I went to one last year which I totally adored but can't seem to find it.

If anyone has any ideas! I would really appreciate it.

There are two shops in Martinsburg.PA which are about 30 miles from Altoona. The two shops are only about 5 minutes from each other.

The first is Country Beefers . Coming from Altoona will be the first shop of the two you will come to. Small shop with a lot in it. They don't have a website but can get directions to both on line.

The second is Traditions. Restaurant decorated with quilts and other neat objects. On the other half of building is quilts, materials and other sewing things. Kill two birds by eating and shopping here.

In Altoona there is Joanne Fabric, Surplus City (Material not real good quality) and a Walmart.

Hope this helps.

Traditions sounds very familiar. I think that may be the one I was thinking about. Thank you so much!

Country Beefers has a great selection....especially for quilters. Their quality is great and so are the prices. Their batiks are fantastic. I love the store and shopping there is fun...so much to select from. I live about 40 minute drive from there....good thing not closer :-) But the prices are less than Joann's. About the same price as Hobby Lobby stores.
