Last week while I was in Asheville, NC and Cillian was busy running the Shut-In Trail (a 17-mile run over Mt. Pisgah with 5000 feet of elevation climb!) I opted to take it easy and visit the Asheville Cotton Co. This is a great little cloth store just outside of downtown Asheville, NC. Not only will you be inspired by the beautiful mountains and natural beauty of Asheville, but the fabric in the store is bright and fun, and definitely inspirational! This is not like so many other fabric stores in the south that is stocked full of restoration prints or civil-war fabrics in dull browns and mauves. Instead, it is full of bright fun prints - the perfect stop if you are planning a baby or kid's quilt.
The ladies working at the Asheville Cotton Co. the afternoon I visited were so helpful and friendly. They also had a sale table with great fabric at 50-70% off! I picked up a few bright colored fabrics that I think will be good additions to my stash.
Looking forward to seeing your new finds! I'm thinking about placing a Hancock's order to get a bunch of their sale batiks, if you'd like to join me to get free shipping! Did I ever pay you for the fabric swatch cards?
