When my sister was visiting we spent a day just going to all the quilt shops that were within a hour of Savannah. Our adventure brought us to 6 quilt shops and another one I visited yesterday making a total of 7 shops to venture to. Most of the shops were small and not worth taking pictures of except one Sew Much More. So I will give you a little tour of the shops.
Cross Stitch Junction
33 Office Park Road
Hilton Head, SC
Cute on the inside but not much supply. Love the window so colorful.
Creative Stitches
60B Robert Smalls Pkwy
Beaufort, SC
Not very inviting and not much on inside but we did run in to the shop owner of Sew Much More while we were here and got the address since we couldn't find it on the web so that was cool!
Granny's
1108 Argent Blvd.
Ridgeland, SC
This one was hard to find and we didn't give up until we had found it but when we did talk to the person working that day she said the one we were origanlly looking for Grannies Attic had closed this one just happened to have the name Granny's so the other shop owners we had been to assumed this was the one we were looking for. I was a little disapointed because Grannies Attic had thimbleberries and none of the other shops carried her line. :( This was small but did have some fabric lines to choose from.
Colonial Quilts
11710 Largo Drive
Savannah, GA
I found this one small also but did have some neat things to look at.
The Guild
1109 E Hwy 80
Pooler, GA
This one was small too and really not much supply of any one craft.
Fabrika
140 Abercorn St.
Savannah, GA
This was the one I went to yesterday with my hubby (he had the day off) by far was the smallest I had ever been in with no selection at all and no personality. I would not visit again.
Sew Much More
4831 A Augusta Rd.
Garden City, GA
This one was the JACKPOT of them all and would visit again and again. Lots to look at, with a nice selection of fabrics and offers plenty of classes. The owner said she wanted to make it with plenty of things to look at while shoping and she did that. Plenty of samples done up to and so pretty.
This quilt was hung up in the back of the classroom and one of my favorites!! The front has mini scences with each block telling a story in pictures and the back explains the front with real photos of the people who are in the story. So Cool!! It is the history of that person's family so she made two quilts and put them together to create this one masterpiece. I can't imagine how many hours she spent on this! Just beautiful.
So if you are in the neighborhood here are a few shops you can visit and make sure you have enough time to stop at Sew Much More!
