You might need a glass of water for this post.... I have words people.... words!!!
we had three last stores to do on the shop hop. As I've said before - I haven't done a whole lot of quilt store shopping in a while - but two of these I had been to, and one was brand new ( okay two years old )
and you know.... we had to include other things in our trips.... Candy was fun, but this one - we had to get grain, go to the auction to see what farm pieces were being sold the next day (if it was worth K's time to drive and hour to it) and check out the hay that was going to be for sale as well...
After the *work* was done - we got to business!!
The FIG LEAF in Ft Collins was the first stop - another lovely store with a huge selection of things....
I found this:
Me!!! Who Dreams in Red White and Blue finally purchased something patriotic!! don't you love it? K and I had watched Top Gun the night before - so maybe that influenced me??
Next up was THE SEWING CIRCLE - also in Ft Collins but in a new location ( new to me - she said they had been there 8 years - I need to get out MORE !)
This is not good photo - but its a jelly roll of puppy things and prints from Ruby Star!! it was so cute. They had a lady doing demos as well with this waterproof vinyl like stuff and also with vegan leather - we use to call it pleather ....
So on to LOVELAND colorado to Wild Oats! this was the new one - apparently the owner got interested in sewing during the pandemic. He couldn't find masks for the guys in his company so he started sewing them and became... addicted!!
He has a great fun shop - a lot of fabrics that I hadn't seen at other stores ! It was also our last stop on the hop. we got the finishing kit for the shop hop quilt and our photo taken.... kind of felt like royalty!!
Congratulations on finishing the hop! You've gotten some great fabric, too.
ReplyDeleteThat panel is beautiful, amazing. I'm in love with the Christmas Dinosaurs! I'm going to have to look for that. Your shop hop has been enjoyed by me. :)
ReplyDeleteLove all your fabric purchases! How the heck did you get your hubby to go to all those fabric stores??? He’s a keeper!❤️
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun last day of the shop hop! I love the patriotic panel!
ReplyDeleteAwesome purchases at each shop! I've never made it to all of the shops in the state-wide shop hop, and once the Quilt Dakota hop merged ND and SD it will certainly not happen. LOL I think I got to 12 last year. And the only reason I got to the last 3 was because I went along with Dave to Rapid City for a golf tournament. LOL
ReplyDeleteYou found some fun fabrics. The Christmas Dinasaurs is just too cute. Now you can have lots of fun playing with your acquisitions.
ReplyDeleteWow, you found some terrific prints. I love the fact that your youngest is now Mr. Dinosaur, instead of Little Bit. How quickly things change.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a good Hop!!!
ReplyDeleteIt has been fun traveling along with you to the shops. I look forward to seeing your Christmas quilt, and what you do with all your new acquisitions.
