Roxanne’s Quilt Shop in Carpenteria, California is filled to the brim with colorful, quirky, to-die-for fabrics, yarns, threads and painted Featherweight sewing machines. I spent quite a bit of time looking at everything they had, including this banner which greets you as you are in the shop: Live the Creative Life. Can I just move in here for about a year or two? 
Main fabric room, with a clever roof-line on the back wall behind the cutting table.
They are renowned for their cutting table. Detail shots, next two.
The Kaffe Fasset corner is currently anchored by this bright quilt, made of triangles. Info, next.
Cute displays everywhere, including their collection of repainted Featherweights.
Three of us brought home signs made of strips of license plates. I won’t make you guess whose is whose.
Out front is an old-fashioned sign, so of course, I made everyone pose. After you stagger out of there with your bags and bags of goodies, you’ll see some more of Carpinteria’s fun quirkiness:
Mary says John Wayne, on the middle upstairs balcony, has been there like “forever.” I’d like to be here, too!

What a wonderful shop Elizabeth! That counter reminds me a Gaudi! But where are your purchases? Surely you bought some ‘goodies’?
Well that’s a striking quilt shop! Someone has some business acumen to think up all the extras that make it special – that mosaic cutting counter, the “pose here” sign in the front. And the quirkiness of the exterior! You all made a special memory visiting that place! Hope you have some fabric as keepsakes too!
What a marvelous shop. Wish they had one like that closer to where I am. Those bright beautiful fabrics are just wonderful. I am definitely making a trip there next time I am in the area. Thanks for sending photos.
I applaud their banner–they picked the perfect phrase. Looks like a fun place to hang out. I also have one of those license plates–maybe made by the same person. Looks like a super fun excursion
I’m off to there again today? Did you forget anything? Lol
I always enjoy your shop tours. Love love their counter and of course any shop with Kaffe is a winner in my book. I also didn’t know you sported such a defined 6 pack. hehe
OMG. I don’t have anything to say except “I WANT.” Great tour. Thanks.
Wow! What an amazing place! I’d like to live there too 🙂
This would be worth a stop even for a non-quilter. I LOVE that red polka dot machine at the end of the post, and those are mighty fine mermaids and mermen to finish things off!
Wow, what a beautiful, colorful, inspiring place! This is going on my to-do list! 🙂 Love those bright walls and the Kaffe corner. They’ll probably have to throw me out though…
