Day 65 - Quilt Shops/Planning

It was a fun filled day visiting quilt and fabric shops with my friend Lois.
Met at 8:30 at her home and looked at additional patterns for our jelly roll quilts.
 Then off to Fat Quarter quilt shop.
They were having a Grand Opening and all fabric was 30% off. Found 2 pieces.
Next on to White Bear Lake

where we spent time at Bear Patch Quilting Co.

Look at these fruit and vegetable fabrics- see the cucumber?

Here was a strip quilt display- look at the ruffle around the edge!!

I purchased 2 clearance fabrics here
 and then on to lunch at the Great Moon Buffet (Chinese) and wonderful!
After about 2 hours of eating and talking and eating some more....
on to Mill End Textiles.
This was at least twice as large at the Mill End Textile stores near me.


I found 2 more fabrics for a new project and 2 more Susan Branch fabrics in the In Love With Nature line.  Also one other cool "boy" fabric that I couldn't pass up.
Last stop was a Handcock Fabrics.

Look at the lovely brights in the childrens section!

I bought a piece of the green in the photo and 2 fat quarters (on sale of course)
 that are potka dot designs (for a future quilt).
  Back to Lois' house where we looked at felt, embroidery floss, old dishes and wrapped up.
  I arrived back home at 6:30 pm.  Fun day!
