I was in Central Oregon this past weekend for a high school reunion and visited a couple of quilt shops in Bend.  They are great shops and well worth visiting if you are in the area.  The first shop I saw was Quiltworks (www.quiltworks.com), a lovely shop with a great mezzanine where they have changing quilt exhibits.  The photo below was taken looking down at the shop from the mezzanine.

The other shop I visited was BJ’s Quilt Basket  (www.bjsquiltbasket.com) , another wonderful  shop.  BJ’s shares their space with a sewing machine dealer – a nice resource when students have machine problems during a class.  The photo below shows some of their space.

Both shops have a great selection of fabrics.  There are several other quilt shops in Bend and the neighboring towns, but I didn’t have time to visit them.  Maybe I will get back there sometime soon.
