New to me quilt shop that is. I hadn’t really intended to stop at a quilt shop while here in Wisconsin but Mike and I were taking a drive the other day while the family was busy with work and school and drove though the town of Belleville and just happened on. I wondered inside for a look and ended up buying a book – no fabric I didn’t see any on sale. It was a cute shop and had lots of antique sewing machines around although I didn’t get a photo of them. The store is called “Patches and Petals”(the Quilters General Store”) they are also on line so I will need to check them out some more.
One area of fabric – the big room is kind of divided a little into separate areas of “types” of fabric.
The bathroom was decorated in Halloween theme – have never seen one quite so decked out before! And very large.
The little black things on the sink and also some on the floor are plastic black beetles – creepy 
I don’t know about you but I love free patterns – here is one for this design that I saw on pinterest – go to RJR Fabrics to see a lot more – wonderful site for sure!! This quilt would be a great one for using up scraps – all free patterns are pdf files so you will need a printer to print them out.
My purchase for the day – another Schnibbles book – I love Carrie Nelson’s books and they are some of the few books that I use more than one pattern – so they do get used and always worth the price!
Don’t forget about the Craftsy‘s stash sale – the right time to buy fabric.

Did you know that Carrie lives in the Phoenix Metro, and we chat back and forth every once in a while? We were in the same Bee last year too.(but she dropped out because she is so busy) I love everything she designs. In fact, I just purchased one of her templates on the Shop Hop.
Always fun to browse a new quilt store. Never know what you might find!
I’ve read about these Schnibbles patterns on a couple of blogs now. What exactly is a schnibble, or what makes a quilt a schnibble quilt? Is it a technique, a new precut shape that is being used, or something else? I am always the last one to find out about these things!
I always love finding a new (to me) quilt shop. Even if I don’t buy anything, I love strolling through and being inspired by their displays … and just the fabrics on the shelves! 😉
