On to Temecula, CA

Temecula has 3 shops that I wanted to see.   The first one I went to is Quilter's Coop.   They were really busy and I didn't want to interrupt anyone to ask if I could take pictures, so I ended up leaving not being able to share any with you.  Sorry!   They are closing at the end of the year. What a shame as it was a wonderful shop.

Across the street from Quilter's Coop is The Wool Lady.   I didn't get a picture of the outside of the shop because it was so darn hot outside, but if you go to her website, she has a great slideshow of her store.   Anyway, what a darling little shop it is.   And Ruth, the owner, is just delightful.

Here we go...



For such a little space, the shop packs a wallop!   No wasted space anywhere.    Need any wool?   Ruth has it available in any cut you can afford...big or little.








And she's got silk matka and prairie cloth which can be quite hard to find sometimes.





Need any blues or purples?   It's here!


And check out these patterns.  Have you ever seen so many?


Books too!


And kits galore!


Special little fun things.


I didn't get the name of this quilt, but it was spectacular hanging at the checkout counter.   All wool!


After I got to talking to Ruth, she said that since it was my first time in the shop, I could pick out 12 buttons for FREE out of this bucket.   Well...you would have thought I was picking out diamonds, because it took me longer to pick out 12 little buttons than it took me to pick out paint colors for our new house.   How can it be so hard to pick out 12 buttons?   Obviously, quite hard for me.   LOL


If you're ever in Temecula, be sure and stop by The Wool Lady and say hi to Ruth!     (Oh, she has lots of yarn too.  Since I'm not a knitter, I didn't even think to take pictures of it but you can catch a glimpse of some in the very first picture).    

I'll finish up with Temecula Quilt Co next time. 

Hugs, Anne

Lol....just like a girl in a candy shop, but my gosh there are so many I can see why you pondered your choices. I LOVE all the wool but what is awesome is how you can SEE her wool choices. She has done a wonderfully displaying her product.
Thanks for sharing your fun shop hop.
