hi there...First of all if you come so. on I-75 you must go to the Quilt Box inDry Ridge, KY(a fun place a bit off the interstate in an old home set on top of hill; (Walnut Springs Farm 859-824-4007, 3 mi. from Exit 159; (w. Hwy 467)then in Lexington we have two: Quilter's SQuare, 140 Moore Dr(859) 278-5010; and Corner Quilt Shop 153 Patchen Dr.(859)268-7567.
THEN 4 1/2 hrs later just east of Asheville, NC take Exit 59 on I-40 to go to the Fabric Outlet(always something interesting there and a 1/2 way stop to Ral/Dur area from LExington, KY(do it frequently as my daughter lives in Pittsboro off I-64) In Carrboro(actually just to west of Chapel Hill) in the Carr Mill shops is a special place w/ unique fabrics...??name..but eat at Elmo's there while you're there...
