Shop #4: Take a Walk in the Cottonwood

If you ever get to Charlottesville you should stop in at Cottonwood.

The inside of the shop is pretty big. They have brights and Modas and wools and flannels. Lots and lots of fabric and Bernina machines as well.

Their Tour quilt was pretty. It had applique on it. Their Tour free pattern is in the bottom left corner of the picture. It is a quilt keeper bag and is hidden behind the big white sign.

The only things that I found at this shop were a couple of pinks and this great blue and red paisley (I love paisleys). I needed a really great fabric to make pillow shams for my new King bedquilt made from the Moda Fredericksburg line. Not sure this will work but I love it anyway.

Lucy and I found the clues: A "personalized clock face" (embroidered on one of their machines no doubt) and a "collection of miniature quilts". My free door prize at this shop was a nine patch pincushion kit (complete with tiny little bag of batting). Lucy got a little coin purse which came from Taiwan (but at least it was constructed).

I love the fabrics in this shop but this was not Lucy and Phyllis' favorite shop by any means. I think it was just the atmosphere. I can't say that I haven't experienced it before. It just wasn't as fun and friendly as the other stores. But enough of that.... we have driving to do. I think we are heading about 30 minutes south through the valley to another little tiny town called Lovingston. I wonder what it looks like... stayed tuned to find out.

Grand Total at Cottonwood: $24.80
