I love Paducah! Wonderful friendly people, pretty small town feel. Go to Hancocks first--it's right off interstate. Sales people are very friendly and helpful. They love working there and are quilters. They invited my friend to their quilt guild meeting. She loved it. Ask them anything--they live there and know the place.

Thanks everyone for all the information. I am so excited. I told my husband we were packing an empty suitcase for to bring home all my stuff. We will also be stopping at Marshall's Dry Goods in Batesville, Arkansas on the way to Paducah. Sunday was my birthday, so I have saved my birthday money for my October trip.

Make sure to see the murals on the river wall!

Thanks everyone for all the tips. I am so excited about my trip. We desperately need a vacation! Thanks again. Only 39 more days and counting!!!
