A visit to Birch Fabrics

I've been to two awesome fabric stores that I would like to blog about, one in my hometown and one in Los Angeles. Today I'm going to talk about my visit to Birch Fabrics in Paso. Where is Paso Robles? Paso is a cute little town halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. It's known for it's wine and boasts close to 200 different wineries. There are cute shops and amazing restaurants and, most importantly, it's the home of Birch!

When Melissa informed me that Birch was having a sale I invited myself to tag along with her for the forty five minute car ride. FYI I have no shame and totally invite myself places, especially when fabric is involved!


There were three girls working the sale. Unfortunately, the sidewalk sale landed on one of the few rainy days of the year and had to be moved inside. Despite that extra stress I thought the girls handled it well. It was pretty busy and they all provided great customer service.



If you're not familiar with the store, they carry primarily quilting cottons and even design their own line of fabric. There were even some Colette and Sewaholic patterns!

You know you have been partying too hard when you are covered in little bits of thread. I guess I shouldn't wear all black when I'm fabric shopping haha.


We finished our fabric shopping extravaganza with lunch at my favorite restaurant in town, Odyssey. We both had the artichoke and brie sandwich (YUMMMMM) and I had a cup of carrot bisque. Fabric + good food = amazing day!

Have any of you been to Birch? If I lived closer I would try and get a job there, I love it so much!
