Kathie's Quilt Shope

Kathie's Quilt Shopee

Sanford, Maine

We were headed south and thought that we were making such great time that we would change the order that we had originally planned.  So we decided to stop at Kathie's first.  

We arrived 20 minutes before opening, and soon behind us another person pulled in.  She went inside so we figured she must work there.  

We had arrived at our first shop of the year and this would be the debut of the three matching bags we had made for this special "shop hop" adventure.  So this is where the bags were seen together for the first time.  

This quilt shop was in the form of a house.  It was broken up to many different rooms and each room seemed to have a bit of a different theme.  One room had bright new modern fabrics, one with slight more old fashioned and darker fabrics.  One room had all wool.  One room was a clearance room.  

Everything was spread out nicely so that there was space to move around and view everything.  The staff was very pleasant and sociable.  When I see shops like this where everything is so wonderfully laid out and the staff is so pleasant it makes me make a note in my memory that this would be a shop I would visit again if I was in the area.   

This is the challenge quilt that Kathie's Quilt Shoppe had put together.  At each shop the staff had put together to follow specific requirements and each quilt would be judged by all the people who complete more than 15 of the shops.  

Although this shop had a limited selection of fat quarters I was able to find something along my green lines that would be the start of my collection of fat quarters.
