I loved their designs and style. Since becoming a quilter, it's even more fun to visit as I get more out of what I'm seeing than before because I know more about design, technique, and color.

When you return, you might want to visit Quilts Ole (that's oh-lay) in Corrales, which is also an incredibly bright shop!Dora, the Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043451474748191494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-25214548193270312642011-11-11T22:10:22.180-05:002011-11-11T22:10:22.180-05:00My husband and I stopped there a few years ago on ...My husband and I stopped there a few years ago on our trip out west.

All the Albuquerque quilt shops have some southwestern themed fabric & patterns, but none of the others have nearly as much as Southwest Decoratives.<br /><br />I hated the peachy pale Southwestern look the decorating industry invented in the 90s. It did not at all remind me of the Albuquerque I grew up in and hope to move back to someday.SusanBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11799662324337358683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-37901798842050748152011-11-10T12:04:29.639-05:002011-11-10T12:04:29.639-05:00This is one of my favorite shops and where I got m...This is one of my favorite shops and where I got most of the fabrics for an Our Lady of Guadalupe quilt. <br /><br />All the bright fabrics make my mind zoom with possibilities.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06057947365589446443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-16000457814340168662011-11-10T11:48:47.032-05:002011-11-10T11:48:47.032-05:00BREATH TAKING!

Even went last year on Halloween (dressed in costume) for their annual costume event. Check out their website for pics. Have their Ave Maria kit and a couple of the J Michelle Watts Navajo sampler kits waiting for me to do. Quilts Ole in Corrales is also a neat shop if you are ever in the area again. Also, if you are a knitter Village Wools is right behind SW Decorative on the next street over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-19954514656223449612011-11-10T08:49:39.695-05:002011-11-10T08:49:39.695-05:00Oh, Bonnie, thank you so much for this post.

I shopped on line and received the most beautiful fabric, I was so impressed. Now you have given me the chance to "visit" this shop. I am more determined than ever to make that trip to NM and visit this place in person.
