Our first stop was as Country Treasures. We LOVED this store and spent a little more than 2 hours there. There was gads of fabric, literally room to room to room and an upstairs too!! The staff was very friendly and the customers as well.
There was a class going on while we were there and they invited us in and gave us a show and tell. How great that was and inspirational. A great group of talented ladies and very warm and friendly.The owner Sue was wonderful and allowed me to take many photos. So here they come. Make sure you click on them to enlarge to get the full effect of the store.

So that's it for Country Treasures. If you want to visit them they are in Vermont, click here for their information. If you get a chance to visit Country Treasures in Vermont, tell Sue that Jackie from CT sent you!
Then we had to recharge and ate lunch at the Heritage Deli. It was great and we met up with the ladies from the shop who were taking class that day.
Then on to Yankee Pride in Essex Junction. I forgot to take pictures there, but it was a great shop and I got some good deals on their 50% off rack!!
Well the rest of the trip was great. We learned autosketch and had a nice time visiting with Julie, Brian, and Beth. Thanks guys for taking good care of us. We did manage to stop back at Yankee Pride on the way home.
All in all it was a great trip with great company!

Hand me a paper bag! I'm hyperventilating! Wow, how I wish I could pick fabrics for the Dear Jane quilt over there.
Wow, I wish I lived in the states!! But thanks for letting me have a look. This is a great way to shop :)
Ooooohhhh....Country Treasures is one of my very favorite LQS's anywhere!!!! Sue is such a sweetheart and her fat quarter bundles are fabulous! My quilt group goes there every year for a weekend retreat and we stay next door at the Fullerton, such fun!! Just a few more weeks until we go!
And this weekend and next is the Vermont Shop Hop, so I'll be back at Yankee Quilter then, too!
I hope you had a fabulous trip, you saw two great shops, but you missed a few others (I love the Quilted Lily in Johnston and the shop in Williston, and the one in Northfield, too!).
Oh my gosh! How fabulous! Looks like you had a great time!
You spent the weekend similar to me! Quilt shopping! Is there anything better?? Nope!
