I found a quilt shop in Taos (where the assistant wasn't very friendly) and a linen shop where the assistant was very helpful. I bought fat quarters of native American designs, three pieces of flax in lovely colors and some linen for a top I intended to hand stitch since the weather was much hotter than I'm used to, but in the end I survived with the clothes I took with me. I was tempted by gorgeous hand dyed silk ribbons but decided not to invest in them this trip.
I also found a good quilt shop in Santa Fe and bought a range of fabrics in oranges, purples, deep blues and yellows; the colors of a fabulous sunset. And I took a photo of a very interesting wall hanging that I plan to adapt. For some reason I also bought the circular foot for my Janome...probably because the shop owner showed me a wonderful silk jacket with scallops embroidered using this tool - how hard can it be?
