I have a new favorite store...

Guess where Joe and I went on a getaway this past weekend?
Atlanta!
Guess where I couldn't help but go visit while I was there?
(forgive the fish-eye pics- we only had the GoPro with us!)
We walked 2.2 miles to get there (which I did not plan on!) but it was so worth it!
Whipstitch has some of the cutest and most modern fabrics I've ever seen! I love the selection and it was great to see fabric in real life that I've only been able to browse online - we don't have anything like this where I'm from!
The shop had a great pattern selection and a ton of samples sitting out! Knits and precuts were all in the front of the store along with a sitting area (it is a sewing lounge, after all!).
Oh, hi Joe!

The day that we visited, there was a class on fabric designing/printing going on back here in the classroom section! So cool!
Oh yeah, and they also had TONS OF FABRIC!
and a fat quarter HEAVEN!
I went a little nuts and spent a little more than I planned, but look at all this loot!
and yes, that is some laminate cotton that it's all sitting on. That awesome green houndstooth is now topping a tv tray that we use in the den- it's so cute and wipes clean so easily!

LOVE!

Are those electric beaters on the top fabric? That's pretty funky, but could be really cool too!

Meredith yes they are! That's going to be the front of an apron!

I'm so glad you came by and took home some delicious fabric! We were delighted to have you, and hope you'll come back and visit soon, soon, soon!
