Last week I traveled a bit but I didn't get much sewing done at all. I didn't travel far but far enough that it felt like I was on a vacation. It wasn't a vacation because it was a conference on vulnerable readers. It was a fantastic conference, just saying. But even better was that it was over in Victoria and the weather was beyond splendid. Now Victoria is the provincial capital of British Columbia and is an all round beautiful city. So instead of sewing, I was learning about what do about getting all our wee kiddies reading and then when the conference was over, I was getting to walk and walk and walk in places like this. I did find a quilt shop too. Of course I did. Satin Moon Quilt Shop to be exact.
Little bit of scooter fabric on sale!!!!!! And some Aneela Hooey grey, low volume. Nice!
So... don't forget to enter the giveaway and welcome to all my new followers!!!! There are too many comments to answer! What a lovely problem!
I did the same thing last summer. We walked all along the sea wall and I got burnt to a crisp ; ) I found the shop Bib n Tucker which was interesting. Enjoy your new fabrics
ReplyDeleteBeen to Victoria many many times, but never to the fabric store. Is it a good one?
ReplyDeleteI used to love it when I occasionally got away for work and discovered a new place or revisited an old one. Enjoy your additions to the stash :)
ReplyDeleteCute scooter fabric! But then you always do find the good stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou were wandering my old haunts! I used to work at the Museum, many years ago and walked to work via the harbour... yes, I was lucky enough to walk through downtown everyday! Glad you discovered Satin Moon, it is a spectacular shop and has been in business for at least 25 years so they sure know how to keep a fabric lover happy!
ReplyDeleteLove Victoria, although I haven't been in years. How wonderful to have found a quilt shop too! Love the choices you made!
ReplyDeleteI've been told I'd love Victoria. I want to go even more now. And yay for helping vulnerable readers! Hope the conference was worthwhile - it's terrible when PD is more about staying awake than getting new strategies...
