Welcome back to "SEAMS LIKE HOME"!
Now, to get the word out about the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Show. We need to distribute the posters and bookmarks to all the Western Washington Quilt shops. That way when quilters shop, as they often do, (and do they ever!) they'll find out about the show. We could just mail the posters and bookmarks but I'd like to deliver as many as I can myself. I want the delivery to be more personal than just something in the mail. Traveling from West to East I began my trek to as many quilt stores as I can hit in a few days. Hey! somebody has to do it right?
First up: The Sleepy Valley Quilt company in Port Angeles. I love the quilt on the line out front and the arbor welcoming you as you enter the store from the side door. There is a homey feel to the store like entering someone's home and living room. There are lots of fabrics and patterns to look at, and they offer classes too. 
This store could very well be the most North Westerly Quilt store in the contiguous United States. I'm not sure of this but I will go into details of it's physical location in another blog.
Next: The Sequim Quilt Co. in Sequim. This is a fairly new store. They are continuing to build their inventory of fabric but their real claim to fame is their Long Arm Quilting. They have two long arm quilters.
The store has an industrial feel and that's because it is in an industrial area of town. But I'm sure you know what I do about quilt stores. We quilters will find them no matter where they are! Their inventory is still growing but they may have that special something you are looking for.
Then on to Karen's Quilt Shop also in Sequim. It's located in a mall on the main street of town. Karen's has a nice selection of fabric, with the emphasis on Batiks.
They are also a Bernina sewing machine dealer!
They have really nice classroom too.
OK, that's three great shops so far. I'll keep traveling the Olympic Peninsula then I'll be back with more photos and info.
HAPPY QUILTING!
