Changing Tides

Humongous selection of fabrics, plus all sorts of other fun stuff from earrings to unusual art cards, needlepoint materials and a whole lot more. Sometimes Jan has «stuff a bag for $ 5,» even has free scrap piles drone to time.

One of the pleasures of a trip, for me, is to visit a new quilt store. In fact the more quilt stores the better!
I had searched quilt stores on Unilocal and this had not shown up. What? I am here to rectify that wrong.
Our ship stopped in Juneau and we had a wonderful visit to Mendenhall Glacier, then lunch. I recommend you do these same things as well.
What I don’t recommend you then do is meander down the street, looking at this touristy t-​shirt shop or that fudge joint. NO! We did that and it was a huge mistake.
What we should have done is run down the street, or at least walk briskly for heaven’s sake, to Changing Tides. We were taking our time and suddenly I spotted the promised land, a quilt store. I told my husband to sit and relax on the first floor, I was going to the second.
He shouted after me, we only have 20 minutes. 20 minutes is all? I tried to see it all and make some decisions when I started getting texts from my hubby. I ignored them, of course.
But I started grabbing stuff to buy and was just paying when he came up to drag me down. Something about not missing our ship, being stranded, I don’t know.
I wish I had had two more hours here. It’s a spectacular quilt store.
In the name of all that is holy, allow yourself at least an hour or you’ll be sitting at home bitterly writing a review.
Or wait, maybe that’s me?
