First stop was Hayloft Fabrics in Morgantown. This was the only shop I snuck a couple of pictures inside. It's located on the second floor of a grocery store! I was floored when I saw that. Multi-tasking at its best! Run out for some milk and some fat quarters! LOL! Lots of yardage and a great variety. I will go back here for sure. I held back on my spending since I knew I had 3 more shops to visit during our vacation but I wish I hadn't now.
Burkholders Fabrics in Denver is another "need to go again" shop. This one is in the middle of nowhere but WOW! What a selection of fabric! Wish I spent more here too. LOL! And so nicely organized. Great variety as well.
The Old Country Store in Intercourse was okay. I had a short list of yardage that I wanted but found out it was available online only. I think their selection online was better than what was in the store.
Lastly, The Quilt and Fabric Shack... meh. I'll skip it. Not worth going to again. I didn't like how the yardage was organized and there wasn't much to pick from.
Okay, this is the loot I brought home with me. I bought some Happy, Bliss and 12 Days of Christmas charm packs. Happy will be made into a quilt for Amelia and Bliss for me!
The cow and pig yardage is going to be made into pillowcases for Amelia as a vacation memento.
I picked up some red and black fabrics for an upcoming project. The polka dot and paw yardage is for a messenger bag that I was asked to make.
I found some very cute scissor fobs and an ADORABLE pin cushion. I love that pin cushion and had a hard time deciding which one to bring home with me. I wanted them all.
So that's my trip. I'll share more pictures soon!
Enjoy your day!

Looks like a great trip! Love the fobs and the pincushion! And that Happy fabric is just so...well...happy! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful haul home, eh! I chuckled at your go out for milk and fat quarter thought. Knowing me that would be my excuse, low fat milk and one fat quarter please......
ReplyDeleteEven just the shopping part looked like lots of fun Jen. Hope the adjustment back to the real world is not too tough.
ReplyDeleteFUN! Sounds like it was worth the drive to most of those fabric shops! Love the loot you brought home and can't wait to see your projects.
ReplyDeleteI love that pincushion too! Looks like you got to have some quilty fun along the way! Welcome back home:) (to blogland)hehe
ReplyDeleteLooks like you did some damage while shopping. Fun quilts in your future. Our Amish country has a store like your first one that I love -- fabric, hardware, grocery and clothing. All under one roof and the prices are wunderbar!
ReplyDeleteI live outside of Philly, so these stores are so close --- yet, I still haven't made the trek out! I need to go on a fabric diet before I do some serious damage exploring these fun shops :) Thanks for the school - I will definitely have to check out the hayloft.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
