst wool earlier getting something else. Either way, these all caught my eye. It was difficult to walk away, but I was beingness sensible for a change. (Some mightiness say, "centsible." Did you lot meet what I did there?) So cause got a expect at this one:
Those circles were almost the size of the erstwhile way of minting silverish dollars, if you're erstwhile plenty to retrieve them. (And if you're non erstwhile plenty to retrieve the erstwhile mode silverish dollars, in addition to thus delight shut-up.)
Speaking of old, I knew you lot vintage sewing machine people would desire to meet these beauties.
This store actually had the cutest displays. Seeing the buttons inwards a quart-sized bricklayer offend made me desire to switch mine into a vintage offend dorsum home. Right straight off they're stored inwards a McCann's Irish Gaelic Oatmeal tin where I can't meet them. Often, I'm seeing these vintage bricklayer jars at Goodwill, thus I mightiness become on a hunt for one. In fact, there's a Goodwill correct across the street from me here...hmmmmmm.
Here's roughly other star quilt I actually liked. The blocks were almost the size of a Moda charm pack, but I liked the star inwards the center.
Here's the pattern. It was tempting, but I tin likely figure this out on my own.
Of course of report at that spot was a prissy render of notions.
Here's a lilliputian "penny mat" projection that was difficult to transcend by. (See Spotty Cat kit above.)
This is the blueprint for that. Most everything inwards this store could also endure purchased equally a kit, in addition to you lot tin store online if you lot meet something you lot like.
There were lots of lilliputian framed "words of wisdom" projects sitting around. The whole store variety of gave you lot that warm fuzzy feeling.
And expect at these sheep...be however my beating heart!
This quilt was large...at to the lowest degree full-sized, in addition to maybe larger...made from impossibly pocket-size pieces.
Since I couldn't detect a prissy rainbow stripe to destination off my Tiny Tuesday project, I settled on this one, in addition to I think it's going to endure real cute. I'd similar to cutting a narrow halt border from this fabric.
It also has roughly sweetness sayings at the selvage edge, in addition to I tin likely think of a way to contain these into the quilt too.
I haven't idea this through completely, but give me a few days, in addition to I'll cause got it figured out. I purchased plenty cloth for the border in addition to the binding, in addition to at that spot should also endure plenty for the quilt back.
For my regional print, I actually could cause got selected anything, but this 1 seemed to capture the experience of the store for me. I believe it was available inwards other colors equally well. This 1 was an already-cut fatty quarter.
So I actually enjoyed my fourth dimension at this shop, in addition to bonus! It's closed plenty to Temecula Quilt Co., that it would endure slow to watch both shops inwards the same day. Check it out if you lot detect yourself inwards this purpose of Southern California.
