No Quilter or Cookie will be left behind
Last week on my trip to Duluth, Minnesota, to the Minnesota Quilter's annual show, I made a stop at my friend Roseann's. Check out the cute video we made!
Well Roseann is always raving about this neighborhood grocery store that she goes to called Kowalski's Market. How good can a grocery store be anyway? Off we went for a visit. As we drove up into the parking lot, the view of the lake was beautiful.
The front door was very inviting. I was starting to think groceries??? In a place that looks like a resort lodge?? Roseann starts talking about sipping coffee in front of the fireplace.
Let me tell you, this was the best looking grocery store I've EVER been in. The gift shop was spectacular. The food looked so scrumptious...I sort of went into a daze and forgot to take pictures. The displays were beautiful. I wanted to buy everything!
I could buy one for each child....
Henry and Jeff have enjoyed the chocolate covered sunflower seeds. They are so colorful.
After making the rounds of the store, wishing I was close to home so I could stock up, we came to the "wall of goodness" as I have named it. A display case with scones, muffins, and cookies. Over the course of the two days, I made two trips to Kowalski's and have sampled the lemon scone, blueberry muffin (both crumbled top and frosted top), cinnamon muffin, McTavish gingerbread shortbread cookie, chocolate chip cookies, and regular shortbread cookies. It all was good!!
Since I was headed to Duluth to work at the APQS booth with Karen McTavish, it was only right to buy cookies for her. Here she is with her cookie.
After a long dialog last night on Facebook, I've accepted the challenge to bring 100 McTavish cookies to my next speaking engagement on July 9 in Mankato, Minnesota. Are you coming? I want to make sure no quilter is without a cookie.

I've been to Kowolski's, it is amazing isn't it? Of course I love all things MN. Except snow.
