When nosotros arrived at our KOA site yesterday, I start out asked my friend The Google to uncovering a quilt store nigh me. As I've said many times, The Google is my best friend when it comes to finding quilt shops. It was my start out quilt store view of the trip, too existence hither inwards the tippy triangle of Nevada, nosotros crossed the set down business into Arizona to uncovering it. The shopkeeper, Roxy, i would assume, was equally friendly equally could be, too I enjoyed my fourth dimension here. It was merely nigh three miles from where nosotros were staying.
The store is located inwards an "L"-shaped strip mall. Roxy informed me she likes the corner slot inwards the mall because at that topographic point are fewer windows, too it keeps the Sun off her stuff bolts. Approaching the front end door, I start out looked left, too thus right, equally directed yesteryear the arrow.
The front end door is rather unimposing...
but mensuration inside, too all that colouring is quite a surprise. The store is quite a chip larger than it appears upon approach.
It's a modest infinite square-footage-wise, but it was crammed amongst bolt afterward bolt of fabric...lots of odd ones I hadn't seen before.
She had or thus cute displays nigh her juvenile prints.
There was a whole wall devoted to patterns emmet notions. And this store variety of specialized inwards panels of all kinds. There were panels roofing the walls everywhere I looked.
The dark too white prints e'er grab my eye.
I liked the panel at the bottom of the adjacent image.
She likewise had quite a few of these digital fabrics. They're thus pretty. I've purchased a few, but haven't withal constitute a practiced purpose for them.
There was a practiced render of solids.
And beautiful batiks.
I idea or thus of you lot powerfulness savor this vintage Singer sewing machine. This is a niggling older than my start out Singer.
These adjacent fabrics were all flannel, wool, too imitation fur.
There was a dorsum room where a long arm motorcar was located. The fabrics at that topographic point were on sale for one-half cost amongst a minimum one-yard cut. I didn't uncovering anything I couldn't walk away from.
There were Christmas too Halloween fabrics inwards the same room.
These adjacent fabrics were ombres too at that topographic point were likewise or thus fabrics I tin exclusively depict equally "dark" fairy frost.
This panel higher upwards the cutting tabular array caught my eye. It seemed similar I should endure able to purpose this equally or thus sort of go retentivity quilt, but nada has jumped to mind.
Across the room from their darker cousins were the to a greater extent than traditional fairy frosts inwards pastels.
The i criticism I accept of the store was that at that topographic point were no fatty quarters cut. I requested i of the regional impress I selected, but she told me she didn't cutting fatty quarters from the bolt. She said she had problem selling the leftover fatty quarter. She had or thus fatty quarters, but she purchased them inwards boxes from the manufacturer. Here's an event of what was available.
Toward the dorsum of the store was a classroom, too at that topographic point was a adult woman learning to stitch there.
Warning: Technical quilting damage ahead.
When I checked out, I was given this niggling gift of a needle minder. This appears to endure motorcar embroidered.
Inside, at that topographic point was fifty-fifty a needle. Cool!
For my purchases, I selected 2 yards of this one. I merely liked it. The hands are nigh the size of a quarter.
Being inwards the set down of casinos, I chose this i for my regional print. Since I couldn't accept a fatty quarter, I asked for a one-half yard. It's a rather large scale print, too I wanted to endure able to select whatever department that appealed to me.
So at that topographic point you lot go...one quilt store visited, too I promise many to a greater extent than to become earlier nosotros caput for home.
