This is another of the quilt shops I visited while in Bakersfield, California, called Quilters Haven. Of the three I visited today, this is the only place where I didn't purchase anything. People seemed friendly enough, but there was nothing remarkable about their shop. This is what it looks like from the outside:
There was a class going on, with lots of participants. I was eves dropping on what the instructor was saying, and people seemed very comfortable. I can imagine it's a place people enjoy going for classes. My only criticism of the place is that it didn't have a lot of character. I love quilt shops because of their color and their homeyness, and this one just didn't do it for me. For that reason, and that reason alone, I can only give it four rotary cutters out of five. If I were just looking for a place to hang out, I'd probably stick with Strawberry Patches in Bakersfield.

Oh my goodness. You were just down the street and around the corner from my house!! I have not heard many good things about Quilter's Haven lately, especially in the attitude of the owner (not helpful, rude, etc). I would most definitely stick to Strawberry Patches. There is another shop on Rosedale Hwy that I haven't been to as of yet.
