Quilting Cottage is located directly across from the public library in American Fork in a sweet old home. It was fun to browse the store and visit with old friends there. I ran into Janene (she gave us the fabulous lap boards at our quilt group) as she was shopping and Suzanne, who is my pal and runs the store.
The high ceilings in the main rooms lend themselves to hanging lovely ideas around the perimeter. Aren't these holiday mini quilts cute against the transoms?
This patchwork quilt looks great positioned over the decorative trim.
On the other side are bags and aprons. If you look closely you can see my "Mixed Bag" up there.
One quilt Shelbie and I were especially in love with is this flimsy made from new Moda fabric. It has a Japanese type feel to it and the colors are wonderful. Shelbie's trying to think of something fun to make with this line. (or have me make ;-))
This is my favorite corner of the store where my favorite fabrics are found and that dress quilt sure looks familiar!
More aprons and bags. You can see there is so much that catches your eye.
Here is Suzanne. Her grandson popped into the store to bring her a treat while we were there.
We thought this quilt was especially cute too. I love everything about it including the applique and center block. I really like that idea of bordering with strips of different fabrics.
Later this week I'll show you the fabric I bought for my bag lining and trim. I have to get a little more finished on it first.
Spring and St. Paddy's day tomorrow!

What a fun little shop! We'll have to make a trip up there sometime.
I love quiltshops and all the inspiration! Thanks for sharing the pictures - I've been drooling over the Wonderland line too :)
Nanette, So funny, the first things that I picked out of the pictures were your creations!! You are just so famous. By the way, my son turns 14 in a few weeks too. Happy Birthday, Mason!
I really need to take a trip down south. This is definitely a place to visit. Mimi
Such a cute little shop! Your creations look fabulous on display!
Cheers,
Dionne
PS - Happy Birthday to Mason!
Oh I love field trips. I have one planned for next month and will share too! ;o) ooxx`jodi
drat! I wish now that I had been more into quilting when we lived in Provo! I would love to visit, but now I'm all the way across the country!
What a great shop...and your bag and dress quilt look wonderful up on the wall! What line is that Moda Japanese fabric...is it Wonderland?
OMG, if I was lucky enough to have such a LOVELY quilt shop (Alibaba Cavern!) I'd spend my whooole days (and money) there, for sure !
THANKS for showing, Nanette ;>)
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Thanks for the tour of the Quilting Cottage. That's one place I haven't been yet. Did they move into this building in the last two years? I'll have to check it out next time I drive up North.
What a safe (and inexpensive) way to go quilt fabric shopping! You do the showing and spending and I sit here and enjoy!
Hey -- I've been there LOL! And it's a really cute shop too!
Great store and I love that last quilt too.
Fun store! I wish we could make it that far south on our shop hop. Just never venture past Gardner Village.
Oh my, I love that last quilt. Looks so simple but the little bar- detail just makes it.
You must have hated to leave after that experience. Oh but you said you go there often. Lucky you!
Lovely store. I bet it is such a good feeling for you to see your work displayed.
Happy Birthday Mason!
What a fun trip with Shelbie, Nanette and I saw your work right away! Such a cute shop!
Cheers!
Neat quilt shop. It's always nice to completed projects for ideas. I usually like to add my own personal touch or put a couple of ideas together.
What a beautiful quilt shop. We just don't have ANYthing like that around here. I love it that they are featuring all your things.. that is so much fun.
Happy Birhday Macon. Seems like you are always having a birthday there! :-D
You know I love shopping online as much as you but thank goodness for our local quilt shops too, huh? Yours looks wonderful. :-)
First Happy Birthday Mason! What a fun shop and all the more fun to see your creations all over. i would love to get into that corner too!!
i've never even wanted to travel to Utah. but you sure have some cute quilt shops.
Wow! That store looks amazing. I love the Shamrock Quilt. Hope things are going well for you and a Happy Birthday to Mason. I've been out of the loop for a while and not feeling well...so it's good to get back into blogland.

What a neat store! I've ordered from a store by that name before! Are they on ebay?
Thanks for sharing your pictures of that quilt store. WOW! I would love to have a store like that near by!
such a lovely shop
happy b day to your son :)
Nanette,
It looks like you've been busy but, I didn't want you to miss the party that's going on at my place. Come by for a visit and stay awhile if you get a chance. You won't want to miss out. Invite Flora too and you can bring your friends with you if they want to come.
Hugs, Kim
P.S. I love all of the pictures of the quilts.
Happy Birthday to Mason. I was just in that shop Thursday. It is very nice. I just love it.
How lovely to get a birds I view of a Quilt Shop. I too love the pink and white quilt and the applique.

Nanette-
Thanks for the tour:) I went there for the first time last shop-hop.
Now I'm reminded I should zip over there again....
Your designs are DARLING in there!
Lori
What a fabulous store!! I can see why you love that last quilt -- it looks like so much fun!
What a fabulous store. I see why you enjoy it.
What a neat quilt shop! There are so many quilts and projects to get inspired. Lovely sweet and soft colors.
You're right...Utah does have the best quilt shops!! Looks like a great day!! Lovely shop!
I love the Quilting Cottage. My daughter and her family almost bought the house next door. I could never live that close to a quilt shop;) Isn't Spring the greatest??? Well, at least a close second to Fall;) Love it!!!
Lovely little shop. The quilts hanging in there are so sweet.
Thank you for sharing lovely pics :)
Another quilt shop to put on my list of must-sees someday. It is a lovely shop and all the inspiration is wonderful. I really like seeing your creations being showcased there, too.
