Judy's Quilt and Sew Hampshire, Illinois

A very nice store with lots of pretty fabrics and all the notions you could possibly need.They also have a web site, http://www.friendshipstar.com/ and an email quiltshop@msn.com I am sure if you check them out there will be something you NEED...I did, but then I DID every where we went ***VBS***I hope you will click on the pics and see all the eye candy, also the pic with their name and see the house they are in. Yes, its 2 stories, with fabric on both,this truly was a great shop.

So glad I got to visit with them myself.

Yesterday, my friend and I went to a Quilt Show, I think one of the guilds here sponsored it. The name of it was Prairie Treasures Quilt Show, unfortunately I have no idea what town I was in, but anyhow it was agreat show, lots of beautiful Quilts, 300 or so and there was 15 vendors. So a really great show, once again I had a great day.....Thanks, Barb, for inviting me.

I guess, Maybe, when we go to the beach next week ( on vacation ***VBS***) there should be a shop or two to check out, but until then, I will be off the net, mostly anyway,cause we are headed home TOMORROW MORNING......YEAH,YEAH.

Catch all of you soon,

Windmill City Quilts

Windmill City Quilts ia located in Geneva, IL. A very nice shop, but unfortunately she is closing down her storefront and will only be doing an on-line business.I didn't get a chance to talk to her very much and I failed to get her on-line addy, she was real busy, and didn't seem to have any help. She was apparently selling her "stuff" as she goes, but I think I overheard her say if someone wanted the entire contents she would sell that also. If you should be interested, email me and I will hunt up my receipt and see if her phone # is on it, if not I feel sure it would be in the phone book. She has lots of quilts on display, she also carries a lot of notions and especially patterns. I just took some random pics. The pic with the books shows what I purchased, I have read all 3 of the books and enjoyed them.

We also went to 3 other shops last Tuesday and I will post pics of them soon. Tomorrow is another workday, and a long one at that , but I will try to post again tomorrow anyway.Monday and Tuesday I plan to finish quilting the baby quilt so I can get it in the mail. I know someone is giving her a shower soon and I would like for her to get it then. Then I want to get the table runner I cut out 3 weeks ago, at least started. So much to do, so little time **VBG**

Well we finally had a pretty day today and it is supposed to be pretty again tomorrow. I hope it is, I do enjoy sitting outside with DH, but when it's cold, I usually sit in the truck and either embroider or read.I may even sneak in a little nap !!

WE will be here again all next week so that means I should get to sew most of Monday and Tuesday, then I can also sew the next 3 days cause we don't work until 3pm. So I am looking forward to being here, we seem to have picked a very quiet motel, it sure is out in the sticks, but in a pretty place. There is a 10 or so acre field behind the motel which we see out our window. I have been hoping to see a deer or two, but so far no luck. Hope everyone in blog land is having a nice Memorial Day, stay safe, and quilt some memories for me. Later, Bobbin
