On the road again to Poulsbo

Blog 63

Welcome back to "SEAMS LIKE HOME"!

On the road again, delivering posters for the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt show in Sequim, Washington.  I continued South along Puget Sound to the two Poulsbo Quilt stores. Poulsbo, also known as "Little Norway",  has a population of under 10,000.  Two quilt stores may seem like too many for a small town but that's not true. These two stores are very supportive of each other and coincidentally their owners have a the same first name, Beatrice.

The Quilt Shoppe is located in a big blue, century-old house in the old downtown area. The owner is French as you can tell the minute she talks to you in her lovely voice.   There, I saw beautiful books on handwork that I haven't seen anywhere else. Also, wonderful wool, threads and ribbons. She currently has a  block of the month group meeting in her shop.  I just couldn't resist one of the block of the month patterns she had on the wall.  It is a great pattern for the North-West.

The Quilt Shoppe in Poulsbo WA..

B's Fabric Fun & Sewing is located in the upper part of town on Viking Avenue.

You will see the bright pink banner from the road with colorful pink and blue buttons painted on the building.  The Owner,  Beatrice will greet you with a lively Hello, and help  you find what you are looking for.  She is a TinLizzie Dealer and she carries lots of the "Enchanted Valley Arts" patterns that are of local interest.  She also has long arm services and a nice big class room space.  I got a real kick out of the sign in the window; B's Fabric Fun & Sewing was shortened to BFF'S, I believe it means, Best Friends Forever 'S (Plural).  I Like it!

SEW ON AND SEW FORTH!
