Keepsake is nice, but it isn't what it used to be. It used to be a lot larger. Also, Fons & Poter now owns Keepsake. Coming from Maine, there's a shop in Berwick, Maine- Village Quilt Shop that isn't very old but is quite nice and they've now added a yarn store that's attached. In NH there's- Quilting Corner in Tilton, Country Heart Quilters in Plymouth if you like country style, Quilted Threads in Henniker is large and one of my favorites and you will find lots of inspiration there but it's a bit of a drive from Keepsake but well worth going to. If you want novelty fabrics, Bits n Pieces in Pelham has the largest selection. The Bunkhouse in Lyndeborough is quaint and the owner is amazing and she has some nice fabrics and will go out of her way to help you. Four Pines in Claremont is small but gets nice close outs and has great prices and stuff other shops don't have. If you PM me and let me know what fabrics or style you like as well as where all you plan to visit I'd be happy to help you more. There are only a couple of NH shops I haven't been to. Also, if you have time to drive to VT, I highly recommend going to Country Treasures in Chester. If you go, plan to spend hours your first time. I spend more there than Keepsake and you will be on overload in there. Don't let the name fool you, it isn't only country...it's just in the country. They have everything. Also, in VT about 15 mins from there is Waterwheel House and they have lots of contemporary and bright fabrics as well as some nice blenders.
