Quilt Shop Delights



Just for a change from Truly Scrumptious, here are some photos I took of the shop area at The Quilted Crow's Christmas Gathering in September.

If you're anything like me, you like to see lots of samples when you visit a quilt shop. The Quilted Crow is very inspirational in this respect.



I love the way they use old furniture, suitcases and bric-a-brac to display their wares.





These quilts hanging on the wall made a fabulous backdrop to the shop area.



Some Natalie Bird patterns and comptatible fabrics.

Hope you enjoyed these piccies. It is a holiday on Monday in Northern Tasmania. As I don't work tomorrow, that makes four days off. Hoping to do some serious stitching.
It's also nearly time for the Christmas decorating to start! I like to start in early November ... it's always exciting unpacking each box ... takes me about two weeks ... usually do a mini spring clean at the same time.

    What great pictures! That shop looks like it must be very very easy to spend lots of money there. Very, very easy. LOL

    Wow! Some great projects in those photos. I like the Halloween table mat and some of the quilts. I am going to do a search on Natalie Byrd to see if she has a web site. I would like to see more of her work.

    I am enjoying your blog and really want to thank you for listing the ones that you read in order by country. I love reading "foreign" blogs and yours is the first one to organize things this way. Great idea! The photos are inspiring - keep up the good work!

    What great photos! Thanks for giving those of us who can't visit the shop an opportunity to enjoy. I agree that I like to be inspired by samples and ideas when I go to a quilt shop. That shop is a "real" destination. I'm wondering too why is it a long weekend in Tasmania? Keep up the great blog. Carmel
