Many years ago there was a great little shop in an abandoned gas station just outside of Maryville, TN called Pappy's. If you stopped by Pappy's booth at the Mountain Quiltfest in Pigeon Forge, he'd give you a 20% off coupon good at the store on his already great prices. The coupon was good for several days after the show so it was convenient for us Nashvillians to stop on our way home!
Well, Pappy decided to retire and close the shop. He sold everything to sisters, Mary and Margaret Wildi; they renamed it Twisted Sisters and moved to Alcoa, TN, on the west side of Maryville.
The new owners have maintained and even enhanced the service once received at Pappy's. It's definitely worth a visit if you are in the Knoxville area. Such a beautifully organized shop with quality merchandise and a great loyalty program. They also do online business so check out their website.
Speaking of the loyalty program, I qualified for a discount because April is my birthday month so I made the one-hour trek yesterday and look at the yummy combo I picked out.
I have a couple of ideas for what I want to do with them -- as if I need a new project! I also got some golf-themed fabric to make a door prize for our church golf outing, along with some much-needed WOW background, several patterns, and a bunch of FQs.
Oh, that is a lovely fabric combination. And to have an idea in mind already? Even better!
ReplyDeletepretty fabric - like the name of the store
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice shop, Libby. Glad you had a little fabric therapy during your birthday month. Happy day, dear friend!!
ReplyDeleteHow nice to read about a successful shop and so envious of the in store shopping. Sigh!! But happy for you and your birthday month shopping! Lovely fabrics in delicate springy colours too.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Looking forward to seeing what you do with them.
