Tu-Na Quilts and Travels: Day Seven on the 2019 Quilt MN Shop Hop, 6 Shops, 137 Miles, Only 4 Shops Remaining (or so we thought)

Shop hopping is hard work!! We are nearing the end; only 4 more shops to go. Or so we think. I am not very good at math or map reading.

Tu-Na Quilts and Travels: Day Eight on the 2019 Quilt MN Shop Hop, 5 Shops, 406 Miles, Time Spent with Tu-Na Helper–Priceless

I may have spent double my initial budget but time spent with Tu-Na Helper was priceless. We found the last shop we’d missed and finished at Quilter’s Cottage in Fergus Falls. Now to wait for the announcement of who won the Alaskan Cruise and start sewing with all the new fabrics I found.
