At the end of May into the beginning of June, John and I did a 4-day road trip from Colorado to New Mexico. Our final destination before heading back home was Taos, New Mexico.
We arrived on the evening of the second day of our road trip and went searching for dinner at the Taos Plaza/Downtown Taos which is where our Airbnb Hacienda studio was located (see post Channeling my inner Ansel Adams in Taos, New Mexico for some B&W images of the Hacienda where we stayed).
While looking for an open restaurant we stumbled upon this…Taos Adobe Quilting quilt shop!

But it was closed for the evening! Oh the torture! All I could do was stare into the window:

Oh I couldn’t wait until the next day to wander over there, and the next day I did:
I had a fun time chatting for a long time to the quilt shop owner’s son, who was headed out the next day on a major solo camping trip. He noticed my tote bag that said: “Libraries Build Communities” and being an avid reader himself, a lover of libraries, struck up a conversation with me while I was browsing. We ended up talking about books, fabric and life!

I didn’t go too crazy on my purchases from this lovely shop but I did get a little sampling of their Southwest fabrics and some other little remnants of artsy fabric.
Looks like a fun shop to explore – I’m putting it on my list for our next visit to New Mexico – one of our favorite places.

Love your fabric choices! Do you suppose having a quilt shop on the square could keep me away from the jewelry vendors? Ha! What about you?

Oh the jewelry! There was some beautiful stuff there in relation to jewelry! I was good on that end and only got a souvenir pin for our pin collection.
