I was at the greatest craft store last weekend – Corning Stitch Works<\/a>. My grandmother had meant to take us to the Crafting Cottage<\/a>, which is apparently also a really great store, but we ended up finding the Stitch Works first. They mostly had yarn and fabric, although they also had some great vintage stuff (fabric and buttons, but a few odds and ends as well). I had gone there meaning to get some sock yarn for Clessidra<\/a>, but as soon as I got a look at the fabrics, I didn’t even go over to the yarn side. I wanted a cut of every bolt in the store. Down here I really only go to JoAnn’s, although I know Fabric Row<\/a> is right there too. Apparently there’s also a great shop in Haddonfield called The Little Shop<\/a> that was recognized in the latest issue of Better Homes & Gardens Quilt Sampler Magazine. I’ll be checking that out soon. To get to the point though, JoAnn’s rarely has a ton of fabric I’m in love with. This store did.<\/p>\n

I had such a hard time deciding what to finally get. My mom, sisters, and grandmother left me to go to another store I was taking so long. It came down to getting flapper, cowboy, and a random floral fabric. The flapper fabric, I don’t know what I’m doing with yet. I got two other fabrics to go with it in a quilt top, but I’m going to need some more. I got enough cowboy fabric for an entire quilt, along with the Tin Star Cowboy<\/a> pattern by Hollyhock Quilts<\/a>. And I got one cute little floral fabric for a little girl’s dress. I don’t know just who will get this stuff, it all depends on when I finish them (which I admit will not be any time soon). My friends keep having babies though so it’s not like I’m running out of gifts to need.<\/p>\n

I’ve always loved quilting but I’m especially into it right now because I just read an article about how to do pretty advanced stuff on a regular sewing machine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
