Hi Bonita. The Glass Thimble is the closest quilt shop to the University area. It's on N. High Street. Quilt Beginnings has two locations, one on E. Broad Street and one on Sawmill Road (northwest of Columbus). Quilt Trends is also a very good place to go and it's on Huntley Rd.
Will you have a car to get to these places? If not, I may be able to pick you up and show you around. I don't live too far from the University.
