They had tons of merchandise and they also had set up stations to demonstrate different machines and notions. I appreciated that part. Again, the store was absolutely mobbed because of the quilt show. They too had provided free bottled water, which was very much appreciated. I ended up picking up a few fat quarters because the cutting table lines were so long. Also, the lines at the registers were disappointingly long. I discovered that you can move to a shorter line by using cash or check. Debit and credit cards require a telephone line, and so they are limited to certain parts of the store.
I would definitely like to visit this shop again when they aren't so busy. I would give it four rotary cutters out of five, again for its location in a strip mall. I really dislike strip malls for the way they cause a small town like Bend to be built long and thin to accommodate these "strips." There are a lot of these in Bend, however, and so I can't blame the quilt shop for locating themselves in one. Aside from that it seemed like a fun shop to visit on a quilt outing with lots of fabric, notions, patterns, and books, all laid out in a way that made browsing enjoyable.
