A little shopping...

I have always wanted to stop at JEllen's House of Fabrics on Mayfield Road in Cleveland.  I have driven past it several times but never when I could stop.  I finally got the chance to go in and it did not disappoint!  Oh my goodness...when you walk in the door you can hardly move because of how beautiful the displays are.  You just stop and take it in.  The fabric is all quality quilting fabric from manufacturers like Moda and Michael Miller, organized in collections, and only light and bright and modern collections like Flora or California Girl.  There are all kinds of notions, buttons, and patterns...things you would expect in a boutique.  Plus there is a large selection of Bella solids and Moda Marbles and other basics.  And the prices...well, you have to see it to believe it.  I visited for two hours and did a little damage to our credit card account.
Collections like this...

Checks and Stripes
Polka Dots Galore
No, the owner is not a relative or even an acquaintance!  LOL!  She's friendly and helpful, and she has a very sweet daughter.  It's worth a trip to stop there.

:o)

What wonderful finds. I am glad you finally got into the store. Now you can go back! I love it when quilt shops arrange their fabric lines together. Makes it easier for us to pick fabric.

I read her blog, too, and often wondered what it would be like to see it. Sounds great. I think I would have walked out with a similar selection to you! Great choices.
Hope you get to go back many times.
I just wish she did internet sales.

I have been enjoying exploring new fabric shops the last few days, too. Isn't it fun to find wonderful places like this?

Sounds like "quilter's heaven". Isn't it great when a place you've been looking forward to doesn't disappoint? You had some great fabrics follow you home. Love those dots!
