I'm currently out of town visiting family. I took the opportunity to
check out the fabric stores here in Ottawa. A number of them were closed
for the holidays which was disappointing. I visited Sew For It in Bells
Corners. It had a huge stock, but didn't carry any of the more modern
fabric lines. No Moda, Robert Kaufman, Riley Blake, Michael Miller. They
also didn't cut fat quarters from the bolt which I found very strange
for a quilt shop. What they did have was a ton of tone on tone prints,
so I picked up a number of fabrics for my Farmer's Wife Quilt in teals,
greens and blues.
The other shop I visited was
Dragonfly Fabrics in Alta Vista. They had a more limited selection of
fabrics but carried modern designs. My Mom bought me the adorable Eric
Carle Hungry Caterpiller panel and border prints which I can't wait to
quilt up into a wall hanging for Levi.
Happy New Year!
