Cherrywood Fabrics

One of my highlights from all the amazing things I did this summer...

sounds like a horror movie....

"I know what you did last summer"

LOL

This has been on my bucket list since my first entry

 to

 Cherrywood challenges in 2017

We stopped into Brainerd, Minnesota

Pulling up to a very unassuming little building 

where

 it said Cherrywood Fabrics.

I

WAS

BLOWN

AWAY!

The color was incredible.

I had to have this quilt! 

It's on my long arm right now! 

This sign was so cool

It was made by Bohin France...

the company in France that makes amazing sewing notions 

It is made with sticks of glass used to make pin heads 

and

the middle is using all pins to make the word. 

My Van Gogh and Lady Di have had the honour

 of

 going to France WITHOUT me

 to

 hang in their exhibit.

What a special gift!

 

If only Vincent and Di could talk....

Cherrywood hand dyes all their fabrics.

They are solids with a beautiful suede look and feel.

I had brought my entry for the Monarch Challenge in case we stopped 

but

Carla was not there that day so it stayed in the car! 

The quilting was incredible on their quilts.

So many shades of yummy color!

Then I was invited to see where the action happened...

OOOO EMMMM GEEEE

These pastels were just fresh and new! 

My husband had come in by this time....

He was even in awe....

This is like every quilters dream crayon box! 

Stunning displays of organized color

Little bundles of pure joy...

It was such a fabulous day! 

Check that off my list! 

Any if you are ever cruising the highways in Minnesota..

The BBQ Smokehouse in Wadena, MN

It was the best takeout smoke house we had for along time! 

As you can see....

My life revolves around great food, fabric and fun!

(insert work amongst that) 

Later....
