Houston quilt festival post follow up

At the quilt expo, I met a local sewing enthusiast (Sheree) that sells beautiful fabric who was opening up a studio in the downtown area.  I finally decided to check it out.  It’s called Open Studio and on the third Saturday of every month local artists/photographers/sewers open up their studios for people to stop by and watch them do their thing.  I talked Crystal, my sewing buddy from Frivolous Necessity, into coming with me, and we went crazy with the Moda Arcadia line of fabric.

A whole nursery would be cute with this fabric wouldn’t it?

Isn’t it beautiful?

Sheree gave us a steal of a deal and was so nice to cut 35 fat quarters plus some for each of us. She also informed us that Moda is located in Dallas and they open their warehouse doors twice a year where they practically give fabric away for $1-3 dollars a yard! Sheree also makes and sells little girl dress patterns. We could become her pattern testers and get VIP tickets to next years show! I may just dip my finger into the world of sewing clothing.

Supposedly the Houston Quilt Festival is the largest in the world.  You’d think there would be more fabric stores here wouldn’t ya?
