In October of 2014, just shy of my 21st birthday, I started an adventure with my husband. The adventure: trucking across the United States. The goal: visit every quilt shop I can (at least one from every state) and bring home souvenirs. I wasn't able to make that goal in the 8 months we were out, but now I'm happily home and sewing more than ever :)

~Colorado
Today we got to another fabric store, like, 3 days after visiting Albuquerque! This one's called Fabric Bliss, and they had a great selection of modern fabric, which is another of my favorite's. Today was their first day open in their new location. They only moved a few shops down, but they got more space by moving.
New Mexico~
Woohoo! It's been less than a week, and I've been to TWO more shops!! First is New Mexico!
We went to The Quilt Works in Albuquerque, which was a pretty fantastic shop. Lots of brights and Batiks and Kaffe Fassett. I wish it was my home town shop, seeing as brights and Batiks are my absolute favorites!

Finally, another! Ohio!
Well, it has been a WHILE! It's really quite sad that it took me this long to get to another shop =/
I did get to Fabric Depot in Portland on my way home between South Dakota and now, but I go there all the time and I had a shopping list for that one, so it doesn't really count.
The shop I visited in Ohio was called The Little Shop of Stitches (which is a fantastic name, if I do say so myself. I'm a huge fan of musicals, especially Little Shop of Horrors, so I was pretty excited about this one).

Nebraska, Nebraska
On our way back down to Texas, we stopped in Valentine, NE, which was a really cute little
town with a really cute little fabric store. The shop we visited was
called Country Fabrics and Crafts. They had quite an array of
fabric types, including some denim fabric that I got to patch some of our
pants.
Howdy, Y'all!
Yep, I’m cheesy like that.
Sorry for such a long hiatus, I’m not very good at this
whole blogging thing. But I got to another shop! It was about a mile away from
where we parked, and it was in Texas so it was really hot (even in January) but
it was worth it. A cute little shop called B & B Quilting in Buda, but it had quite
a few bolts of fabric. I got to meet one of the owners, and she helped check me
out, which was pretty awesome.

Montana, woo!
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season this year, no
matter what you celebrate! We got back on the road on the 28th, and
spent our new years in Casper, WY. Didn’t do anything special really, but I did
try deep-fried Oreos a couple hours before the new year…pretty great last meal
of 2014, if I do say so maself :)
Before we stopped for the night on the 31st, I
was lucky enough to find a quilt store in Montana, just a couple blocks from
our delivery. That was pretty cool, it usually doesn’t work out that well. That
shop was Thimbelina’s, in Livingston, MT:
