I went to Candy's this past spring when I was visiting my daughter in Simi, and OMG, it truly is paradise. I did not want to leave. My daughter and I had my little redheaded grandson with us and he can be a real pistol. But the ladies there were so good to him. Said they wished all the little boys that came in were as good. I found quite a few good things to buy, but the best was the dragon fabric Sean found for me to make him a dragon bag with.
At the counter they had a notebook, or several, that had all kinds of free patterns for you to choose from. I thought that was pretty fun. I was good, but I wanted to just take one of each.
The place was so open and friendly, which also made it a true quilters paradise. I can not wait to go back.
