Serendipity Quilt Shop

I found my new favorite quilt shop in Delaware! Serendipity Quilt Shop in Dagsboro.

I can't say enough good things about it! My favorite part... The ladies working there. So pleasant, so helpful, so nice and inviting! Great selection of fabrics and notions and patterns.

They had a very nice selection of Sea Shore and ocean fabrics that in the Midwest we don't usually get. As well as some lovely patterns. I left the store with a baggy full of goodies, including some supplies to try English Paper Piecing. Should be a nice project that I can work on while traveling for work.

Christmas Quilt Shop

So bummed! One of my favorite destination quilt shops is in Historic Lewes, Delaware. It is close to my Mom and Dad's home in Delaware, it's super cute, has nice people and I absolutely love all the variety of 'ocean' themed fabric. Living in the Midwest we really don't get that variety of sea shore themes. PLUS... No taxes....

Being here this week between Christmas and New Years I headed over to Mare's Bears Quilt Shop to pursue the goods and see if there was anything that had to come home with me to Chicagoland.

We pulled up and.... CLOSED. Not just for the day but for THE ENTIRE WEEK that I am here. Such a total bummer. I stared longingly through the window and turned away with a pouty lower lip.


I am determined! tomorrow we head to Dagsboro, DE to check out a brand new to me quilt shop plus several antique shops. keeping my fingers crossed to find another gem of a quilt shop with lots of ocean themed fabrics to play with.
