This is a fantastic shop. I wanted everything and bought more than I had planned. I am so glad I went and wish this shop was in my neighborhood. I am probably lucky it isn’t.<\/p>\n

Stitch: view from the street<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was directed to Stitch by the kind lady at Bunny Hop Quilt Shop, another shop I missed last year. Stitch opened in January 2016 and I didn’t visit last year. DH reminded me that we spent the day wandering around Fortuna trying to get a library card. I don’t remember anything about quilt shops last year and I can’t find anything on the blog so perhaps I didn’t visit quilt shops last year? I must not have been feeling well. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The outside of the building isn’t anything to write home about. It needs a good coat of paint and some glossy white trim. The inside of the quilt shop is a paradise. It is small, but has a great feel, wonderful fabric, lovely displays and a general air of things happening. The fabrics were all modern and current. I never liked light blue, but after seeing it on the walls of this shop, I might change my mind. The shop had the feel I want for my bedroom.<\/p>\n

While I was there two ladies were in the small classroom making modern Dresden Plate type blocks<\/a> that made me want to sit down and make one as well. The owner was calling out encouragement to them while she helped me.<\/p>\n

The shop is compromised of one large room (photos left and above) along with a small room behind the cutting counter that had a design wall with interesting blocks on it. As mentioned, there was also a small classroom. In the classroom was a wall of sale fabrics.<\/p>\n

Stitch: Apron idea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The displays were also wonderful. Why didn’t I ever think of using a border print for an apron? Genius.<\/p>\n

The whole front corner made me think of Friend Julie<\/a> as it was grey and yellow themed. In addition to the tea toweling, of course. The apron pattern is the Church Ladies apron<\/a> that I made, but shorter. And better looking. The fabric is great.<\/p>\n

Also in that corner was a display that included a tote bag and a Sew Together Bag. The kits are for the quilt on the wall in the photo above.<\/p>\n

I saw the crab fabric on the Hawthorne Threads site and almost bought it. I think it is interesting, but, after seeing it, am glad I didn’t.<\/p>\n

Stitch: Poolside Tote<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, they had an example of the Noodlehead Poolside Tote (sorry, slightly blurry). I LOVE the grey dot straps and the bold print. I bought some of that grey and am thinking of making something similar with one of my man Phil’s (Philip Jacobs) flower prints. I think a larger bag might be better, but we will see. I need another tote (and project, for that matter) like I need another hole in my head. Still, the idea of using that grey with a bold print is very appealing. I really, REALLY need some serious sewing time.<\/p>\n

The cherry on top of the ice cream sundae was the Sue Spargo AND Auriful embroidery threads. They didn’t have as much Sue Spargo as Thistle Dew<\/a>, but they had enough to keep me happy.<\/p>\n

I really wish this shop well. I also wish it were in San Francisco. It is an incentive for me to go to this Native Sons event again.<\/p>\n
