Good afternoon, my friends. I'm writing to you from Fairbanks, Alaska, this afternoon. I'll tell you about today's drive in tomorrow's post. For now, I want to tell you about the quilt shop in Delta Junction. I was surprised to find a quilt shop in such a small town. Apparently the long dark and cold winters encourage quilting.
You can see it a little better in the image below.
I really liked this sewing box. If I didn't already have one, I might have bought this.
The designer, Lisa Moore, is an Alaska quilter who resides in Sitka. You can see more of her patterns and read more about her right here.
And since this was my first quilt shop in Alaska, I decided on this fabric for my Shop Hop quilt.
If you're keeping track of the Shop Hop quilt fabrics, that's three fabrics down, three to go.
As I mentioned, there are at least two quilt shops in Fairbanks. I opted not to visit today because of the protests going on in downtown Fairbanks. The protests look small and peaceful, but I'd still just as soon not get in the middle of that in an unknown city. Instead, I'll visit one in Talkeetna, which will be our destination in about six days. And I'm confident there are plenty of quilt shops down the road. As you might have noticed, I've had no problem finding quilt shops on this trip.
Okay, so that's all I have for you today. Just now I have some desserts baking in the oven. Better go check on those. More about that tomorrow.

I enjoyed the quilt shop in Talkeetna almost 2 years ago. I'm glad you are doing well on your trip!
That is a pretty panel, and that quilt pattern will work well!
I like the Alaska print you found
Dorothy in W WA
Looks like a great quilt shop! I was hoping you would get that panel! The third picture with panels on the back wall was dizzying, I would want sooo many of them 😻You have great restraint!
Happy Father's day , Mike. Enjoy the day on your 50-50 trip. Don't do any un-fun stuff.
I struggle with panels too, but that one is really pretty. You picked a fun shop hop fabric.
oooh - I love that panel! I know it would have come home with me too.
