Bonnie invited me to one of the Quilt classes she hosts in her shop. I did not know what to expect, showing up to a group of 11 women sitting around some tables proved to be a great and enjoyable time. It was more than just talking about fabrics and sewing. Lots of laughs to say the least!! For those who were present could confirm the topics were widespread! Even though today all women were present, Bonnie stated a fair number of men go through those doors who shop and sew as well. These women were from Shelby, Cut Bank, Valier, and even Great Falls. While listening I learned Bonnie has been in business for 28 years, with 18 of those years at the current location. Her shop used to be a car dealership at one point, and a dry cleaning shop as well. Another interesting thing I learned, while a lot of these quilts these ladies make, go to family members as gifts or what not, many also go to various organizations to help those causes as well. Quilts of Valor, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, many places that help children or families in need to just name a few. I did get to see a sample of finished Quilts these ladies made, as they had show and tell time during the class. Impressive!! If any time you're in need with anything to do with sewing or fabric, or bags, purses, clocks and much much more, make sure to stop in to see what Bonnie has to offer. It's a cool small town locally owned shop.
