Today the Milwaukee Madison Modern Quilt Guild is meeting at Mill House Quilts in Waunakee, WI for a sewing day! I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again. This group is full warm and very talented women... And what a great place to meet. The quilt shop is in a renovated mill warehouse that was built in 1875. The shop is filled with wonderful selections of fabrics and some of my favorite local teachers give classes there. I'm just about finished with side one of my Liberated Amish Quilt. I've really had a blast playing with the Liberated Letters and messing around with different color pallets. I can't wait to show you the finished quilt. I made this one just for me. :)
Cozy Quilts in Richland Center Wisconsin is having their grand opening celebration today (Saturday). I wrote about the shop in my last post. If you are coming to town, it is one of two quilt shops in Richland Center. Each shop has its own unique fabric lines. These two shops are great compliments to each other. I hope having a quilt shopping destination in town will bring more quilters to our area.
If you are coming to town, there is a great Mexican restaurant just down the street. You can also grab a bowl of soup and a sandwich wrap at the Pine River Organic Food Market. Accents has a sandwich shop and ice cream fountain (but they do close early on Saturday).
There are lots of great shops all with in a blocks walking distance. The Creative Outlet is across the street with local crafts and scrap booking supplies. On Court Street you will find a wonderful yarn shop called Gone Knitting. The Red Door Art Gallery is another great place to stop. This gallery is a not for profit venture staffed by volunteers. The local artists in this area are so talented! Ocooch Books and Libations sells books, micro brewed beers and local wines. You will also find an antique mall around the corner in the old Auditorium building. So many great places to visit!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend! Chris
