A long time ago (in the 1990's) I lived in Carboro, NC. I would walk on Saturday mornings, market basket on my arm to the Farmers Market in downtown. Then I would stop on my way home at Thimble Pleasures, an awesome shop owned by Julie. I took my first quilt class there and even sold some of my quilted pins. Then I moved away. :o(

Fast forward to May 1, 2011 when I am going to attend my first meeting of the Triangle Modern Quilt Guild(TMQG). Usually TMQG meets at Thimble Pleasures, now located down the road in Chapel Hill, NC. So I decided to stop and see it before going to the meeting, I was only there 20 minutes but this is what I saw...
All lines of beautiful fabric and more notions then I have seen anywhere!
I really only had time to take pictures because when I came in I noticed this lovely lady...
Karen who I realized after going back and forth for a few minutes that I knew! I used to work with her daughters in the local school system. Small world!
Keep dreaming...Colleen

Lovely story, lovely store!
I could spend hours in a quilt shop!!
I will definitely have to stop there one of these days! Thanks for the preview.
WOW, only 20 minutes - I would be lost for the day.
What a huge fabric shop. Looks like a fun place to visit.
