As I promised a new quilt shop review.
The Common Threads Quilt Shop has been in Alexandria MN for many years… well, I’ve been visiting for 12 years at least.
They have now shifted to the small town of Garfield, pop 200, it’s just the next suburb on from the city of Alex.

You know when you walk into a shop whether you feel comfortable or not…

The common threads Quilt Shop is just one of those shops. It’s  bright, light, and full of the most interesting fabrics. It appears that they specialize in vintage reproductions, and they also have a thimble berries club. I like the fact that there are small shelves holding fat quarters under the bolts of fabric.

It’s a great shop to visit, the staff are welcoming and do all they can to help you choose the best fabric for your project.
