Fabric Acquistions

When you travel you know that is is impossible not to stop at Quilt Shops right? We went to Grand Junction to compete in the State Championships for marching band. The first day it rained, it poured, and they delayed the competiton for 2 hours. This was a benefit to me, as I found a gluten free pancake house. The other 2 boys and I had breakfast there, and my cousin met me. As we were walking out I saw the LIGHT... oh wait - I mean the Sign - for The Quilters Corner.

But alas, I had to get to the competition - so I patiently waited until 4pm - the darted over there. It was instant love......

I found MAXINE.... I Love Maxine - I totally *get* Maxine, and now I have Maxine fabrics!! The web site is

In between our two trips - I had to take two of my kids to Windsor for a test. While they took there test - I noticed that the fabric shop was only 50 ft from where I had parked. The buildings were caddy corner to each other - it was fate.... it had to be.....

So I headed into the store.... and I found beauties that no eye could behold.....
 The website for the Quilters Stash is

I also found this quilt pattern. I have used the BQ before and found it very easy to make - so I may try this one soon, or later, or I may just stare at it for a while and dream.
For those of you who were worried that I was working too hard going from one end of this state to the other end of another state..... no worries. There were shops inbetween!!

I've always heard it's very important to stop and stretch your legs when going on long drives. The fact that I choose to stop and stretch mine at quilt shops along the way makes perfect sense to me. LOL! I just got back from a three-day trip to Michigan (I'm from the Chicago area) and fit in 7 quilt shops.

My sister and I always plan our trips around quilt shops. Her copy of the Quilt Shop Companion is dog-eared and marked with our own rating system.
