Hidden in plain sight for the last 17 years at one of the most pedestrian-friendly intersections in Pacific Grove – across the street from both the museum and the library – is Back Porch Fabrics. Inside the modest store lies a quilter’s paradise with a deep collection of cotton fabrics, patterns and tools and the best fabric art gallery in the county. Walk over and become inspired. New collections go up every six weeks. The gallery display of work by Southern California’s Del Thomas is up until May 3.
