There was no programme to watch a quilt store inwards yesterday's wanderings, but amongst the rain, it seemed similar a skillful idea...to me. While I was inwards the quilt shop, Mike scoped out YouTube videos looking for the perfect RV lavatory paper. The 1 we're using is non dissolving equally it should, as well as thus he was on the hunt for something a trivial less sturdy. As it turns out Charmin Ultra Soft is the winner inwards that category. Who knew? And all this focus on lavatory newspaper to tell y'all that when nosotros went looking for it, nosotros constitute the shelves bare inwards every unmarried store. Oy. Honestly. Has everyone had the sh*t scared out of them from Coronavirus? What is the focus on TP, pray tell? (Rhetorical...not looking for an answer.) So anyway...with that trivial diatribe out of the way, delight allow me to tell y'all almost the quilt shop.
It was located inwards 1 of those industrial parks. Fortunately, it was seen from the road, as well as thus nosotros had no occupation locating it 1 time nosotros drove into the parking lot.
Walking through the front end door, it looked similar this. It was a busy identify amongst lots of color.
Looking left, I saw this:
Looking right, I saw this:
Walking left, in that place were some really pretty fabrics. These below all had metallic element gold. They were tempting equally all get-out. It was early on inwards my meanderings, however, as well as thus I moved on.
Oooooh...look at those stripes! They volition move mine. Oh yes. They volition move mine.
To the correct of those was this cute snail quilt. I sort of recall I saw someone making this 1 on a blog.
This is the pattern...no depository fiscal establishment notation of the designer, but I imagine it tin move constitute online. The store has a web presence correct here.
Turning the corner, in that place were some pretty prints. The fabrics inwards this store didn't seem organized inwards a means that could move easily categorized. Possibly they were grouped past times manufacturer? I'm non actually sure.
Turning around I constitute these pretty florals...some Kaffe Fassett there.
In a dorsum room were some juvenile prints.
Hanging higher upwardly those fabrics was this quilt.
But here's an illustration of what I'm talking about. These fabrics were shelved amongst the juvenile prints, as well as I wouldn't assort them that way. Whatever the case, I took these pictures for my friend Kate. Kate, they made me recall of you.
The store was stuffed to the gills amongst fabric, amongst lots of cute displays everywhere I looked.
These were some of the truthful cat prints. I soundless dearest them, but I'm avoiding them these days. I bring a whole big box at home, soundless waiting for their plow to move used inwards a quilt.
Shelved higher upwardly them were these pretties.
Fabric, fabric, everywhere. It was a store crowded amongst fabric.
I sort of liked this one...laundry pedagogy labels.
There was a overnice provide of solids as well as tone-on-tones.
Pretty Christmas fabrics.
Turning around in that place were some Halloween fabrics. Neither of those holidays is on my quest heed correct now.
There was a overnice corner of patterns as well as notions. This store had a big focus on bags too, thus in that place were patterns as well as hardware for bags.
Moving to the room to the correct of the front end door where I came inwards were all the batiks.
Also, some overnice neutrals. I similar these for embroidery backgrounds.
This 1 is for Molly as well as Buddy.
Here was some other pretty display of color.
I made my selections as well as and thus waited longer than I'd hoped to bring it cut. There was exclusively 1 somebody doing the cutting as well as 3 people ahead of me. As I waited, I noticed a classroom/work expanse toward the dorsum of the store.
Also, these yo-yo owls hanging overhead.
And this big box of breed specific patterns for trivial Canis familiaris quilts.
I'll tell something to a greater extent than almost these Canis familiaris patterns inwards only a minute, but I 1 time had an online conversation amongst Patrick Lose almost his pattern, H5N1 Cat for All Seasons, which I'd only finished. It powerfulness bring been my really start truthful cat quilt. Sorry it isn't a ameliorate picture.
This was pre-blogging days, but the quilt was really pop amongst the Quilting Board where I'd posted a picture. I told him he should create something similar this for dogs. He told me that truthful cat patterns sold better, as well as that Canis familiaris owners tended to desire something breed specific. And thus I tin exclusively recall this drive to comprehend thus many dissimilar breeds was the designer's endeavour to fill upwardly a gap inwards pattern availability. Anyway...cute patterns. They bring a web presence, as well as y'all can see all the dogs correct here. Or...if you're similar me as well as cats are your thing, you tin discovery all the cats correct here.
So I chose this 1 equally my regional print. I was exclusively going to buy it if they would cutting a fatty quarter for me, as well as they would.
If they hadn't been willing to cutting a fatty quarter, I was going to purpose this 1 equally my regional print. It reminded me of all the wildflowers we've seen. The cutter was really careful cutting a yard of it for me. She used pair of scissors as well as cutting on each side of the crease individually thus that the trivial squares of flowers were all usable. I tin imagine these flowers fussy cutting to brand cornerstones. I haven't yet sewn together Friendship's Garden, as well as thus this powerfulness become good amongst those quilt blocks.
And, similar I said...it volition move mine...and right away it is. This would brand a neat binding for the Paintbox Pizzazz quilt waiting at dwelling for finishing.
So this was a fun store as well as a neat resources for quilters inwards the area. Located inwards Palm Desert, depository fiscal establishment gibe it out if y'all discovery yourself inwards the area.
