Beauty is in the Eye of the beholder
A solid cement warehouse is not the most esthetically pleasing structure.
It's contents are.
A solid cement warehouse is not the most esthetically pleasing structure.A trip down memory lane : My family moved to Reno NV in 1971 as I was migrating to Australia. The first visit to my parents new home found me craving fabric for a quilt.
Early one morning my Dad arrived outside this bunker of a building.
The inside is as I remember it from 1973.I shopped till I dropped that day and returned to OZ with enough fabric for 2 quilts.
One for me and
One for Mom and Dad
The third full size quilt I made.
No rotary cutters or grid rulers in those days.
My wonderful brother holding my purchases .
Making my purchases...more about them later.
I am packed and and ready to start on my homeward journey.
Thank you all dear friends for your support over the past 5 weeks. Next post from Sydney Australia. Terry

What a place Terry...Have a safe journey back...Dzintra♥x
That quilt is gorgeous! Your color sense is great...I'm jealous, lol!
Places like that are so cool. You can get lost in there for hours I bet.
It is really a good post down memory lane. Glad it's still as it was for you. Hope one of the purchase is for FW challenge quilt? Travel back home safely.
Hugs
