Off to the Coop…

…the Quilter’s Coop that is, in Temecula!!  Kim, the RV Blogging Quilter, just couldn’t stay another minute in our area without us taking her to The Quilter’s Coop!  (Or so the story went to get my husband to take me us!)  Hey, a woman’s got to do, what a woman’s got to do!  And I don’t think Kim was disappoint…NO, not one bit!!

We also took Kim’s husband Don so that my husband and Don could ‘hang’ while we disappeared.  Lucky for us The Quilter’s Coop is in Old Town Temecula so there was plenty to keep them busy and out of trouble!

Enough hanging around outside, we need to get in and see what The Coop have to offer~

Let’s start in the Quilts by Cheri ROOM…yes, she has her own room/section…and I loved every square inch of it!!  Filled with her quilts, patterns and lovely homespun fabrics…Yum!!  A lot of her patterns weren’t available and are on order…so I will HAVE to come back…darn! Winking smile

  10. Oh my gosh, what a wonderful quilt shop. I so wish I was there. Hope the quilters in the area realize how lucky they are to have a store like this. Love the Cheri section, and the Civil War. I'll be going back to this post for the next few days in case I missed anything. You didn't mention if you bought anything.

  12. First I must say how "summery" you two are dressed. I really, really, really am jealous at how may wonderful quilt shops you get to visit! A new trailer was for bringing home more quilting stuff and not for comfort right! Have a great day in the sun as our snow has finally melted!

  15. Nice photos of the shop, but WHAT did you buy??? I love how they made up the French General - what a great idea to put the bowties into the middle of the blocks as well! All of the pennyrugs are adorable. Thanks for the tour Paulette.

  25. Looks like you had a wonderful time! Love your quilt shop tours. I personally don't like it when my hubby is waiting/looming outside while I shop. I find I don't really enjoy myself as much. He doesn't care who much money I spend but he doesn't get how much time I spend.

  26. I love the look of this shop. I think I'd probably need a day in there, that and a very deep pocket!
