There may last to a greater extent than than i quilt store inwards Lake Havasu City. It was difficult to tell from Google, but i was all I wanted. We visited the Copper Canyon Quilting together with E2E Outriggers yesterday. Yes, y'all read that right. It's a quilt store that sells outrigger canoes. The possessor said she'd rather produce that than sell vacuum cleaners. Enough said.
The store was most a mile northward of London Bridge, off to itself on a side street.
The door on the correct led into a classroom.
Walking through the forepart door, it looks similar this.
This store was everything I beloved most a quilt shop...lots of color. To the correct of the forepart door was this prissy lilliputian seating area.
And await at this pretty clothing form.
On the reverse side were to a greater extent than shelves amongst some pretty stripes together with polka dots, together with a prissy selection of solids.
I powerfulness accept gone dorsum for something there, but I was dazzled yesteryear these dark together with gilt metallics. Which i produce y'all intend I'm going to select?
These racks were four-sided together with stuffed amongst fatty quarters. I beloved a expert provide of fatty quarters. Some shops volition cutting them...others won't.
They also seemed to specialize inwards panels, together with they had a lot of kits made upward for all dissimilar kinds of quilts.
I had an persuasion that "Hive Rules" panel powerfulness accept been a usage of the trouble I used when I made the Bee Loving quilt a brace of years ago. Below is a moving-picture exhibit of my quilt. Doesn't the bee stuff await the same every bit inwards the pinwheels above?
The ones below were 108-inch broad fabrics. It's odd to encounter them inwards thus many color choices.
Here's some other panel. This i was thus pretty. I don't unremarkably purchase panels. This i was tempting, but they were sold out of it. She told me they had to a greater extent than on order. This store doesn't accept a spider web presence, but if y'all encounter something y'all like, y'all tin e'er telephone band together with monastic tell it yesteryear phone.
When I turned roughly from that position, I saw the outriggers. It was together with thus I went dorsum out to the truck to larn Mike. I knew he'd desire to encounter these. He together with the possessor chatted spell I shopped. She's a fellow member of a club, together with they produce their canoeing on Lake Havasu. She likes it because these canoes weigh only 17 lbs. every bit they're ready to become inwards the water, together with thus she tin handgrip together with bear it herself. Apparently kayaks weigh substantially more.
She also had this "living room" laid upward for "men only."
These lilliputian Amish figurines were cute, but at $25, they weren't appealing enough. Still, I produce accept a soft spot for all things Amish.
There was a prissy provide of notions.
And at that spot were several copies of this Quilter's Cookbook...
position together yesteryear the Havasu Stitcher's Quilt Guild every bit a fundraiser. At $20, I wasn't convinced I needed this, but it was a really prissy majority inwards a band binder amongst tabbed dividers. Nicely done.
I knew you'd desire to encounter these vintage sewing machines. Sorry I couldn't larn ameliorate pictures. They were high overhead, together with thus you're seeing what I saw.
So what did I come upward out with? Well...I loved this lilliputian panel. This is most 8 x 8 inches. I powerfulness usage this every bit my regional impress if it fits inwards my quilt.
Probably I accept collected plenty regional fabrics for my side yesteryear side Shop Hop quilt. I'm going to brand the side yesteryear side i from these polaroid photographic tv camera blocks. Print stuff for the photograph is 7-1/2 x 7-1/2 inches. I haven't measured yet, but it powerfulness non work. If not, together with thus I'll usage the stuff below. It reminded me of the pictures of sunrises together with sunsets we've seen on this trip. I figure it tin last used inwards other ways too, together with thus I bought a yard of it. As for the i above, I'll figure out something if it won't function inwards the Shop Hop quilt.
As for that dark together with metallic element gold, I got 2 yards of the i below. It was difficult to pick only one, but I figure y'all tin never become incorrect amongst polka dots.
So that was a peachy lilliputian store together with fun for husbands too. Do destination inwards if y'all accept a chance, together with don't forget to view London Bridge spell you're inwards Lake Havasu City.
