Modern Monday Quilt Along will have to wait this week. I have lots to tell you about the Heart of Winter Bus Tour. Above is the bus that arrived at the Attic Window Quilt Shop at 8 a.m. Saturday morning. You’re probably thinking, so what?
Our first stop was Around The Block Quilt Shop in Portland, MI. This is a darling shop loaded with lots of samples and fabrics. Above is a picture of the pattern that was given to each member on the tour. An inexpensive kit was also available.
These are just a few of the many lovely samples around the shop.
This particularly interested me. Isn’t this a cute little leaf dish? The shop owner showed us how to use Inn-Spire to shape fabric. Inn-Spire is a revolutionary, stiff, non-woven moldable that can be covered with fabric and molded into the design of your choice – bowls, boxes, totes, containers, vases, etc.
I’ve been on the lookout for bright stripes for a special project I’m working on. I couldn’t resist and bought these. I love them!
Around the Block Quilt Shop is a superb shop and I would recommend that if you are ever in this part of the state, stop for a visit.
Come back tomorrow and see what we enjoyed on our next stop.

Stay Calm! Stay Kind! Stay Positive!
