Look who I got to meet yesterday! Peg is on the left and Becca is on the right. They are the ladies of Sew Fresh Fabrics and they kindly invited the Boston Modern Quilt Guild into their shop space yesterday for a little shopping. I didn't get to talk to Peg much (my fault, I am shy and not exactly outgoing) but did talk with Becca a bit and she is just as nice in person as she is in her Etsy convos.
We knew that we had found the right building when we were greeted with this view at the top of a set of stairs.
There are Japanese fabrics on the right and organics on the left. I love the way the photo makes it look like the end of the hall is glowing. It's as if the road to heaven is paved with Japanese and organic fabrics!
Inside their space, there are piles of fabrics everywhere! This is the Kona section.
I thought that it would be less difficult to shop in person but it was overwhelming! I came away with plenty though. Here is a selection of things I picked up for the Sew Out Loud QAL.
Then we headed to the local library for our Boston Modern Quilt Guild meeting. It was a brief meeting because of the shopping excursion. We had show and tell and I even remembered to take pictures this time but my camera was set to have the flash off and I didn't realize it. All the pictures ended up blurry so I don't have any to share.
We surprised our president with a baby shower. She received some adorable handmade gifts. She doesn't know if she is having a boy or a girl so we made gender neutral items. I made these booties.
It was a nice afternoon and my first time out of the house in a couple of weeks except for trips to the foodstore or doctor's office. I think everyone is finally healthy here for the moment though. Phew!
What a treat to get to check out Sew Fresh Fabrics in person. I think I would have gone a little crazy with picking up all those yummy fabrics. And what a lucky baby to get those cute booties!
ReplyDeleteOh I think if I went I wouldn't like to leave without ALL the fabric. Kid in a sweet store.....
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely road trip!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a fun day!! so glad everyone is feeling better and you could have some time out.
ReplyDeleteHow could you contain yourself? I probably would have bought out the place!
ReplyDeleteLovely booties!
ReplyDeleteSounds like such a fun day, love the glowing hall! Cute wee booties too :o)
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving me faces to put with the names! Peg & Becca rock! Would to have loved to go meet my 'dealers' in real life :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the adorable booties - I was blown away by such a sweet surprise. I am glad you enjoyed the meeting!
ReplyDeleteI love Peg and Becca. Ive bought from them a couple of times and can't say enough good things about their amazing service. On one order I had a particular fabric I wanted to use and asked them to come up with a co-ordinate from a different line. BAM! They gave me several awesome choices. Another time I was making a colour wheel quilt and gave them full rein over choosing the colours. And yes, they hit a home run with that one too. Thank you for putting faces to the names of my fabric geniuses!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun time. Booties are adorable!
ReplyDeleteWow that sounds like a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteWow! I bet that was fun. I got to visit the shop Sew Modern in LA this past weekend (you can visit my blog if you want to read about it), and I know just how you feel about being more overwhelmed in person! I felt the same way! I love the word fabrics you find. I have been looking but not necessarily finding. Sounds like you had a really fun time.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had an amazing day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun outing!! Every trip outside the house should include fabric shopping.
ReplyDeleteFun way to peek inside their studio! Love Peg and Becca!
