This shop is not too far from Ashland, so it was the last shop on our way home.<\/p>\n<p>The weather was awful. It was over 100 degrees when we stopped. I tried to find some shade for the car, but just ended up making us walk across the hot parking lot in the blazing sun.<\/p>\n<p>You know what the non-quilting interesting thing was near Cottage Quilting? A grocery store sized Harry &amp; David&#8217;s store!

What a huge shop! They took up two storefronts in a modern, one story mall. We were also fortunate to arrive when we did as they were closing the shop for a week starting the next day.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing that happened was that the owner scared the living daylights out of me. He just popped up and welcomed us, which was nice, but unexpected. It was completely my fault, because I wasn&#8217;t expecting it. I have to say I was hot and tired from driving, so I wasn&#8217;t at my best.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53093\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53093\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210601_154618_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-53093\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210601_154618_wm-sm-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Cottage Quilting - June 2021\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210601_154618_wm-sm-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210601_154618_wm-sm-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210601_154618_wm-sm.jpg 832w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cottage Quilting &#8211; June 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The shop has TONS of various types of machines. After thinking about it, I think most of the shop is machines, though they have a fair amount of fabric, including the best selection of toweling (tea towel fabric) I have seen. They have a number of different colors. I bought some white for my SIL so she can embroider on it. I seem to do that whenever I go somewhere and find tea towel fabric.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_53092\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53092\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210601_154401_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-53092\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210601_154401_wm-sm-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Cottage Quilting notions - June 2021\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210601_154401_wm-sm-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210601_154401_wm-sm-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210601_154401_wm-sm.jpg 832w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-53092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cottage Quilting notions &#8211; June 2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I also liked the selection of notions, thread and rulers.
