Classroom facilities are located on the second floor, allowing the ground floor to be dedicated to their showroom. I seek out quilt stores for my wife any time we make a road trip and this store was the first of five, on a recent trip to southern Minnesota. (We live near Columbia, MO.) To the best of my knowledge, the wife found their prices to be competitive and we left with an armful of "stuff." If we pass through Cedar Rapids again, I have no doubt that "Inspired to Sew" will be on our itinerary.

There is a lovely assortment of high quality cottons in many colors and themes. What I especially love is that sometime quilt shops stick with very traditional fabrics. The Red Hen has a terrific assortment of traditional, modern, patriotic, etc. I fell in love with some bold, vibrant paisley fabric and already have plans for it. The prices are exceptional. There is nothing priced over $10.00 per yard.

We attended her fajita class on Cinco de Mayo and learned how to make pineapple and aleppo pepper sorbet, marinated steak/chicken/veggies, flour tortillas and guacamole. The food was outstanding, Deb was a thorough teacher and the crowd was lovely (and encouraged to interact). Even if you live in downtown Des Moines, it's worth the drive! Deb, a former restaurant professional, says veggie-based dishes are her specialty, so we're looking forward to attending again for one of her salad or spiralized vegetable classes. Plan for about 2 or 2 1/2 hours per event.
