Quiltsmith's is in Cordova and the Quilting Barn is in Arlington. Both are excellent quilt shops. The one in Arlington is in the old town section of town and has fun shops all around. In addition to quilting we also have Mud Island, the metal museum, the fire museum, the Dixon Gallery, Lichterman Center, the Peabody Hotel with the parade of ducks, Brooks Museum of Art, National Civil Rights Museum, Stak Music Academy, and you can always have dinner on one of the riverboats with a short tour of the skyline from the middle of the mighty Mississippi, or head to the Rendevous for a barbeque dinner. If you gamble, we are not too far away from Tunica. I have lived here for over 25 years and while it is a high crime city I still venture out whenever I feel the need. However, that being said my favorite places to spend time are Hancock Fabrics, Joann's, Hobby Lobby, and Michael's. Yes I am a fabriholic.
