Recommendations for quilt shops in/near Coeur d'Alene, ID?
We'll soon be traveling to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Does anyone have any recommendations for quilt shops? We fly into Spokane and will probably spend a day there. Hubby doesn't mind driving, so any shops in the range of 35 miles would be do-able. Thanks for any help! Not that I need fabric, but it's fun to look! Oh, and any ideas for restaurants and fun things to see would be appreciated, too.

Linken is correct! Bear Paw is a great one! My daughter lives a block away so you KNOW where I head when visiting her? There is a lovely Hancock's on Government Way in CDA. No quilt shops in Sandpoint but there is a great Ben Franklin there (best selection of Moda Marbles ever!!) and one in Newport WA that have a great selection and a wonderful flat fold table with good prices. There are about 6-7 GREAT shops in Spokane WA area if you have the time and are headed that way. Do your own SHOP HOP..... You might want to put out an APB for Quilting Board members.. There are quite a few in and around CDA/Spokane area. I met up with several (6) for breakfast and the Spokane Quilt Show a few years ago. Great bunch of ladies! It's hard to meet a STRANGER when she's a quilter" lol ! And that is what we did ! laughed a lot..... Have a great time !! and drive safe!!

They are in a large shopping center that includes an Albertson's Grocery Store and they face the hwy.
If you are interested in shops in Spokane, there are several. I belong to a machine quilters' quild and we meet in the basement of The Quilting Bee located off of Pines Ave, south of the freeway and to the west of Pines (you can see it from Pines in a shopping center at the corner of Pines and Broadway, I think, is the cross street). Both Bear Paw and The Quilting Bee are Bernina dealers.
There are several scattered around Spokane. I only know the names of a few-A Heart Like Yours is the only one that comes to mind at the moment.
There is a book out called The Quilter's Companion that lists quilt shops nationwide. I just saw it on the counter at Bear Paw on Friday. That should help locate shops for you.
Hope that isn't overwhelming, but helpful.

Thanks, everyone! Hubby is used to me going into shops. He asks the ladies where the car parts are! Some are confused and some get it that he has to entertain himself by being silly! Yes, we will probably go to Spokane and maybe as far to the east as Ellensburg...to meet up with our workaholic son for a few hours. I'm taking notes on all the information here and will have fun checking these places out. And woe to me...I'm on the QB thread about not buying fabric this year! Thank you for all the help! Knew you all would come through!
