I’ve heard reports of heavy drooling happening in Blogland lately!! Don your bibs.. we have one more day of touring at the Country Loft in LaMesa, CA.
When Kathy said that I could take pictures at the Country Loft Quilt Shop I hope she didn’t mind that I took so many! There was just SO much eye candy that it was hard to pick and choose…!
As I said, the Country Loft is jam packed with Raggedy Andies and Raggedy Annes…. Let me show you just a few of them…
Cute hey!
On every shelf…in every little cubby…there they are!
This little Santa Wannabe was tucked behind a little display!
And of course there was a magnificent real Santa..totally hand crafted!
OK…now let’s get back to the quilts! Here we have more Cheri Payne originals!! Just lovely! She does such a wonderful job of antiquing them. Enlarge the picture to see the mottled effect.
And some more…
If you follow Cheri’s Blog then you will recognize this little Santa Quilt!! She just designed and stitched him up and he is STUNNING!! Totally wonderful!! I HAD to buy the pattern to this one!!
Sweet little needle keepers designed by JAM were all kitted up ready to go!
This quilt was hanging from a cupboard door..it was made out of that REALLY soft flannel in charm pack sized squares…with vines of pussy willows (done in wool) stitched all around. So simple, so soft, so elegant, so stunning!
A dang cute kitted up Pin Cushion designed by Kathy Cardiff.
I took this picture for Claire…this little number is on her ‘to-do list’…VERY SWEET!! Claire you HAVE to make it!!
There are also wonderful Wool Crazy Projects by JAM throughout the shop…this one is framed…just look at those stiches! Lovely!!
And Crazy pillows, boxes and mats…
Is this not a keeper…LOVE IT!!
And just look at this wonderful round table mat!! These are all from JoAnn’s second book.
Little kits of wool ornaments…
We are now moving up to the till…I spotted the snowman and the Andy mat on the wall… SEE…it’s made of wool and it’s inside the smaller round container…it was CALLING MY NAME loud and clear…then…
I met JoAnn and her helper and totally forgot to ask…they were both so friendly and posed so nicely that I forgot all about it until I looked at my pictures!! Oh well…maybe next year!?
So there you have it…THREE days of shopping at the Country Loft! And all because there was a little pitter patter of rain on the roof of our 5th wheel. So did we escape the bad weather?
Afraid not…
This is what the Freeway looked like on the way home…OUCH!! But the good news is it was nice and dry back home…who knew!
Have a woolie Wednesday and Happy Quilting!~P
PS. Remember the Country Loft has an on-line shop…(just sayin’..) You might want to go and take a look around…Christmas IS coming and you have been a good little quilter!! Click Country Loft Website …you might just want to place an order. If you can’t see it listed then give them a shout out!! I’m sure they would be happy to help!
Lots and lots of drooling going on here. I really enjoyed going shopping with you; thank you for taking me along. :-)
