Saturday Quilt Shop Cruising

I was so excited to get an email from Shirley on Friday asking about hitting the Wisconsin quilt shops on Saturday. Yippee!!

I stopped at JoAnn's for a smidgen and arrived at Shirley's by 10:10. She showed me her current project (very cool greens in a Double Irish Chain) and we headed out to pick up Ritarose.

We are quite the team... 3 of us quilters!
Too funny!!

We went to 4 shops! How cool is that!! All were near and around Madison.

Patches & Petals in Belleville
Stitcher's Crossing in Madison
Mill House Quilts in Waunakee
JJ Stitches in Sun Prairie

Aren't these poppies cute? The plantings outside Mill House Quilts were darling! They also had mini irises that were just ending.

Here we are in Mill House Quilts. It was my first visit to the store and I loved it. It is a huge store, friendly employees, and beautiful decor.

Ritarose, Shirley, and Me!

I loved this deal I found in the sale room at Mill House Quilts.
The fat quarter roll was in the sale room and I wondered out loud how hard it would be (in the future) to find coordinating fabric for the border. Ritarose immediately suggested "this" bolt and it was perfect! I think she moonlights there!

I got home just after 7 p.m.
