Haven't been traveling as much as we used to but I love to see a quilt shop sign as we go down the road. They always give us an excuse for an extra stop. Sometimes I see different fabrics; sometimes I don't but it is always fun to look. If I see something I like, I'll usually buy a yard. Patterns pertaining to the area are fun to find too. Flea markets along the way are fun too and you see fabric quite often. Although last time we were in New Mexico I ended up with lots of turquoise jewelry and a rhinstone enhanced Kokopelli tshirt. LOL. No fabric that day.
