Bolt in Portland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Bolt<\/a> is a shop I have visited before. It is not in the same location. Since the last time I visited<\/a>, a few years ago, they have moved twice. The last shop, on the same street, was tiny. This shop is much larger and has a lot more fabric. It is not specifically for quiltmaking, but they have quite a bit of quiltmaking fabric. I think they have more garment and bagmaking fabric and supplies.<\/p>\n

I was pleased to see that the shop seems to be doing well.<\/p>\n

The entrance to the shop was open and welcoming, but also sucked me right into the love that is fabric. This image gives you an idea of the size of the shop.<\/p>\n

I immediately saw some canvas that I loved. I really tried hard not to buy it. I have a lot of bagmaking fabric already. See below whether I succeeded or not.<\/p>\n

Bolt Notions & Stitching<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was amazed at the amount and variety of notions they had. I only took a photo of one side of the display. There were also a number of other types of stitching notions to my right. The number of Sashiko thread colors they had was amazing.<\/p>\n

In the shelf on the bottom (right) is a lot of interfacing.<\/p>\n
