Last week I took a chance and visited a local quilt shop. I say a chance, because I have not been quilting for almost a year now. But the quilt shop sent me a birthday discount. I have not been in that store for at least a couple of years.
Sweet Darlings is located in a very unconventional location. Not really near anything. So it is a little bit of a drive for me.
The one thing I noticed right away was they had a lot less material then before. Quite a bit less. Still the fabric they had was beautiful.
I think they are really counting on machine quilting, because I ran into a friend who was picking up quilts. And I know my SIL also takes her quilts up there.
So even though I didn't really find anything, or even much inspiration, it was a pleasant visit.

mmm, something "adult"? I'm curious what that might be compared to pink, pink, pink. I made my daughter one of Bonnie's oh yes, it was Garden Party, teeny pieces but great fun and scrappy of course. Good Luck - I'll be watching.
Sure hope you get back your desire to quilt, even just a small quilt for a charity. I'm betting it will jump start your love of quilting again. Wish I had someone asking for a quilt.
I'm sure Covid has had a big effect on quilt stores. I've only been in one quilt store since all this started, and I've only visited it a couple of times. I was given gift certificates to 2 quilt stores for my birthday, just before Covid hit. One of these days I'll visit those stores (neither is close to me, and with working, I just haven't had time). Maybe you'll find something simple to make for your daughter.
