I'm still thinking there are 13 within driving distance.
My avatar is Mt. Shasta where I was raised in California. No mountains in Indiana.
Oh, you made me laugh. No mountains in Indiana! Not even much of a hill until you get south of Indy.
I have never done the garden tour but from time to time I stumble across a quilt garden when I am on my way to Shipshewana from my home in southwestern Michigan. The gardens are lovely. I don't know the number of quilt shops either but there are several that I count as my favorites. Nothing like a quick trip through beautiful Amish country on a sunny day to search out fabric and stunning gardens.
