I took my mom home the other day. She was released from the surgeon and felt well enough to go home. On the way, we usually stop at Peet’s in Castro Valley. I suggested we stop in Livermore, which is a little farther. I knew of a Peet’s there and I wanted to stay in the car a bit longer. As we got closer, she suggested we stop at In Between Stitches, a quilt shop in Livermore. I did a brief review of the shop in 2010<\/a>, but haven’t talked about it since.<\/p>\n

In Between Stitches – new location<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In Between Stitches<\/a> was one of the places Mom and I would meet before all of the drama of the past year. They had a lovely shop on Main Street<\/a> in Livermore near a few restaurants, some nice stores and coffee shops. I knew they had moved and was eager to see their new shop.<\/p>\n

The new location is not far from the old, but a little hard to find if you are unfamiliar, as I am, with downtown Livermore. There is parking next to the shop, but we couldn’t find the address so we parked in the big lot behind the Main Street shops and walked over. There is plenty of parking within about a block. It turns out there is a small, one way street above the main street (N. Livermore) on which we drove. I think it has the same name as the larger street. Not sure about that. Anyway, in the photo above, the shop is on the street with the “Do Not Enter’ sign on it. We easily walked across the street from the parking lot and then down that one way street. I am not sure how one would access the shop’s parking lot or drive to the shop. <\/p>\n

Once we finally found it, I found the shop to be interesting and nice. They have morphed beyond quiltmaking to include yarn, lots of wool felt and, possibly felting supplies.<\/p>\n
