Quilt shops in LasVegas

After a wonderful week on Maui, Ron and I had made arrangements to do a stopover in Vegas for a couple of days.  We arrived late and slept in.  The coming home from the islands takes its toll with the time changes you go through.  This stopover helped a lot.
Ron had found out where the greatest quilt shops were.
So after a great lunch, we were on the road.
 
 
Out first stop was Fabric Boutique.  Come to find out, the shops had just finished a shop hop on Sunday.  This was Monday.  Who knew!  Gerry, was kind enough to give me a map of the shops that were on the hop, and general directions on how to get to them.  All were in strip malls.
This was a huge shop and had a little bit of everything. I did get some LesVegas fabric.  There were lots of models and patterns.  They did long-arm quilting in the back part of the shop.  It was very well lighted. Gerry, the owner was so helpful and even told us about a place to eat when we got to our last shop of the day.

Christmas Goose was the next on the list. It was a tad hard getting into the Christmas spirit, as it was 76 degrees. What a fun shop this one was.

She had several cute and new patterns for Christmas on display right in the front.  Don't you love the "Joy", another twister pattern.

How about this adorable wreath and the cute Christmas stockings?
I picked up a couple of patterns, this being one of them.

Have you ever seen a cell tower made to look like a coconut palm?
We had a great laugh about this.

Quiltique, was the last one for this day.  Another huge shop.  They also sold sewing machines and lots of fabric.  This was a busy shop.

There was a lot of fabric lines here I have never seen, and lots of fabric in general. 
All the shops were fun to visit. Every pattern and fabric line is so inviting, you want to take some of each home.
Looks like I could be doing a lot of sewing when I get home.
Have a great day.

I went to Las Vegas many years ago and went to a shop - maybe the first one you showed. I remember buying a kit for a Turning Twenty quilt - made it too. :) blessings, marlene
