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!!

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.
and sew on... 
beautiful colors!
How fun – a day out with the girls.. I have forgotten what that is like.
OH . . .!!
My grandma had poppies in the front yard ~ I love them so much!! Of course, iris are my all time favorite flower, but I don’t need to tell you that! LOL
Thanks for the beautiful poppy pic! It brings a smile to my heart! 🙂
[…] the fabrics were from Mill House Quilts near Madison WI from my last trip there about 1 1/2 yrs ago. : Ialso used some stash fabrics for some of the backgrounds. […]
