Quilts Etc. is absolutely my favorite quilt store. They have a convenient location and a large selection of fabrics, patterns and tools. The employees there are very helpful and friendly. Their sister store across the street, The Handmaiden, has wonderful machine quilters and needlework supplies. I’ve enjoyed every class I’ve ever taken at Quilts Etc., especially their Saturday morning block-of-the-month classes. The book they chose was The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Arthur Conan Doyle. They built a small pub in their classroom and served lemonade and BBQ beef sandwiches. There was even a mystery for guests to solve; a prize quilt had been cruelly murdered. If you could solve the mystery, you might win a prize. I scratched my head over it for a while, but I had no idea who dunnit. It’s okay, because I DID win the drawing. I got a few fat quarters, some fun buttons, and some cotton/bamboo batting.
