Quilt shops everywhere in Holmes county. There are many "touristy" spots, but go off the main roads and you will find so many quaint places. Take your GPS, just in case. A few years back hubby had to be in Columbus on Thursday afternoon. We normally would go together, but I had an appointment on that day and could not leave until Friday morning. I decided to take the back roads through Amish country and see what was out there. By myself. I had a ball. I found so many small quilt shops and even though I was the only "English" woman in the shops, I was treated as a friend. I truly enjoyed the company and felt honored when one shop owner asked me to sit and have a glass of iced tea with her and a few other ladies. I live about an hour north of Holmes county. I had left my house at 7 am and I arrived in Columbus almost 12 hours later. Some of the roads I traveled were gravel roads that passed beautiful Amish farms. I did get a few strange looks as I passed by, since some of these roads may not have seen motorized vehicles very often.
