The Quilt Asylum

Catching up on my Fall travels....

If you are in the Dallas area, you must stop at the The Quilt Asylum in McKinney, at 153 S. Central Expressway--right off Highway 75.  Fun begins here.  Warden Susan Allen has assembled crazy, amazing collections of fabrics and samples to feed your addictions.

They feature a large selection of the Kaffe Collective, bountiful batiks, and contemporary collections from Amy Butler, Heather Bailey, Sandi Henderson, and more.  The photos below show only part of the batiks and Kaffe Collective displays.  Plus they still have room for reproductions and basics, having recently moved to a bigger store.

Bright, fresh samples are everywhere, along with crazy fun shopping displays.   They fat quarter almost all of the fabric, which I find really great for choosing projects.   If you check out the online store and newsletter, you can see all of the fabulous events they have planned.  Wish I were there.












This is just one of the bundles I bought.  They make custom rolls--20  10 1/2" x22""--perfect for many of the RoseCard designs--another reason I bonded with this store.

And I love the way they put together fabrics for their kits.  This combination of Kaffe and batiks is stunningly rich.

My meager photos here don't begin to capture the amount of eye candy.  You just have to go see for yourself!
