Yes! I was there because I was staying overnight with a woman who was doing an incredible "spirit" quilt (mixing northern elements with human aspects). I was so impressed that I went into the quilt store where the owner? talked to me about quilting, which I was becoming intriqued with. I bought a book of baby quilting, read it many times but used it as a springboard of inspirations.

There is also an awesome shop on a back street in the town of Kenai (I think all the streets there are "back streets." We go up rather regularly (our son lives there) and I always am amazed anew at that quilt shop. Near the airport. Looks like a windowed barn. Great helpers inside (which includes the clerks and the other shoppers). Also, lots of Alaskan and NW native design patterns.
