Now here's something you don't see everyday...
 
In my daily surfing of craigslist ads, I came upon this one

mobile quilt shop, interesting concept

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 08-12-2013 05:48 PM

That is different. I suppose it would be a great investment for some of the vendors that travel to quilt shows.

Tartan 08-12-2013 05:49 PM

​Oh my! Your own personal quilt shop!

tessagin 08-12-2013 05:52 PM

Wow have never seen anything like this. But for the avid quilt shop that travels the shows on a regular basis, could be a gold mine.

That mobile quilt shop should come to Staten Island NY and make my day

RV Quilter 08-12-2013 08:43 PM

I could put that behind the motorhome on our site and have a quilting studio.....hmmmmm

quiltingcandy 08-12-2013 09:02 PM

Wow - that is quite a concept! And for those traveling to shows it would be a nice star up maybe for someone. Wonder what they are asking for it.

Neat idea! A couple of years ago, a couple came through here with a bus loaded with quilting fabrics and notions. They had just started their business. We have quilt shows here in the winter, so maybe I'll see them again.

Debbie C 08-13-2013 03:42 AM

I wonder how much? Didn't see a price....

dd 08-13-2013 04:05 AM

I was thinking for more rural areas, like where I live. I takes 1/2 hr to get to a store. This would be nice to set up in a parking lot once a week and travel to different small town around the area. different area each day.

Now, if I saw that coming down my street I would know I had died and gone to heaven!

Seaside gal 08-13-2013 05:02 AM

Even better than the bookmobile. :)

meanmom 08-13-2013 05:03 AM

Oh I need it. The ultimate stash!

Misty's Mom 08-13-2013 05:26 AM

What a great idea!

sweetpea 08-13-2013 05:59 AM

We could follow the Ice Cream turck. HA HA
boy didn't I wish for something like this with all the "old engine show" my men good to I would not have to hope they don't talk ALL DAY.

jitkaau 08-13-2013 06:06 AM

The closest thing we had was a " General Store" that was a bus. He used to carry a few bolts and notions at the back of the bus. Another guy brings a bus load up from the coast and sets up in the church hall twice a year - so that is good too. It's good to see these innovative people. When I lived in Yorkshire, England, there was a mobile cafe which was good.

I wonder if the fabric is stored in that trailer. If so, it could be musty or even worse. Strange idea for fabric storage...

It's a FAB_Mobile!!!

Caswews 08-13-2013 07:53 AM

very unique for sure !

jbj137 08-13-2013 10:08 AM

All I can say is, "W*O*W".

seasaw2mch 08-13-2013 10:52 AM

I remember someone posting about a trail they had as a sewing room that got stolen out of their driveway with everything in it. The poor women was so heart broken over it. I think it was posted over a year ago. Makes you sort of wander just how many people really do this sort of thing, is it that safe to have or if this is the one that got stolen?

That's what I was thinking too.

The guy wants 9000 for the whole lot.

ljptexas 08-14-2013 12:56 AM

Wow! Never seen anything like that before! I would be a booming business to travel to small towns, where folks have to travel a distance to purchase....

judi wess 08-14-2013 03:39 AM

What a good idea, I would love to see more of this.

My husbands work had a trailer stolen with all the mowing equipment on it. Zero turn, push mowers, weed eaters, leaf blowers, gas cans, the works. Someone was ready to start their own business with that trailer. You would think if it was reported stolen, police would look on CL.

BettyGee 08-14-2013 07:20 AM

Wow, that is cool. No price shown, bet it is a bunch. Thanks for sharing, it was fun.

caspharm 08-14-2013 11:53 AM

Definitely interesting! Going back to the traveling peddlers.

tenngal 08-14-2013 02:00 PM

Wow, great idea! Wonder how much that would cost?

donna13350 08-14-2013 03:46 PM

We had a guy and his wife in this area that had an old school bus converted into a mobile quilt shop...I couldn't believe the amount of stuff her packed into that bus! I suspect the cost of gas is why I haven't seen him in a long while. They used to travel to quilt guild meetings, sometimes set up in church parking lots, and sometimes at the farmers markets.

Unique... Have you seen the trolley quilt store?
