Round 1 of the Nebraska quilt shop hop is completed! We drove 260 miles and visited five shops,
pictured in order:
Common Threads – Syracuse (love the tangerine and teal paint job and the batik quilt in the window)
Seams to Be – Plattsmouth (HUGE selection)
Needles I – Auburn (like walking into a quilt show---so
many sample projects on display!)
Heavenly Treasures – Pawnee City-Hometown of Larry the
Cable Guy (yup, it really was a church)
Quilt Stitches – Beatrice (new shop with a modern vibe
and LOTS of hand embroidery options and supplies—probably my favorite shop so
far)
Gorgeous weather.
Bright blue skies. Beautiful
purple wildflowers were in full bloom.
And, of course, there was the fabric.
I think I showed REMARKABLE RESTRAINT.
I stayed under budget. I was sorely tempted but resisted the hand
embroidery supplies that were enticing me.
The final photo shows some of my purchases (the others
were for custom orders, so they don’t really “count”). My favorite find of the day was at Quilt
Stitches, where I discovered the fall leaf print with a coordinating small
scale geometric print. The fabric is
from the new Leafhaven collection designed by Michele D’Amore for
Benartex. The music fabric is also fun—it
will be a gift for a music teacher. And
the fat quarters – what can I say? One
can never have too many polka dots or black and white fabrics.
Round 2 is scheduled for Tuesday, April 24 - -only two
more shops- -- The Cosmic Cow and The Udder Store. Did we save the best for last? Maybe so.
Stay tuned….
