There's also Back Porch Fabrics in Pacific Grove which borders on Monterey. Lots of good stuff. Have a great time going up our beautiful California coast!

there is a great shop in Ventura, on your way to Santa Barbara. It's called Quilt Ventura. It's very easy to find. Have a wonderful time in CA. We live in San Diego & love it! Have traveled up & down the coast many, many times....never tire of it!

There is a nice little shop in Morro Bay called The Cotton Ball and another one in the next little town of Cayugas but don't know the name of it but the people in Morro Bay will know. The latter one has lots and lots of batiks and seashore fabric.
Judy in AZ who will be visiting there in Oct.

You might want to visit the Quilt In A Day shop, which is in San Marcos, south of LA. I haven't actually been to that one, but I've been to the KY store. Feels a little odd mentioning the competition, but I doubt Alex and Ricky would mind. After all, they don't have shops! NA in NY

Hello Everyone,

Claire would like your help finding quilt shops for an upcoming trip to California:

I am a British quilter and travelling to California for a three week trip with my husband at the end of April. We are hiring a car and touring around starting in Los Angeles, travelling by the coast to Santa Barbara, Monterey, San Jose and San Francisco, then into the Sonoma Valley and back inland to Yosemite and Death Valley.
Although we will mainly be doing the touristy things(husband's patience is limited), I wonder if anyone can advise me on any quilt shops, or museums and galleries displaying quilts? We are planning to go to the textile museum in San Jose. I am interested in shops which sells home dyed fabric or has a large selection of rulers, book etc.

Thanks for helping her.

Lilo
