Hello, Welcome from another PA quilter, near Williamsport, PA. You aren't too awful far away. We North central and north east PA folks will have to plan our own personal shop hop sometime :-)
This is an awesome board. Everyone is so friendly and I have learned so much!

No, but I'd be game. Do you have any more info on it?

Would like more information on the Susquehanna Dash if you have it.

You can shop in Altoona but not for quilt stuff. I was born there....you can eat and shop for clothes and that is about it! need to go about 150 miles farther east to Lancaster to really hit the fabric and quilt shops!

OK everyone. Here is the info for this years Susquehanna Stash Dash June 4- 13 Called Rows of Sweet Liberty. Using Sweet Liberty Fabric from P&B Twxtiles It is 7 shops. Passport is $5.00. You can buy the kit at each stop for an entire row of blocks which then go together for a complete quilt.
Shops are: Endless Mountain Quiltworks in Tunkhannock, 188 Farbric & More in Sweet Valley, Another Quilt in Wapwallopen, J&B Fabrics in Nescopeck, Fabrics Galore in Bloomsburg, Rose Of Sharin in Danville and Our Gathering Place in Montoursville.
I loved it last year!!! Had agreat time. If you can plan for this I'm sure you'll look forward to it every year. What's nice is that it is only 7 shops and very manageable. We did it in 2 days but I know others that did it all the same day. But then again, it was my first time in most shops. The other girls I met along the way were just out to run around and get the pattern pieces.
If anyone is coming let me know. Maybe we could get together and say "Hi". New to this site and I think it is the best.

I sometimes enjoy making our own trips too. No pressure and a lot to learn at each individual shop. Can't wait to get to Beyond the Needle. Our local TV station just did a little piece on a community project thye were doing and the shop looked really great.
