A Visit to the Quilt Vine Fabric Store

 Derby wanted to go for a car ride yesterday but

that just wasn't in the fabric cards.

 My first visit to the Quilt Vine Creative Sewing Center

located in Trappe, Maryland.  Why did I wait so long?

 Meet Candy Stiffler ... owner of the Quilt Vine.

Candy followed her dream of owing a fabric store 

{and teaching the craft of quilting} when

she found the perfect location and house on

Main Street in Trappe, Maryland.

 This fabric was my impulse purchase for the day.

 Meet Candy's daughter ... Faith

 The Quilt Vine is bright, nicely laid out and the fabric is

grouped by color, design and/or style.

I love the touches of whimsy like the old fashion gum ball

machine [pictured above] filled with spools of tread. 

The quilt is simply stunning!

 Lou {pictured above} and Candy helped me find exactly

what I was looking for to complete two of the grand kids
 quilts.  I appreciate all the time and the many bolts of fabric
they pulled from the shelves for me to look at.

 Isn't this fabric stunning?  I love the bright colors and

big bold prints.  I just noticed one that just might work

for the back of the turtle quilt I have on my
'production schedule' to make for my mom to give to a
 relative as a gift.  Guess it will mean another trip!

When I look at all the fabric on the top two shelves
I think ... happy fun fabrics for spring.

 I wish I would have taken a close-up of this

wall hanging so you could see all the details.
