Fabulous area for quilt shopping and sightseeing!
There is a quilt shop inside Pike Place Market in downtown Seattle called Undercover Quilts. It's been awhile since I was there, but I remember a large variety of batiks and ocean theme fabrics. There is also wall displays of over 600 vintage sewing machines at the All Saints!
Anacortes has two quilt shops in the downtown area. One is so crammed full of fabric, it is hard to find anything and yet it is still fun to visit. The two quilt shops are called In Stitches and Fabric Plus.
Since you are going to Anacortes, stop by La Connor and visit the Pacific Northwest Quilt and Fiber Arts Museum in the 1870s Gaches Mansion. You can check their website to see the current artist's display. La Connor is a quaint little town with a good variety of places to eat. Our favorite is the Calico Cupboard Cafe and Bakery.
