Two Ports and a Ferry

Blog 62

Welcome Back To "SEAMS LIKE HOME"!

I'm back on the road going West to East delivering Posters and bookmarks to advertise the Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Show.  This time I'm going to two ports and a Ferry!

The first "Port" is Port Townsend, WA.  Just on the outskirts of town is Creative Union, a pretty quilt shop in a pretty location. The Owner, Susan, is the Creative force behind Creative Union.  She has lots of great ideas and truly loves what she does.  The shop has a nice selection of fabric with lots of samples on the walls.  It's light and airy and a pleasant place to shop.  It has a big roomy classroom too.
 

Next stop, or "Port", is Port Gamble and Quilted Strait.  This is a beautiful large open shop with Lots of fabric and a great selection of Handwork items including wool, specialized threads, needles, patterns and kits.  They have a great classroom and often have well known Instructors.

Quilted Strait's home is a historical building in the Historical Town of Port Gamble.  The Atmosphere here is quaint with lots of historical buildings along the shore at the entrance to the Hood Canal.  A great store in a lovely town.  

Next Stop the "Ferry" in Kingston.

The Kingston Quilt Shop is literally right by the Kingston Ferry terminal.  It's in a cute row of buildings right on the main street.  There's plenty of parking in the back.  It has a good selection of fabrics, especially batiks and a wall full of patterns.  They have longarm quilting services and an area of the shop for classes.

As I said before, Kingston Quilt Shop is right by the Ferry.  Stay to the left or you will be getting ON the Ferry.  As for me, I'll stay to the left because I'd rather enjoy shopping in this quilt shop than get on the boat!

Plus there is an ice cream shop next door!
