Quilt It! Ya Ya

A couple of days ago we were driving through this little town called Aztec, New Mexico when I spot a quilt shop sign…Quilt It! Ya Ya.  I yell out, “QUILT SHOP!”  My husband say, “Do you want to stop?”  So of course I say “Ya Ya”! 

Here it is…an old house converted into a quilt shop!!  I find quilt shops in old houses so quaint with so much character!  Love them and this one was no exception!

This is Gail, owner of Quilt It! Ya Ya and my new BFF.  What a nice lady!  Very friendly and sweet and she use to live in Vancouver with her first husband…but that’s another story.  (Ah, the life on the road…)

The front bedroom…Gail even sold long arm sewing machines and frames…she gave me the hard sell…(can’t you see me going out to the trailer with with one of these…Oh honey, I’ll need a little help loading this….Ha ha) but  alas…there was no stitch regulator so I said no thank you…;o)

Ya Ya I had fun!!  If you are EVER driving through Aztec, New Mexico you have GOT to stop!! Remember it’s Quilt It! Ya Ya…Oh and the best thing about the shop~(besides Gail that is) ALL the fabric was $7.29 or LESS~ because most of her customers are retired and she wants to give them a break!!  Told you she was nice!!

Have a marvellous Monday and Happy Quilting!!

  8. I too love the shops in old houses, you are getting into my neck of the woods, we live about 8 hours north of SLC and if you are coming our direction on your way home, I can point you in the direction of some great quilt shops, poor Rick!
