in Wilsonville, Oregon. This shop was in the latest BH&G Shop Sampler Fall 2007.
I got a nice little stack of civil war reproduction fabric for my Dear Jane quilt. A couple of really great cheddars in that stack. I also bought the other half of Patti's double pinks. They will be great for the Dear Jane as well.
The next stop was a shop called A Common Thread in Lake Oswego. It is a bright, big shop which also sells Bernina sewing machines. I bought this big bright floral fabric there. They also had this small block pattern with fabric for free!!
The next stop was just across the border in Washington state - I little shop in a sort of barn/outbuilding behind a house in the middle of somewhere. The shop was crammed to the rafters with bolts of fabric - bolts on shelves, bolts on the floor, bolts on bolts. If you were looking for some fabric you really needed and couldn't find - that would be the place to go.
There, I bought more sock monkey flannel!! This is a little sock monkey book -- I think I must have enough sock monkey flannel now. I also bought a piece of Moda -- Wuthering Heights - that I just love and have been looking for since I used my only little piece to make myself the applique bag. And a Buggy Barn pattern - Hearts and Stars. Not too bad for a day out. Then Patti and I had a nice lunch of soup and salad at Applebee's. I was going to say we don't have Applebee's in Canada but apparently we do - I've just never been to one before.
To be continued ..... Wednesday --- Fabric Depot!
What gorgeous fabrics! I particularly like your pinks. My best friend and I do that splitting the fabric thing a lot. =)
ReplyDeleteLove that stack of fabrics... luscious. Something about the Civil War repros draws in my eye, must be the colors.
ReplyDeleteLove those double pinks. What range(s) are they from Pam? Sounds like a fun day.
ReplyDeleteWonderful selection of fabrics! And a fun day with, Patti.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely fabrics - especially those pinks! (ditto to Jenni's ??) You had fun and got to meet a friend (read all about it first on Patti's blog). Can't wait to read about the rest of your trip.
ReplyDeleteThose cheddars and double pinks are scrumptious. Glad you had a great time in Portland.
ReplyDeleteOH PAM! Those pinks are what I need for my DJ...can you share with me who made them, so I can find them and have to use in my DJ --I'm still looking for oranges and yellows too and they are a challenge to find.
ReplyDeleteYAH for wonderful shopping and having a friend to share the adventure with!
What a fun day! Lots of little goodies! Thanks for sharing!
