I had my first visit to Fabric Expressions last Saturday. Though I've been working on my daughters quilt for quite awhile, this was the first actual dedicated quilt store I had been in for years. I believe I had browsed a few in Estes Park ages ago. Anyway, this little store is tucked into a two-story mini-mall, and it actually appears small from the outside, but once you enter those doors. Wow! I was blown away by the colors and multitudes of fabrics. I tell you brothers and sisters, there is a reason this fabric costs more than your average fabric store finds. These fabrics are thick! They feel like they could surely stand the tests of time! I was also in luck because they were having a sale on certain bolts for $5/yard. I bought some great reds that I think I'll use as backing fabrics for my Chimneys and Cornerstones quilt.

I also picked up additional information about this year's Rocky Mountain Quilt Shop Hop. My Mom is going to go with me and I'm so excited as they had a special fabric made for this year...I'm sure I'll buy some and be sure to post here.
I still have a few weeks to wait though for the Shop Hop! I know I can make it!
