[QUOTE=jillnjo;5506096]QuiltyMom- we are heading up to Michigan-land on Thursday! I want to bike Mackinac Island and wishing for a little fall color, but may be too early. And I intend to eat some FUDGE! I should find out if we are close to some quilt shops along the way!
That sounds like a blast. We did that 37 years ago, when my first born was 9 months or so old. DH carried him in a backpack type thingy all the way around!! He loved it. The baby that is. LOL
One of my drivers has a daughter on the island working for the season. She was in a fudge shop but took a spot in one of the hotels. Customers were driving her nuts. LOL
Make sure you stop in at the Ben Franklin store in Gaylord. They have a HUGE fabric department. Nice stuff! There is a little shop in Grayling, as well. Pick up a copy of Country Stitches, I think that is right. It is a quarterly paper they put out that lists all the fabric shops in Michigan. Once you get up there you will see it in a lot of the shops, and all the fabric shops. If you make it down 72 between Grayling and Traverse City, about a mile or two east of the Casino on the north side of the road is a GREAT shop. I am trying to remember the name of it. Renea's? Yea, I think that's it.
Lots more, Sisters in Marlette is a not to be missed shop in the thumb area, as is Back Door Quilt shop in Elkton. The Fabric Fair in Bay City. One block north and another east of the planetarium.
HAVE FUN!!!!!
