What would make a perfect day for a quilter?
What else but to go to a quilt show. In this case the Quilt Expo in Madison.
Loaded the van with 2 friends and off to Madison we go. Stopping at McDonald's for a Egg McMuffin and a choc chip Frappe, one of my newest addictions.
We arrived around 10am and proceeded to take it all in. First stopping at Twin Turtle Quilt Shop booth, I had told her I would relieve her from her booth when she needed a lunch break.
So after checking in with Teresa we hit the vendors with the passion of all quilters. Anything new, anything exciting anything we haven't seen before.
I even played with some long arm machines - Had to just try them out a little bit and even talked Annette into playing with one.
After seeing as many vendors as we wanted to, went through the show
Just a few photos, my camera card filled too quickly. I forgot to format and change the setting before going so I didn't get all the pictures I wanted to.
After leaving "exhausted" we went to A & W for sandwich and root beer.
Of course before leaving this morning I had to spend some time sewing. Sewed the machine portion of the binding on my Buggy Barn Baskets, finished 2 blocks on the wall hanging for my daughter in law and started a bag - for fall.
It was a perfect day.

| Teresa at Twin Turtle Quilt Shop - Clinton WI had 2 of my quilts hanging in her booth along with all of my patterns available for sale. |
