Fabric Field Trip with the Cotton Cuts Crew!

Fabric Field Trip with the Cotton Cuts Crew!

28th Oct 2021

Hi it’s Ali again! So while chatting over lunch with the lovely ladies I work with here at Cotton Cuts, I mentioned that I had never been to a quilt shop….crickets. I know, super crazy right?! Yes, technically Cotton Cuts is a quilt shop, but not in the traditional sense. So, when they picked their jaws up from the floor, they declared that we need to take a field trip to a few of our local quilt shops. I love adventures! We decided to visit 3 vastly different quilt shops, so I could experience what each one had to offer. Now, this is not a review of these shops, so I’m not going to mention where we went, but OMG did we have fun!



Our first shop specializes in batiks, which are my absolute favorite. I have never met a batik I didn’t love. I could spend numerous hours in this shop…which would be endless fun for me, but not my bank account! These fabrics were unbelievably beautiful, and I now have many ideas swirling in my head for projects down the road. I grabbed a couple gorgeous fabrics for who knows what, but I had to have them! Amanda and Amy practically had to tear me out of there kicking and screaming because I did NOT want to leave…but then they mentioned lunch, so off we went!



Our second shop was your more traditional quilt/fabric shop. They had lots of inspiration projects around and kits they put together to make the shopping experience easier so you can grab and go. I purchased some glow in the dark fabric to make my youngest daughter a Halloween candy bag, she’s going to love it!



Our third and final shop was a small, independent shop that had recently moved to a new location. It was cute! Amanda and I searched for some fabric she needed for a project, but it’s a popular one, so we struck out. We saw some gorgeous fabrics and, of course, lots of inspiration for more projects that may or may not ever get started…or completed. I could honestly spend all day looking at fabrics, getting ideas from amazing creators, and plotting my next project…but my family likes attention too. Now, I need to make that Halloween bag!
