Lenny and I have been here in Minneapolis for a couple days. On Wednesday we took a ride to several area shops and had a great time. There were lots of other shop owners on a bus touring at the same time. Love to see new shops and maybe even get some new ideas about displays, classes or whatever!

Our first stop was Rosebud's Cottage. It was a hub of activity and a very nice shop.

Our next stop was Bear Patch Quilting. These women were so friendly! They treated us the same as the bus tour and even offered us the best cinnamon  buns ever! We poked around and chatted with many other quilters. I had a lovely chat with a shop owner from California. We did some comparisons - it was very interesting. The staff at this shop were so helpful and willing to share ideas - we had a great time.
