Starting in PA, we went through New England several years ago. Here are the shops we stopped at - each and every one well worth a stop. Close to Home Quilt Shop in Glastonbury CT. There's a great Italian restaurant next door. Knight's Quilt Shop in Cape Neddick, Maine. Heartworks Quilt Shop in Fly Creek, NY, just outside Cooperstown (Guess where my husband wanted to go?) Cotton Weeds Quilt Shop in Freeport, Maine (Also a must-see - LL Bean main store). Also mentioned is Keepsake Quilting. Gotta see it! A bit farther south is Material Girls in La Plata, MD. And we live very close to Lancaster, and there are lots of shops there. Old Country Store is my favorite. Have a good trip!
