I was initially disappointed because of the small size of the shop, but quickly found that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.catsquiltingcorner.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cat&#8217;s Quilting Corner<\/a> is a great shop.<\/p>\n<p>The front entrance is a little hard to see, but it is right on the street. There is no sign sticking out from the building, so you have to look for the other businesses, park and trust that it is there.<\/p>\n<p>The front of the shop is a little worn looking, but the inside is bright and fresh with, what looks like, a new floor.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-47466 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/20191012_112221_wm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_112221_wm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Main fabric aisle -solids on the left\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-47453\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-47453'>\n\t\t\t\tMain fabric aisle -solids on the left\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/20191012_112123_wm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_112123_wm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Tone-on-tones on the right\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-47452\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-47452'>\n\t\t\t\tTone-on-tones on the right\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>There were a small selection of fabrics, which was my concern. The fabrics, however, were primarily modern and well curated. They had 6 shelves of solids and another two-four of tone-on-tones.<\/p>\n<p>Across from and next to the shelves of solids were prints. They had about 12 shelves of prints. Most of the prints were current. It didn&#8217;t look like they were trying to fob old fabric off.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47454\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47454\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_112214_wm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-47454\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_112214_wm-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Cat's Quilting Studio notions an patterns\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_112214_wm-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_112214_wm-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_112214_wm-1200x1600.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47454\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cat&#8217;s Quilting Studio notions an patterns<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The shop also had a nice, if small, selection of patterns and notions. I saw some new-ish patterns from <a href=\"https:\/\/elizabethhartman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elizabeth Hartman<\/a> (formerly the Oh Fransson blog) and others as well. I didn&#8217;t see any bag patterns, but I did hear the owner\/manager say she could order anything. There were the usual types of notions and tools: rulers, mats, pins, rotary cutters, etc.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47455\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47455\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_113646_wm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-47455\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_113646_wm-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Cat's Quilting Studio classroom\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_113646_wm-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_113646_wm-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_113646_wm-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20191012_113646_wm-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47455\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cat&#8217;s Quilting Studio classroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When we arrived, the owner (or manager) was giving a lesson to a lady who had been frustrated by a class at Joann.
