Due to the cyclical nature of my job (I'm a secondary school teacher) we have a fresh start at the beginning of Semester Two when we meet all new students and, in my case, teach all new courses as well. In many ways it is a fabulous refresh but it is also exhausting, paired with downright miserable grey weather that isn't going anywhere (winter lasts soooooo long!).
Enter a shop hop/ travelling quilt exchange/ lunch with friends! C and A and I agreed on a little shop hop to check out a new bricks-and-mortar store for an online store we all knew of, Fabric Spark.
 |
| Fabric Spark was having a birthday celebration! |
Fabric Spark is a bricks-and-mortar new shop from a combination of two online stores. It was cute but it was a long drive.
 |
| Bright, open shelves and pretty modern fabrics. |
We then ventured on over to Ewe Knit in their "new" location which I have not yet been to.
 |
| Their storefront is lovely. |
 |
| The inside is even more lovely! |
I really enjoyed the vibe, size and selection here at Ewe Knit. I bought a few fabrics and C bought a TON of embroidery floss.
Then we decided to pop over to The Workroom.
 |
| This is the most "downtown" of the stores and also the most expensive. |
I was able to score something lovely while at The Workroom, plus C was able to sign up for an EPP class she is going to take in March.
Here was my haul from the day:

Aren't they all just super yummy? That orange and yellow were a result of C challenging me to get something that wasn't green or blue or teal. That was hard. That background Alison Glass will be the backing of my #QBtravellingquilt.

The day was super awesome, but it took way to long to blog about it. Some of these have already been cut and put into action for WIPs!
Sounds like you had a great day. Awesome haul of fabric. If I went shopping every time I had the winter blues, I'd be shopping daily. LOL
