Two-fer

It was just lucky that Bonnie was teaching in a venue not too far from O'Hare so I was able to meet her for dinner last night. Our friend Val, who owns Quilt Merchant nearby, joined us as well. It was great!


Then I made my way to Wisconsin to start the weekend of shopping and retreating!  And no, I did not vote. Vbg

Our first stop was in Spring Green at Quilt Sampler, one of favorite shops!  The town of Spring Green is adorable! 


The shop has the most adorable set up and fabulous samples with kits!



We posed with our bags outside. Don't  ask how much damage we did!!


Here are a few of us inside:
Note that our group is larger this time, including a bunch of fabulous ladies from Georgia!!

I'm staying at my friend Debbie's until we all meet up tomorrow and wandering through her house is like a veritable quilt show!








Tomorrow we set out for several quilt shops on our way up to Primitive Gatherings!!

  10. Hubby almost purchased a large portion of farmland in Spring Green area a number of years ago ... would have been a nice retirement option. Enjoy your retreat ... stitch a lot, laugh a lot and thanks for sharing with us all. Glad you had time to meet up with Bonnie ... always a fun time when good friends meet. Travel safe! Linda
