Not sure there is a quilt shop in Amite (my DIL is from there) but there are 2 good eating places. One is The Front Porch and the other is just a little store that sells great poboys!!!
If you can, drive on to Baton Rouge. I bet you will find some great quilt shops there!
Stop at the state line Welcome Station and you can pick up some great brochures.
Have fun!
