So, this Thursday, my husband dragged me down there while Vanilla and Pumpkin had a class.
First impression...beautiful quilts! Wonderful examples hanging. Gorgeous fabric! Cool patterns!
BUT....
Cold. Not outside...it was 75 and beautiful at 5pm in Seattle. But, the service was distant. Honestly, I felt like my presence annoyed the clerk.
Once I got over not feeling wanted...I was awed by the Seattle centered patterns. I was drawn to all the Owls...who knew that I would develop an Owl obsession? Also, the native work was amazing. I bought...gulp...patterns. Actual pattens. Here...these are the patterns that I bought.

| This was actually made and hanging in store. So lovely! |

| I saw this image carved in wood and loved it. I thought it would be cool done in...gulp...applique. |
 |
| Look! A dress pattern! I loved it and I have great fabric that I can use to make these for my girls. But....I have never made a dress before. I will have to build up my courage. |

| Aren't these adorable? They are hotpads! Looks like I can do these for Christmas Presents! |
All very cute, but I especially love the owl hotpads!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the owls! I found some towels at Joann that have owls on them, and I'm using them for "fall" kitchen towels. I have to say that I've always been a big fan of the native Pacific Northwest designs. It would be a challenge to incorporate those designs, but I think it would be so worth it and unique! Great....now you're giving ME ideas..... :o)
