Day 6.....April 18th

We started off our morning in Bath with Gram's doctor's appointment.

Then we were off to start our day of shop hopping!

We started in Auburn, this store had moved into a new location this year. Although the space seemed much smaller then the previous space.
A very interesting challenge. Although I did not feel that much of the material was used because there was so much of the white background.

Then we headed to the other side of Auburn over to another shop.

This shop is situated in an old house with many different rooms. This store has a large variety of fabric as well as yarn. I never realized they had such a selection of yarn until this year.

Another challenge quilt. Each quilt is very different from one another and each shop added their own spin to the challenge.

A little goodie bag

That I was very impressed with!

Not only did we get our usual charm square but we were also given 10 additional charm squares to use with our collection!

On the road again

To a favorite, Busy Thimble. This shop isn't that far from home but it is one that we don't tend to visit often. Even though I really enjoy this shop because it has so many country colors.
And a totally different take on the challenge. Very interesting take on the fabrics. I was worried where this was a very country sho that fiting batiks into the challenge would be difficult but she seemed to get it to work.

And I am a sucker for buying fat quarters.

I just fell in love with these four and had to have them. None of them go together at all but they all seem to fit into my stash nicely.

And back in the car agian. Today's shops were all within like 30 minutes of each other so it was a lot of getting in and out of the vehicle.

A stop in down town Gardiner. This store was absolutley packed!

A very Maine ocean scene for thier challenge quilt.

Then off to Downtown Hallowell

A little shop that has recently moved to a new location.

The challenge quilt had quite a difference in it then other challenge quilts we have seen.  

Back in the car.....

Headed to Augusta!

And interesting challenge.  It was a quilt as you go doing one block at a time and then adding each block to one another until finishing off to the size you want it.

We decided it was a great day to stop and enjoy lunch together.  We had a little extra time and enjoyed stopping, sitting down, and having lunch before getting back in the car.

And off to Waterville.

A very interesting challenge.
