I was looking for some jeans needles when I happened upon this quilting store called The Cotton Patch in downtown Lafayette next to Artisan Bistro. Now, I’m no expert when it comes to quilting but when I stepped inside I was amazed at how cool this place is. They have all kinds of sewing machines, fabrics and even offer classes across the street. They will have a Beginning Quilting class on March 4th. If you have any interest in quilting you have to check this store out. And they have been open for 35 years!
From their website:
The Cotton Patch is a one-stop destination quilting shop in Lafayette, California. It was opened in 1978, which makes it one of the oldest quilt shops in the country. The continued success is due to the large selection of everything needed to make quilts of any type.
The shop houses over 4,000 bolts of fabric. There is a large selection of solids, blenders, batiks, black & whites, as well as the latest lines. Books are another specialty of The Cotton Patch. There are hundreds of titles, from the latest to the out of print.
