Snip and Stitch…

The ‘Snip and Stitch Quilt Shop’ is located in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island…about an hours drive north from where I live.  I don’t get there very often but whenever I am in the area my car seems to veer off in its direction…now what’s with THAT?   It’s such a pretty shop that you really must see it!

There is a SALES loft upstairs so that’s how I got these shots of the main floor…looking way down.

This is the SALES loft where there are lots of 50% bargains to be had and fabric for $4 and $5 a metre!!

Tons of threads, books and notions…IMG_4826

And lots of eye candy!  Wouldn’t that circle quilt make a wonderful baby quilt…

Oh, I recognize THAT triangle quilt… ‘Toes in The Sand’ by Jaybird!  Love that quilt as it really does have an ocean feel to it!

Love the daisy chain border on this quilt…the teapots not so much.

These owls look a wee bit like the devil…so might be appropriate depending on the child…:o))

  6. It's fun to visit different shops. Each one has its own personality and flavor. Having worked in a quilt shop for many many years, I know the hard work it takes to keep a shop fresh and interesting. This shop looks like it has a lot going on.

  8. Thanks for another great quilt-shop tour, P. I used to frequent this store quite often when I lived in Port Alberni. Who could resist a shop with an address on "Jingle Pot Road".
