Scrappy Quilter Quilt Shop

When mom was back in the hospital after her fall, I took a few hours one afternoon and ran some errands for her:  bank, post office, car inspection and registration, and low and behold the good Lord put a quilt shop in front of me! 

When I walked in I was greeted by, "May we help you?". The tone was a little cool and wary. I told them I was just in need of a little fabric therapy. They asked me where I was from and they pointed to mom's car. Probably 18 years ago or so, my parents started a support group for the local police department and mom has door signs on her car for the Citizens Police Academy. The ladies thought I was there to check if they were following Covid guidelines as per the governor's regulations.

I came to de-stress! It's a nice shop, and I loved what they had:

Much of their inventory has been depleted and they too are experiencing shipping delays. They were only closed for 2 weeks as they were deemed 'essential' since they sold mask making supplies. If you were in need of black or navy fabric, the pickins were slim. This is a military town and between that and law enforcement, there has been a big demand for black and navy masks.

I was the only one in the store and I enjoyed exploring the colorful shelves

A good selection of reproduction fabrics:

And Texas pride means that Texas themed projects are always a best seller 

Something for batik fans

And tone on tone options

I was tempted by chickens:

And splurged on these Tilda jelly rolls. I really wanted a Layer Cake, but they don't come in layer cakes so jelly rolls it is- I just loved the soft, vintage colors:

I also bought a good bit of this rustic chicken wire print. I have a Chubby Chick pattern and I've been looking for a background...this'll be perfect:

And I found this multi dot that I may use as a background with this fun gray based floral I found in San Angelo when I stopped and met my SIL on the way down:

I didn't take any pictures at that little shop but I also picked up these 2 prints for a baby quilt there:

I even dug deep and visited some while I poked around although I will be honest and fess up that I am completely and totally peopled out. However, I've been wearing this shirt, washing it often, and reminding myself daily to
