A visit to Mama's Quilt Shop

Mama's Quilt Shop is a cute shop in Independence La. You drive down a one lane road and come to a peaceful place with beautiful Live Oak trees in the front and an old fish pond in the back. The shop has a great assortment of up-to-date quality fabrics, a great sale room, and a really nice size classroom. The owner was absolutely wonderful and guided us with our fabric choices.

I found this black and white in the sale room for $5/yd. I'm currently doing a black and white quilt and needed to replenish my stash. I just bought what was left on the bolts... I believe there's about 6 yards total here.


They also had this Faux Leather and a tote on display that I fell in love with... so of course I had to get me some to make the tote.


  The Tote.


They had many of their kits on sale and I thought they were reasonably priced to begin with. This blue and white fabric was put together for a Snail's Trial quilt design. Blue and White is so crisp looking to me.

Then I found this pink and green for a Card Trick quilt. These are not really my colors, but I'm trying to come out of my box some and explore more.

So if you're ever near Baton Rouge or New Orleans...take a nice country drive and visit this shop. Southern hospitality is plentiful.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Quilting! Happy Living!
