Did you know there is a DAY just for VISITING YOUR LOCAL QUILT SHOP?
Save the date!
Visit Your Local Quilt Shop Day
is January 24
Well, for me, City Quilter is the best. They have a wide range of fabrics that provides me with a wide selection of scrumptious fabrics to choose from! They are in walking distance to my loft, so when I need something quick, I can pop down and find just what I need! Did I mention they also have an AMAZING Gallery for showing the works of the many fantastic quilters from around the world!
Even when I don't NEED fabric, It's a great place to visit with other quilty friends and just FONDLE the goods... Sometimes, it's that easy to please me!
Plus! On December 6th at 6pm at City Quilter, I'm having a trunk show and book signing there!
So call up, reserve your spot for my talk,
or sign up for one of their many, great, quilt classes...
See you at MY LQS!

I wish I had a favorite local quilt shop - I have no quilt fabric stores near me - I have to travel over 80 miles in any direction to get to one and I can't say most of them are worth the time spent traveling to them - I mainly shop when traveling and use the on line shops.
ReplyDeleteI have a favorite LQS......Firefly Quilt Shop in Mankato. We are lucky here in Minnesota as there is an abundance of great local quilt shops!! Going to go check out pics of you with hair. LOL!
