Day 4 we headed down to Arizona and hit 4 shops:
  • JonAli in Lake Havasu City, AZ-This was a fun shop. We talked to the owner a little and she is also from MN, so it was fun to chat with her a little. They are featured in this month’s Quilt Sampler along with the shop that’s only a half mile from my house.
  • A Material Obsession in Lake Havasu City, AZ-This shop was a decent size with lots of patterns.
  • Fabrics Unlimited in Fort Mohave, AZ-This shop wasn’t huge, but all of their books were 25% off. This meant that the newest version of the Quilter’s Travel Companion had to come home with me. Once I got home, I had the binding cut off and got it 3 hole punched and put it in a binder with all my other quilt shop info.
  • Connie’s Quilter’s Hide-a-way in Kingman, AZ-This was a smaller shop with a lot of selection. It’s right off of Route 66, so there was a lot of Route 66 novelty fabric which was fun.



Day 5 was our last day and we had one more shop to get to in Henderson, NV. Well. We were sooooo glad that we made Quiltique our last shop or we would have had a tough time having fun at the other shops. This shop was amazing! It’s huge! We had to walk through twice to make sure we got to everything. They have a huge selection of fabrics and precuts. They even had the Moda scrap bags which we’ve never seen at a shop before. Everything is so well organized. They had lots of kits that were reasonably priced as well. This shop is definitely a “must see” shop if you’re ever in the Las Vegas area.

In all, we ended up traveling 1,200 miles and visited 18 shops. It was such a fun trip and now we need to find a new area to explore. Please let me know if you have any questions about the trip!
