San Diego trip 2015

Oct 1 & 2 2015

Mom and I drove to San Diego for Petro.  On the way down we stopped at:

1. Annie's Quilting Den; 1876West El Norte Pkway in Escondido.  Small shop.  Bright fabrics but very very pricey!  Had a long arm and that took up most of the floor space.
2. Grand Country Quilter; 801 Grand Ave in San Marcos.  A bit hard to find.  Thimbleberry type of fabrics.  
3. Quilt in a Day; 1955 Diamond St in San Marcos.  Large store.  Lots of $6/yard fabric like at the shows but hard to see them in the back warehouse space.  Large selection of gadgets.  Good place to go if you have a specific pattern to buy for.

The next day we went to:

1.  Cozy Quilt Shop at 756 Jamacha Road in El Cajon.  HUGE store but lots of open space.  Sells sewing machines too.  They happen to be having one of their two annual sales.  Non-sale prices are the norm.  Got almost a full bolt of Timeless Treasure for two quilt backs at $5.60 yard.  Mom got kit at 50% off.  
2. Memory Lane Quilt Shop on 1626 N Magnolia Ave in El Cajon.  Very nice store.  Lots of Absolutely Positively Quilt Designs patterns and many made into kits.  Fabric prices reasonable.  Large store and helpful.  If you spend $250 you get $25 off next purchase but plan to spend then as there is a time limit of a couple of months.  Mom got two kits here.
3. Rosie's Calico Cupboard at 7151 El Cajon Blvd in San Diego.  AWESOME.  Very large store with tons and tons of fabric.  Very reasonable prices.
