Las Vegas was our choice of destination this year for Spring Break mainly because it is warm and we have family living there. My boys love being with their cousins!
I love being with family as well but beside that I love going to one of my favorite quilt shops in the world… Christmas Goose!
This is my sweet sister-in-law Bonnie. She is the one
that first introduced me to this wonderful place.

Upon arriving we were greeted by my dear friend Andrea…
and her sweet mom... Jeanette...
the owner of the shop... working away on her little
Singer featherweight.

This store just screams welcome to me. I love it!
The projects and quilts… I simply adore!
They are always diplayed so cute!
This quilt the projects are on is to die for~
Little quilts... big quilts...
you find them hanging everywhere
and on everything!
I even came across some great items
made with that fun Texture Magic.
Check out this darling pattern... Snap Happy!
It 's a pattern for three small purses
made by Stitchin' Sisters.
The brown one is made with Texture Magic.
Then Andrea showed me one of my favorite things...
Little Bits ~ Diamond Log Cabin ~ by Cindy Edgerton.
but I loved it and immediately I thought...
SCRAPS!!!
I even met a few new friends... Riann, Jordan, and Lola!
so you can see why it is that I love it so much!
I am making this one!
"Christmas Goose" in
Las Vegas!
I will be back later to show you a few things that I did buy and fabric wasn't among them! How cool is that for helping control my fabric addiction!

Well, Rae Anne, That is one fabulous patchwork shop. I can see why you have it as your favourite. What a lot of lovely quilts on display, it must be like going to
an exhibition. What great control you had not buying any fabric. Hmmm, my viewers choice quilt would have to be the log cabin with the houses. Can't wait to see more.

I just love Andrea and Jeanette...and the Christmas Goose!
What a fun fun place. I've been there too. I think they always have a great selection. I can't believe you were just down there and now you have to turn around and do it again, almost.
Wow, what a neat place. I am heading to Vegas the end of the month. Will have to find the time to visit.
Oh! Thanks for the 'tour!' I love the diamond log cabin, too! Looks like a really neat place!
Wow, lots of inspiration in that shop, and good stashbusting ideas. Sew, girl, sew!
Rae Ann, do you know which pattern it is of the quilt with the white diagonal blocks in it? I am nuts about that quilt.

Dang it! I didn't go there when we were there last summer -- that won't happen again LOL!
Hi Rae Ann, what great photos and what an amazing trip you had. That is an absolutely beautiful shop. I love their samples of the Needle Necessetites. Their quilts are fabulous, there are such wonderfully talented people out there in the world (like yourself) and I for one thank you all for sharing your talents with us.
hugs Deb
That looks like my kind of quilt shop!!! Lucky you!!!
I'm kicking myself. I just took a quick trip to Las Vegas and didn't look up this store. I'll have to go next time.
I made that Halloween quilt! The embroidery went faster than I thought it would and it all came together beautifully. I have a lot of pictures on my blog if you want to see how mine turned out.
I love that diamond log cabin. I could look at it all day.
That looks like such a fun shop! The blue one really speaks to me...
This shop is my all time favorite quilt shop in the country. The fact that the Bead and Stamp store sit right next to it is a bonus.
I love the Christmas Goose also Rae Ann, it's a great shop and I've been there many times. Looks like you had a good visit.
Hi Rae Ann!!
I was lucky enough to visit the Christmas Goose last year....so thank you for taking me again!! You brought back all those lovely memories!! I have referred this shop often to friends who have traveled to Las Vegas. They come back thanking me...I say it's a given...how could you not LOVE this shop!! Thanks again!
