Mill House Quilts

by Karen on October 5, 2008

When we visit our daughter in Wisconsin the quilt shop that I love the most in her area is Mill House Quilts in Waunakee about 8 miles from her house — and here at home I have to travel miles and miles to get to a quilt shop (80 miles to be exact). I couldn’t believe it but they are open every day of the week – how neat is that. We went on a Sunday afternoon and the parking lot was packed. A link to their store near Madison WI: http://www.millhousequilts.com/ and some pictures of in and out:

This is a very neat building - an old millhouse that has been renovated from my understanding about 13 years ago. There is history about the building on their web site. If you are in that area of Wisconsin visiting drop by and visit them, the selections of fabric is amazing – very large selection. They will get my business when I am in the area. The owners and employees are very friendly and helpful. Besides the fabric they have a large selection of books and notions as well.

Now you can all see why I love this store so much. If I lived near this store I have a feeling I would be applying for a job or I would be visiting it every week just for the atmosphere

I did overdraw my checkbook but the Rancher was very understanding and will fix all my mistakes in the morning I have to make a five hour drive (round trip) to get to a real quilt shop from home. Sadly, they don’t offer too much in the way of fabric. They seem to be very involved in teaching classes however. Luckily there is a fabric warehouse catty-corner from them so I still am able to get some new fabrics while there. I love fabric.
