Hello Everyone,
Exactly one week ago, my friend Maria (no blog) and I set off to an LQS to meet up with our friends Tina (Seaside Stitches) and Karen (Sew Many Ways). It was an absolutely glorious day, in my book, 90 degrees, sunny, a quilt shop, food, and friends. What more could a girl ask for??
Our quilt shop stop was here at Quilter's Dream. Lovely shop. Lots of batiks, but oddly enough, I did not purchase any. Must not have been thinking straight.
Ha, Tina and me. NO we did not contact each other and coordinate our clothes for the day. Apparently we both just have a love for everything fuchsia, and what is wrong with that?
Maria, is happily making her purchases!
Here we all are after our purchases have been made standing in front of the batiks. Clearly we are all happy with the fabric we purchased.
Now we are even happier. Guess why? We just ate a terrific lunch!
We are just one giddy bunch of girls, our tummies filled, wallets empty, and bags filled with fabric. Ahhhh.... a great day was had by all!
Until Next Time...

A perfect day. Are you sure you were feeling ok? NO BATIKS!!!
It was a perfect day! Oh, the pressure to coordinate our outfits again. I joined a modern bento box swap so I can use the fabric I bought that day.
A perfect day indeed!! What better than friends, quilt shop and lunch - and no rain :)

How cool is that! What a fun day :-)
Sounds like a perfect day! I passed up batiks on my recent shopping trip too. Maybe we are both a bit under the weather LOL.
It really looks like a very happy day!
Looks like you all had lots of fun!
Oh, my -- what a perfect day that sounds and looks like you had! But no batiks?? Yikes!
I just love those days where we can shop and dine with our quilty friends. the best of times.
HEY! You were 10 minutes away from me!! Quilters Dream is one of my LQS. The other one is in Colchester. :)
Oh, what a wonderful time you had...I am so envious! So nice to put some faces with blogs, thanks.
Looks like a beautiful day and so much fun with quilting/blogging friends!
Looks like a great day out! I understand about the batiks though..I have a LQS who have lots and lots and every time I see them I think... wow... but there are so many that you want that one, and that one, and that one, and you end up with so many 'wants' that it gets too much and then you cannot decide on your favourite so you end up with nothing! Go there one day with a pattern and a set amount of fabric to buy... it should be wonderful to choose then..
Shopping and lunch! Sounds perfect to me :)
Oh fun!!! I love all the pictures of happy ladies and pretty fabrics. Looks like the perfect day. : )
how incredibly fun to meet up with blogging friends. 90 degrees?!? Sheesh, that's hot. It would also explain the gorgeous sleeveless tops you are all wearing!
Looks like great fun Jackie!
Sounds like an absolutely wonderful day!
A perfect day indeed! What a fun outing with friends.
It is always fun to meet up with like minded people...looks like a good time was had by all!
Cute cute pictures. This looks like a great shop. I love shops in old houses.
The 90º heat must have clouded your mind Jackie - you were in a quilt shop and didn't buy any batiks - I can't believe it.
What a wonderful shop - it looks so quaint and cozy. A quilt shop, friends and lunch - a perfect day!
You must have been having such a great girls day our that you didn't need fabric, lol. The shop looks wonderful and a great name too.
It looks like a fun day with great friends.
I have never been there before. I usually go up to woodstock and hit whispering hills, love her rug shop.

I love spending the day with quilting friends, fondling and purchasing fabric and lunch included. Perfect day!
I love that quilt store my quilting buddies and I have taken a trip there many a time. It's a lovely shop with fabulous fabric. Looks like you all had a fantastic time.
What a fun day...I love days like that!!! I didn't realize you lived that close to Karen....gotta LOVE her Tool Time Tuesdays on her blog!!!
I'll have to check out your other friend's blog, too.
