Super Buzzy

I finally took the time to drive 50 miles north to Ventura to visit Super Buzzy. A wonderful modern quilt shop.P1140948How can one resist entering a store with such an adorable bee outside.

Inside was even more fun. There is a lot to learn about a shop just by looking at the quilts on displayIMG_5099Good use of solids, as well as rainbow and neutral grey.IMG_5100I like the combination of solids and low volumn prints. I’ve been studying this for a few minutes trying to see if there is one block, or a random setting of basic shapes. Either way, I really like it.IMG_5102Now for something completely different. A scrappy Dresden Plate.  I think I’d like a pattern for this one. I certainly have plenty of scraps.IMG_5101Another color wheel, although not one I’d use as a tool.

And yarn! They have yarn.P1140949I couldn’t get over the adorableness of this Japanese cotton.P1140950In true origami tradition, this isn’t just  a cupcake holder for the yarn, the label band is secured in the middle of the ball. I was sorely tempted, but really what would I do with it other than just look at it?  I’m not really into knitting with cotton.

Yes, I bought fabric, but that and the project it’s going into will be for another post.
