We had two stores to hit in Longmont (1 hour away) and 1 in Estes Park - so we thought we would make that a loop. Storms started to roll in, so that was as good a time as any to get shopping....
First was the Presser Foot -
I had never been to this store - but it was wonderful. The ladies were so nice and they had a wide selection of fabrics!! they also had a TON of machine things. Longarm rulers and books too.
I hve been Long Arm quilting for 23 years now ( oh boy!!) so it was fun to look at the new rulers and books that I had not seen. I think you tend to get the stuff you need when you start - and learn to make that work for you. I did find a fun Layer cake to follow me home tho!!
then we went just a tad south to Maggies - I had been in there a LONG LONG time ago - I'm thinking like 12 years ago ? I went with a friend to drop her machine off for repairs - and lookeee at the cute Fat Quarters:
That dog one reminds me of Daisy when she realizes I might have chips in my possessions and maybe she could have one!
From there we headed to Estes Park. Oh my favorite mountain town - and can you believe I had never been in that fabric store? Peak to Peak !!! My new best friends....
If you are into wilderness, wildlife, mountain out of doors - this is the store for you!! I got this panel - and K says it must be in a quilt by winter.... oh the pressure.... the stress...
now if you go to Estes you must stop by the Taffy Store - the original Taffy Store - its the best!
My oldest sons Birthday is this month so we sent him Taffy online from them, and he called as we were heading up and said - you HAVE to try the Cherry. of course, that was a special of the day when I had ordered his - so it wasn't available the day we were there.... they had LIME... OMG - LIME - it is awesome!!!
I want it all....
then we had to head down the mountain to go do chores....
But I have THREE more shops to go!!
That layer cake is adorable, and I love the dog fat quarter! Looks like you had a fun trip. I love taffy!

ReplyDeleteHi Alycia, it's been ages since I did a shop hop - I'll have to remember that. Looks like you had a great time :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along on your shop hop adventures. I'll have to remember to try the taffy the next time we are in CO. Estes Park is one of our favorite places to visit.
