Our quilt shops are small and really reflect the personality of the owner. One shop in the Sebago area specialises in cat fabrics.
Another owner loves bright colors -- no Thimbleberry fabrics there :-)
I taught in a Thimbleberry lover shop -- Very conservative New England colors and patterns.
I found out in my travels how relative "old" really is. in the US 'old" is 2 to 300 years -- in Europe "old" is a couple thousand. And in the far east and middle east it is even older. All treasure their heritage

Oh gosh, that is so funny. Having the ocean on the wrong side isn't the only difference. The west coast is "new" compared to the east. My husb. was from Maine (way up north in "the county" & the cities surprised me at how old the red brick buildings are & how narrow the streets are.
We went to Plymouth Rock in Plymouth, Ma & discovered that it is just a rock with a wooden box built around it. Not a very big rock at that.
Every part of this country is unique & beaut. though. If I could make that trip again, I'd hit every quilt shop I see. I suspect they are all identical though.
