I live within walking distance of one of Utah’s best quilt
shops. This is a mixed blessing. It’s great that the walk there is so pleasant.
Much of the way is lined with shade trees, and my dog doesn’t mind napping
outside the store while I explore inside. (He knows there will always be a
treat for him from the dog food store nearby.) When I run out of a particular
color of thread, or my last rotary blade goes dull, it’s much more fun to grab
the leash and trot out the door than to get in my car and deal with traffic.
The downside is I’ve yet to set foot inside this shop without hearing bolts of
new and beautiful fabric calling to me. This week it was Joanna Figueroa’s
California Girl by Moda. The line is full of peaches, yellows, creams and tans
reminiscent of sunny billboards and produce crates from the 1930’s. How could I
resist?
