Quilts and Fabrics and Chickens, oh my!

Yesterday we visited a little slice of heaven. We pulled in to Country Village in Bothell and Keepsake Cottage was like a giant magnet!

Right away we got a great sewing tip - this is not quite how we do it in Minnesota.

What fun to see the owner, Julie Stewart - it's been over a year since she was in the midwest for our retreat. We explored the shop and found lots of good stuff around every corner.

Tons of fabric,

lots of quilts, including Urban Cabin and Fire Escape,

 

and fat quarters bundled in every color.

After we had our fill of fabric, we wandered around the Country village. We met a few chickens and found some other fun shops - beads, coffee, decorating, scrapbooking and antiques. We found "Lots of everything".

When we got back to the hotel, I opened up my bag and played with my new fabric. Wish I had a sewing machine in my suitcase!

I've been to Keepsake Cottage Fabrics. My sister lives a few miles away. We love all the delicious fabric there and I can always find one of your patterns. There are my favorite.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi! Greetings from Finland! I love the fabrics! They are wonderful! It's so nice to find other quilters from the other countries! :)

Oh! Are you still in Seattle? You should stop by Gathering Fabric in Woodinville. We would love to see you!

How fun that you were at Keepsake! One of my favorite quilt shops--used to teach there, eons ago. Julie is just the best, and their selection of fabric is wonderful! Did you happen to get to Quiltworks NW in Bellevue? Another great shop. Love your patterns and clean crisp designs...they are fast, fun, and rewarding.

Love the quote! Some of our relatives live north of Seattle, and they do love their coffee!

love the fabric! To bad you have to content yourself with just playing with it...that's all I have had time for lately with the new charm packs I have bought.
