New favorite quilt shop

DH went with me to Madison last week for some not so very fun tests.  He was “my driver”.  After my tests were done, a meal was top on my list of things to be doing as I hadn’t eaten anything since noon the day before.  We stopped at a little café in the small town of Belleville, just south of Madison for some lunch.

Ironically, just across the street was this wonderful quilt shop.

I really wanted to show DH the building as it’s a converted old store with wood floors and the big front display windows.  They’ve done a beautiful job with restoring it and keeping the old charm.  I had been in the store one time prior during a Madison trip earlier this month and was more than eager to stop in again.  The owner and her employees are extremely friendly and helpful. She has a great selection of fabric and some adorable patterns.  This might just become a regular stop.  Since early August, I’m 2 for 2!

  1. I remember going to Belleville as a little girl. My grandmother lived in a trailer behind a gas station there. I reember it was on the road to the air force base.
    thanks for the renewing the memory!
    Sounds like a nice quilt shop!

  2. Ah, no wonder I had never heard of Belleville. It's off 151. I have been in Verona, but that's about as 'off' 151 as I have been. Looks like a nice shop. Hope everything is ok.
