Cheesy, but my New Year Intention will be to revisit the yarn shop without the pressure of "this project needs this specific yarn!" hanging over my head. I was greeted immediately upon entry by two lovely folks. Sometimes in a craft shop - like a great bar - it's hard to know the employees from the comfortable regulars. The warm welcome was appreciated nonetheless. This is a quilt shop, which all of you sew-n-sews can enjoy. You have my respect, as I cannot even manage to replace a button without the fabric getting all bunchy. You crafty devils will appreciate the stock of fabrics and notions. It even got me thinking about lessons and classes. The yarn area is small but BOY! It's pretty and has a lot of my favorite brands. Sadly I had a specific project in mind and could not get my brain to make the math happen for substitutions. I will come back, buy yarn 'just because' and maybe even buy some buttons (justification to cast on for a sweater, amiright?).

There are some packaged quilt projects if you like that. Bolts of fabric with are coordinated with each other. Lots of batiks to choose from. All kinds of accessories like plastic quilt piece templates. They do hold classes in the "kitchen" area of the shop. The owner is very friendly and because she was holding "Christmas in July" my package was packed with two fat quarters of Christmas fabric and some Russell Stover Chocolates. She only takes cash or checks.

I thought I would drive down the road a bit to check out this fabric store, sure that I might find some other fabric that I could have fun with. To be honest, I didn't think I would find much, as Jeri's Quilt Patch is the only fabric store for miles. I was pleasantly surprised when this house-turned-business space had walls and walls of fabric, quilting kits, accessories, tools, and examples. My cousin, a quilter, would have been in heaven. There were so many versatile examples which I appreciated, although I sew different projects. I also appreciated the fabric was often organized by "collections" and complimentary colors. The owner, I'm assuming Jeri, was very kind, helpful and efficient in her checkout process, even though it wasn't anything fancy. Not surprisingly, I walked out of there with more than I planned to and I enjoyed browsing everything. She also has a fun collection of decor and antiques upstairs. I was happy to support this small business and would recommend it for any crafter passing through this area - the locals clearly already know that it's a gem!

The store certainly had a wonderful selection of Michigan Technological University quilt fabric, and so much more. I took my time and looked forward to an hour of relaxing and picking out fabric. The joy of being in that store came to a screeching halt. The employees began a negative conversation about women, then progressed to speaking about women of color. Needless to say, if you care about where you spend your money, take a pass on this store.
