Last year, when visiting one of my son's at University in Reno, I first discovered Windy Moon Quilts. It's a large shop not too far from the 'strip' in a slightly odd location, but easily found. The staff are helpful, the selection is vast, and they are also a Bernina/Janome dealership (my machines of choice). I headed back there this past weekend and took two of my friends with me. We came away with a little fabric, an interesting ruler, some bobbins, and a pattern. Plus we had a nice chat with the owner who located to Reno from Napa a few years ago. So if you happen to be in Reno, make sure you check out this shop. Tell them I sent you!

Another shop I discovered on my travels a few years ago is located in Sisters, Oregon. The Stitchin' post is at one end of a lovely main street in beautiful Central Oregon. I remember a picturesque drive through an abundance of lush forest and the countryside was inspiration for a nature themed quilt. The store was beautifully laid out and had some amazing fabrics and my kids were good sports about indulging their mama visiting a store while we were on vacation.

Last but not least is for the overseas traveler. If you find yourself in London, my birthplace, make sure you head down to Liberty's. Located inside a gorgeous Tudor style building in the West End of Central London near the Oxford Circus tube station, Liberty's of London houses an array of "haberdashery" and homewares. I treated myself to a gorgeous piece of fabric in the softest lawn cotton called Liberty Tana Fawn that I ultimately used in a wall hanging.
