So I've been trying to make this t-shirt quilt out of my old high school and college shirts for…read moresome time now. My friend had initially helped me start it by cutting up my shirts and making squares... then life got in the way and my project got delegated to the bottom of my closet. After a couple of tries with other places in the area, I got on the radar of Deborah Young. She does marketing and sales for Quilt Patch Fabrics. She had helped my mom make a couple of t-shirt quilts out of my dad's old shirts after he passed away so I wanted to see if she could help me out. Only doing a couple of quilts at a time, she had a long wait list, but after a couple of months, she got back to me. I met with her at the Quilt Patch Fabrics and she was super professional and helpful. I always forget how many options you have when quilting so it can be a bit overwhelming, but I explained my original plan and vision and she helped me make some decisions. I had arrived a little early for our meeting, so I got to look around the shop... you can buy fabric, accessories, books, measuring implements, and also take classes here. Everyone was super friendly and I even got to watch this gentlemen use the quilting machine (its super big) and it's the finishing swirls and patterns you see on the finished product. I think the machine is manually operated so I was really impressed by this guys steady hands. After about an hour of meeting with Deborah.... (She's really thorough and I felt like I was in good hands... while we hammered out all the details). I was all set. Deborah also brought examples of her work. Pretty exciting to see how this quilt comes out. At least the squares and memories aren't sitting in a garbage bag in the back of my closet anymore.

They have a huge selection of solids and grunge and a decent selection of the latest prints from popular fabric designers. There is a nice variety of samples on display in the store to showcase the patterns and fabrics. The only small criticism that I have is that the samples are not labeled with the name of the pattern and the fabric line. If they did that, shopping would be a bit easier.

I noticed this shop next to Modern Fabrics and stopped in before they closed. As they noted on…read moretheir bio, they specialize in vintage furniture and home decor items from various eras and styles. Condition for the furniture is noted on the tags so you're aware of any wear and tear before you purchase. I saw a variety of pieces that were early, mid, and late 20th century. (Ex. Bar stools from the 50s, airline bags from PanAm, etc.) They arrange the furniture in a neat styling so you can have some inspiration for what the pieces could look like in your home. The gal working there the day I went was very friendly and said she would be happy to help if we had questions. We did browse on our own without assistance as we wanted to see what was there before the shop closed. Pricing was pretty fair - I saw a range with some pieces being a little on the lower end (like a trio of stools for $1000) and higher for other pieces. At the end of the day, it's a place to find a unique furniture item without buying something cheaply made that has character. There is a small lot for this shop in front. I had no issues finding a spot there when I went.
