My First Marathon!

 My first Quilter's Marathon was fantastic!  In 24 hours Peg and I made it to 6 quilt shops!

Our first Friday afternoon stop was the Quilter's Quest in Sister Bay.  The store is going out of business.  All of the fabric was 40% off! Yes, we helped her out in selling off her inventory. 

 

 Next stop was Barn Door Quilts in Sturgeon Bay.   

 Saturday morning we headed to Green Bay.  After having breakfast at Panera Bread. We made a quick stop at a mall then on to quilt shops. Our first stop was Julie's Sewing Center. 

Next stop was Quilter's Connection.  It was one of my favorite.  Left some cash there also.

Peg made sure we found it!

I bought supplies for two more projects.

I could have spent a long time just looking and selecting fabric. 

There were two more shops in Green Bay, but we headed to Appleton. The first stop was " Keep Me In Stitches."  It more of the whimsical patterns and fabrics.  I did purchase a couple of patterns and some basketball fabric.

Next stop was my other favorite shop, "Going to Pieces Quilt Co."  I came out with fabric for a couple more projects! 
















Last stop was at Piece By Piece.  We didn't have enough time before they closed to find any thing we couldn't live with out.  They turned off the open sign just as we walked in the door.  I could definitely spend more time in that shop.

After that I had my first trip to a Hobby Lobby followed by a quick stop at Joann's Fabrics.

I came home yesterday with fabric, patterns, thread, a pair of scissors, two plastic project storage bins,  and more!  It was great to "save" so much money with all the sales going on!

There were several more shops to see, but we ran out of time.  By the same we were done with the Marathon we thought this might have been a good place to stop...but we did resist!   We headed back to Sturgeon Bay with our treasures.  Sunday noon I headed back home to north western Wisconsin.  Peg's house is 596 miles round trip from home.  She did all the shopping driving with me as the co-pilot.  It was a fantastic weekend!
