Those of you living in the Palm Desert area—or those of you visiting this beautiful desert area—have a great quilt shop in your midst: Quilters’ Faire. This quilt shop has an open airy feeling with its high windows and ceilings. The store is well laid out, so there is room to walk around to see the wonderful fabrics and other products.  There are lots of beautiful fabrics everywhere and the high walls lend themselves to being adorned with many quilts. We really loved this store when we visited it. Besides having irresistible, luscious fabrics, we found the staff knowledgeable and enthusiastically helpful. This friendly shop felt like a true quilting boutique.

Currently as you walk into the store, you will see two JWD Publishing flower quilts by Mary Hoover and Barbara Persing: Cone Flower Garden and Autumn’s Arrivals (featuring sunflowers).

Debby, the owner of Quilters’ Faire, will be heading to the Long Beach International Quilt Festival on July 29-31. She will be featuring three of our quilts: Summer Blooms (Mary Hoover, Barb Persing), Popsicle Treats (Alex Anderson), and Northern Lights (Joen Wolfrom). For those of you who like kits, Debby has kitted both Northern Lights and Popsicle Treats. Patterns for all of these quilts are available at Quilter’s Faire.

Quilters’ Faire is located at one end of a relatively new industrial park. It’s address is 34500 Gateway Drive,   Suite 110, Palm Desert, Ca 92211 (telephone 760-328-8737). If you need directions, feel free to call them. Their website is www.quiltersfaire.com . They are closed on Mondays.

JWD Publishing is sending nearly a dozen of Alex’s quilts to this event, so that you can see Alex’s fun-filled quilts up close and personal. This showing will include Welcome Home, Cherry Delight, Holiday Lights, Popsicle Treat, Honey Bears,  Star Celebration, Star Flowers, Baskets & Blossoms, Spring Fling, and Bubblegum Dreams. Patterns will be available for all of her trunk-show quilts.

This event is sponsored by Bernina, Sew Original, Lee Sewing, and Sew Much Fun.
