I love Charleston! The history that is preserved there is amazing. We stayed downtown for two weeks and I would love to live there. The houses are mouth dropping awesome in that area. There was one quilt shop a few blocks from the Market, very nice but small. I didn't leave the downtown area but I looked in the phone book and there were many quilt shops listed. You just have to take the Haunted Tours! What a blast. Charleston is full of ghosts!
