I am just getting to blogging the fabrics I bought on vacation. The little houses on the left is a half yard I bought in Outlook, Saskatchewan on our way back from Winnipeg. It is called Broderick Gardens and Quilt Shop and you can find them here. A well stocked shop with friendly and helpful staff. They also carry a variety of crafting supplies - embroidery, beads, etc. I had seen these place before when we stopped at the COOP gas station but had never gone in. It is always overwhelming to see so many beautiful fabric and I was on a timeline so I asked her if she had any fabric that said Saskatchewan - she showed me some with wheat fields - a bit too busy. So I asked about fabric with houses. This one was the second on she showed me and it was the one!!
The other four I bought in PEI. We visited several in a few towns along the way. The numbers ones I bought in Montague - Quilting B and More. They have two rooms of fabrics along with a wide variety of household goods. The prices were good so I bought a yard of numbers fabric along with a yard of white cotton which we dyed with PEI dirt. I made potholders as souvenirs of our trip and my sister managed to find PEI themed fabrics there in fat quarters which worked really well for her souvenirs.
We visited Sew Blessed Quilters in Kensington, PEI. You can find them here. A full service quilt shop with a very large selection of fabrics. I bought the brown batik (1yd) and the fern fabric (1yd) there in their discounted bin and my sister found several others she liked as well.
We also visited Fabric Crafts and More in O'Leary,PEI. It was a smaller shop with a yarn shop next door. I bought a yard of the squares fabric there. You can find them here.
Very happy to have a stash of new fabrics to play with and a great souvenir of our trip. Our seashells and several glass ornaments were our real souvenirs and the rest had to be consumables!!!
