Shop #5: Quilt "Stitches &" Wood "Shavings"

Welcome to Stitches and Shavings! Talk about a small town. Lovingston is a street with some houses on it and a church. It looks old enough. It probably has lots of history. The sun was starting to set.What a cute little shop. The owners are a couple. The "Stitches" part of the title is easy to figure out. The "Shavings" part comes from the husband. He carves the coolest stuff out of wood. As a matter of fact he was one of the first Scaveger Hunt clues: "wooden thimbles". He also makes quilt racks and wine stoppers. They are really great and the quilt racks are made to order. Check out their website if your are interested.

Look at their great Shop Tour Quilt. The owner (the wife) made this one. She had a great idea to put a clock in the center of the quilt. Notice on the right the little flower vase which was also made of the Tour fabrics. Below is the free pattern that the shop was giving away. It's an over the door fan.

Here is the second clue: The talking parrot. He's hanging out with the owners of the shop. They had a great time chatting with us. The shop didn't happen to be very busy at that moment so we had time to visit with them. Lucy did more shopping that me. Not too much grabbed me in this shop. I mostly talked and laughed with the owners who were great people.

Of course, I did buy a little something at the store. I piece of fabric for my Halloween collection and a Boy Scouts of America fabric with merit badges on it. Don't know what I will do with it but Big Boy will be bridging into Boy Scouts in February and I thought it might come in handy. Of course I bought the shop tour fabric.

Both Lucy and I didn't win anything at that store (we didn't draw the right ticket) but we did have fun. You can tell the day is starting to wear on us. It's time to get back in the car for another ride south. I think we have to go another 30-45 minutes before the last shop of the day. So lets move on and get to the good stuff.
