Fremont actually has a couple of little shops in the Niles district. Can't miss them, they are on the main street (Niles Blvd), in downtown Niles, among the antique shops. I can't think of their names at the moment, but I'll look them up and post them. They are very small. Best bet is to use the phone book when she gets here.
On the other hand, the Pacific International Quilt Festival happens Oct. 11-14 in Santa Clara (25 minutes away). That is definitely worth attending! She can see our local vendors and more, all in one place, and over 800 amazing quilts as well. I spend a lot my husband's money there every year ;-)
