Good grief. I've had the hardest fourth dimension this forenoon staying connected to the internet. Internet access tin hold out frustrating when we're traveling. But hither I am to state you lot nigh the quilt shop. Let's promise my connecter volition run into me through to the end.
I wasn't expecting to view this shop, preferring to relieve my quilty dollars for the store inwards Sedona, but nosotros had time, in addition to and then what the heck? This store was non far from where nosotros were at the national monument, in addition to and then nosotros went. It's off to itself at the far goal of Cottonwood, Arizona.
Here's how it looks from the front.
This is what the sign said side past times side to the door. Oh yes. Thank you. I've arrived where my people live. Possibly this volition teach an Olympic sport inwards the future. I'm certain at that topographic point are many of us who could brand the team.
Walking through the forepart door, it looks similar this:
Toward the dorsum of the store was a classroom alongside a longarm machine. To my right, these reproduction prints.
To my left, these pretty quilts hanging on the wall. By the way, this store has an online presence, in addition to and then you lot tin go out shopping if you lot run into something you lot like.
Starting on the left side of the store, they had a prissy alternative of dark in addition to white fabrics...I ever dear looking at them.
Turning around, a alternative of patterns for making critters.
Walking on...this looked similar fun. There was nigh a 1/3 loving cup touchstone loving cup inwards there.
From there, the stuff stretched the entirety of the wall in addition to to the dorsum of the store. There were also shelves to the correct of this image.
I dear the colors inwards these native American prints. Since I simply bought a bunch spell nosotros were inwards Colorado, I passed them by.
They had lots of regional prints. I ever dear having a prissy alternative of prints illustration of the area...and enough of fatty quarters too.
Turning around, this ane caught my eye. This is ane of those digital prints. I dear the looks of them, but equally many of you lot convey noted, it's difficult to respect a means to go them.
There were approximately pretty florals.
Beautiful batiks.
Lots of cute quilt patterns.
This store also caters to garment sewers.
There were to a greater extent than buttons on cards in addition to a prissy alternative of Creative Grids rulers...my favorites.
I loved this pattern, but I didn't purchase it.
There was a whole rack of patterns for local geological formations. These could hold out done inwards applique, but at that topographic point were also approximately embroidery patterns here.
Kokopelli...my favorite.
Toward the dorsum of the store were flannels.
To my left was a alternative of felted wool.
Moving to the contrary side of the store in addition to inwards the dorsum was a prissy alternative of sale fabrics. Nothing hither actually appealed to me.
Here's a slap-up means to respect simply the correct small-scale hunk of something...or to rid yourself of scraps.
Back toward the forepart of the store, these vintage quilts were hanging on a rack.
I flora myself wishing at that topographic point was an explanation for this one. The embroidery is done past times hand. The names were done inwards chain stitch. It's interesting to me how women of this era ever referred to themselves equally Mrs. Husband's Name. My grandmother's thimble is engraved alongside "Mrs. E. J. Maust," my grandfather's initials.
I liked this quilt hanging on the wall. About 3/4 of the means downwards the correct side appears a stuff I used when I made my really origin quilt...the dark alongside colorful circular dots.
Here's a cute footling sewing chair. This store was also a Bernina dealer in addition to service center. They had several sewing chairs.
As I paid for my fabric, I noticed these cute cactus pivot cushions side past times side to the register.
If you lot similar those, this is a similar pattern. It's widely available on the internet. Just Google it.
Also, a yard of this one. It volition brand a proficient ane for finishing off my "inchy" embroidery.
So this was a slap-up footling shop. I was glad nosotros went. Friendly folks, in addition to a busy shop. The quilting community hither inwards the valley is lucky to convey several quilt shops nearby supported past times a relatively small-scale population. We'll hold out visiting approximately other store inwards Sedona today. Of course of written report I'll state you lot all nigh it tomorrow or the side past times side day.
