There were quilt shops! Yes, dear readers, I indulged.
I didn't have any particular fabrics in mind (too soon for the Quiltville mystery colors). I stuck to the sales shelves and got some colorful bargains.
Shipshewana, Indiana: Yoder's Department Store. We only had a few minutes so I went to the quilt shop just inside the entry of the Yoder's "mall." All brights and batiks. I bought four half-yard pieces. Only later did I learn that inside the Yoder's store itself there's an entire fabric department. I will just have to go back.
Williamstown, Massachusetts:
Karen's Quilting Corner Lots of brights and a good selection of reproductions. There was a shop hop going on so it was busy that Saturday.
Lyndonville, Vermont: Sewin Love Fabric Shoppe. No photos. Good clearance selection.
Fairlee, Vermont:
Barnyard Quilting Wow! It was drizzling outside but so bright and sunny inside. (Kaffe! Tula! Batik!)
Keene, New Hampshire:
New England Fabric and Decorating Center Home dec, upholstery, some apparel, and quilt fabric. The anniversary sale was 20% off all full-priced fabric.
He was not tempted by the sewing machines.
Rumney, New Hampshire: North Country Quilters Sew N Vac Who'd expect a huge selection of fabric and machines -- plus vacuum repair! -- in a small town? A good sale section, too.
oooh tempting goods indeed....i think i'm in need of a shop hop...
