I just came back from a trip to Winnipeg, I drove there with my sister in law Sherri and along the way we stopped at 2 quilt stores.
When I go to a quilt store out of town, if nothing else I buy a fat quarter. I like to make scrap quilts out of the all the fat quarters I have collected. First we stopped a a quilt store in Kenora where I pisked up this Fat Quarter,
We then drove on and stopped at a shop in Keewatin, here I found this great pattern, I love to do scrap quilt so I thought this pattern would be perfect for a new project.
Of coarse I picked up a Fat Quarter and here it is,
In Winnipeg we went to this huge Fabric Warehouse ( I'll have to get back to you with the name of the place ).
I picked up this really cute print with animals on it,
I got 1 metre of it, so I will cut a Fat Quarter out of it and the use the rest for some project down the line.
I picked up these 2 fabrics because I sew my own scrub tops for work, it is so much cheaper, once you find the perfect pattern it only takes an hour or so to make a top.
I had a great trip, next time I'm there, we plan to make a trip to Morden and put a dent in their fabric shops.
It's called Marshall/Northwest Fabrics Ltd on Berry Street, what fun we have!! Looking forward to seeing your new scrub tops!!

ReplyDeleteI haven't been to any of those shops I'll have to remember to next time I go west.
ReplyDeleteThat Max and Whiskers fabric is so cute, and I agree its nice to see people who wear scrubs at work who wear different and fun ones too.
p.s. the quilts you showed at guild tonight were beautiful!!!
