It is sad to see quilt stores close. Last week, I learned about Main Street Mercantile in Hillsboro closing and just yesterday I learned that the one in the Willamette area also closed.
I was in the new quilt shop in the Haggen's Shopping Center in Oregon City called Let's Quilt. Very cute shop, lots of wonderful quilts on display for the classes, and great satellite radio music -- they had the 40s on and it was great to just shop to music -- no commercials, no talking. Their prices seemed a little high but that might be the price we will have to pay in the future to be able to touch and see the fabric rather than ordering it online. Got me to thinking about the Quilting B and wondering if they were still there. Good thing I don't quilt because it is the in vogue thing to do!
The only bad news I could see about this new shop is that it is right next door to a Cold Stone Creamery ice cream shop -- it you happen to have any money left over from fabric shopping, you can just drop it next door on a $4 ice cream!
