Planning a dream trip-needlework related
Okay, here's the deal, my bff and I are planning a trip around the US
next summer after she retires. In addition to the usual sights, we want to stop at as many LNS, and beading, and quilting, and book shops as we can. I have a van and we plan to only take a minimum of clothing. What shops are not to be missed. We are already planning to stop at Nordic Needle, Silver Needle, Caravan Beads and Fire Mountain Gems. We are open to suggestions. Also, if there are local sights not to be missed let us know. Feel free to contact me privately as well. |

For huge quilt shops there's Keepsake Quilting in New Hampshire and Hancock's of Paducah in Paducah KY. I've never been to either store in person but from what I've heard they are definitely gigantic and awe inspiring. For fantastic bargains on quality fabrics hit Lancaster County in Pennsylvania where there are dozens of Amish owned quilt shops..... http://www.quiltart.com/lancaster.html From personal experience I can definitely recommend Zook's, Weaver's Dry Goods, Sauder's, and The Old Country Store. My stash definitely expanded after that trip! lol Have fun! Jeri |

And you have to do the Kancamagus Highway while you're this way. Cheryl in NH |

Feel free to contact me privately as well. When you get close to Fire Mountain Gems (the one in Grants Pass, OR?) send me a note and I can send you to the two local shops. One, in Grants Pass, is called Unique Lee Yours. Another, in Medford, is the Middleford Yarn Shoppe. If you end up going up I-5, there is a place called Mimi's. I hear that it has a wonderful selection but is pretty pricey. Crater Lake is worth a visit if you have enough time and, if our local EGA Chapter is having a stitch in or a meeting, you and your friend would be more than welcome to come. We have a really great group of women and have lots of fun together. If you end up going north as far as Portland, Acorns and Threads is a great shop to visit. OH! You might also enjoy a Harry & David tour, in Medford, if you like chocolate. :-) Liz from Humbug (in Applegate, 23 miles from Grants Pass & from Medford) |
