I don't think you will be going down the NJ route, but dh and I went to Atlantic City a couple of yrs ago and took the scenic route back north. I don't remember the route or how far out of AC it was, but we came across a great quilt shop. The owner was originally from Gloucester, Ma. She has a great shop and would return if I was in the area again. Wherever we go, I always seek out LQS.
