Alaskan Quilt Shop

Given I'm so drawn to beautiful quilts created by others, I always make sure I find the quilt shops when I'm in a new place. So on my travels last year to Ketchikan, Alaska, here's what I found. I loved the outdoor-themed fabrics in these wonderful nooks!



And here's a friendly lady I met in an Anchorage shop. Quilting is a huge pastime up there. Not surprising with all those dark, cold, and I must say, cozy, winter months up north. I'd be stitching hard too if I lived there!
