Center Diamond Quilt Shop in Cannon Beach, Oregon

 Last week while on vacation in Cannon Beach, Oregon I visited the wonderful Center Diamond quilt shop several times. They have a huge selection of batiks, Asian designs, and black and whites. Plus lots more. Books and notions too. If you're in Oregon, this is a "must see" Say hi to Julie. See her blog for news updates.

Cottage Bliss in the Rocky Mountains

I visited a wonderful quilt shop recently and I wanted to share it with you, so I took lots of photos. This shop is located right near the Rocky Mountain National Park in the town of Estes Park, Colorado.

When you enter the shop you are offered a cup of hot tea, served in an elegant china teacup. As you look around, you might wonder if you've suddenly entered heaven. (I checked to see my car still outside, just to make sure.) Look at these silver bracelets, $10-$17. They are stretchy so you can easily put them on.

Such an elegant combination of fabrics, china, gifts, books, etc. A real feast for the eyes.

There were lots of quilts on the walls, but I was asked not to photograph them since they sell the patterns. Okay, that makes sense.

Aren't these beautiful fabrics? If we were shopping here together, I'd point to the bolt below (orange/pink floral) and say "Isn't this a pretty one?" How do you like this virtual shopping? :)

If you're near Estes Park sometime, you'll enjoy Cottage Bliss!
