LQS in Austin, TX
 

Hi Guys,
I am going to be visiting my DSis and her family in Austin, TX the end of
July. She doesn't sew or quilt so she is not up on where the local fabric
shops would be. Can someone point me in towards some good shops, please?
I have been to Austin several times before but this will be the first time I
have had my own car and can go where *I* want :-)! One trip will be to
Fredericksburg -- always go there as I really like the drive AND I like the
town. Does anyone know if the small fabric shop is still there? Last time I
was there (about 4 years ago) it had a load of fabrics suitable for kids. That
would be OK as I have the SMDGD to sew for now :-). As of now, I don't plan to
head towards San Antonio, but ya' never know -- LOL!
I will be in Ausstin from 29 July to 02 August and LNS and LQS shopping are
the main things on the list. My DNiece is graduating from High School and it
has been a long, hard struggle fir her -- she has been quite ill for several
years and has had to go to the alternative school. She is interested in Silk
Ribbon Embroidery and general Surface Embroidery so, as part of her graduation
gift, I will be taking her to Ginger's and the regular craft stores to stock up
on needlework supplies. As payback, she'll have to accompany me to the LQS so
maybe I can get her hooked on quilting too :-)))! Obviously, any and all
recommendations for LQS will be gratefully accepted :-)! CiaoMeow ^;;^

If you're willing to travel from Austin to Fredericksburg, you might
also want to take the trip to Kerrville and visit Creations. Nice
shop, lots of batiks--and as an added inducement to you in particular,
they have free-roaming cats. Be sure to pat Domino for me!

You've mentioned Ginger's, that's a really great shop! You also might visit
the Honey Bee Quilt Store, 10401 Anderson Mill, 512 257-1269

I have never posted here before, but I do live in Austin. I would recommend:

The Quilt Store http://www.quiltstore.com/ This is by far the largest quilt
store in town.

Honey Bee Quilt Store http://www.honeybeequiltstore.com/HTML/home.php

There is also a small quilt store in downtown Round Rock (which is just
north of Austin) called Mini Stitches. It's very cute and is in an old
house. The address is 208 W. Bagdad Ave. #7 Round Rock, TX 78664 phone (512)
255-8545

Have fun!
