A trip to The Hobby Horse - July Shop Hop #1

The Hobby Horse 12707 Ninth Line, Georgetown, Ontario (Canada). Tel: 905-877-9292

This store would have to be one of my favourites.  The store has been here for about 32 years.  The structure is a barn.  The front looks more like a house, but if you look closely you can see the roof of the barn behind it.


When you first walk in you get a sense of welcome into the store.  The ceiling shown below shows the tongue and groove wood with lights to shine on the numerous displays.  The store is filled with inspiration of all kinds.  Different styles of quilts to suit everyone.


The Hobby Horse also has the largest collection of hand stitch work patterns and samplers that I have seen in a quilt store.  These quilts, wall hangings or pillows add to make the place warm and inviting.


The store has a large selection on the main floor and a lot going on downstairs as well.  The picture below is only a small part of the Christmas section that they have downstairs.  You can find Christmas in July or anytime here.  Even out of season the selection is large.


Downstairs you will also find a large cubby for children's novelties, flannel, a section with quilting patterns and the classrooms too.  Definitely a place you would want to visit.
