- Aigle, Switzerland. This is a little village 60 mins by train from Geneva. There was a needlework shop and quilting shop next to each other down an old cobbledstoned laneway. We were there on Sunday and I was trying to work out the hours sign (written in French, of which I know very little). It said: Lundi - Ferme.... anyway, dropped in again on Monday, to find the shop closed. Now I know that it means Monday - Closed.
- Lausanne, Switzerland. There was a Bernina shop with patchwork fabrics, in the main shopping street
- Sion, Switzerland (I think). Another Bernina shop, which was closed.. for holidays, I think.
- Stirling, Scotland. A craft/sewing machine shop just off the High Street. Had nice little collection of patchwork fabrics, cross-stitch kits, etc.
- Las Vegas, USA
Of course, when in the USA, one must check out the quilt shops.
I had googled Las Vegas quilt shops at home and had a list of the five shops in town, plus found out how far each was from our hotel. We were in Las Vegas for only a couple of days, but we did manage to get to the Fabric Boutique on Charleston Blvd. I ended up with this bag of Fat Quarters, at half what we would pay in Australia. ie $2.75 ea.
We bought a medium suitcase in Las Vegas as we both bought clothes at the outlet stores. The pocket in the suitcase lid was just the perfect size to slide in the rolled FQs. :-)
