LA Shop Hop

My DH had a last minute business trip to Burbank CA and the rest  is self explanatory....while hubby was at work, I made good use of my time by visiting quilt shops, I did have one side trip to Warner Bros Studio but I won't bore you with that. Burbank is North of LA and I wasn't too sure how I could handle the freeways so I decided to head in the opposite direction from LA to Thousand Oaks, I had no idea where I was going but with the GPS it told me exactly how to get to my destinations, no problem. First stop was Cottons and Chocolate where I took all these pictures and stayed I think for 1 1/2hrs, it was a fantastic shop . There was so much to look at and I loved all the wonderful displays, the owner was very friendly, I really enjoyed every minute in this shop. Next stop was Quilt Emporium , these ladies were very friendly and chatty and I forgot to take pictures. Next was Candy's Quiltworks, the shop was huge with rows and rows of fabric, sorry no pictures of this shop, it was getting late and I needed to hurry back to Burbank to get the Studio tour and pick hubby up from work.

Oh look you can see the reflection of the Sugar Cube, such a funny looking car but very roomy inside.

I bought this kit, love the baskets and fabrics used in this one.

The best pattern I bought was this Eiffel Tower quilt, it's just stunning. And since I had just been to France a few months ago....I really need to make this quilt. I think it's a local designer....I LOVE it!

This Fig Tree quilt is a BOM offered at the shop, isn't it just so darn cute.

I hope you enjoyed this little shop tour, I'll be back with more pictures from other quilt shops soon.
