I live in the UP of Michigan. I have to travel some distance to get to quilt shops. I am very lucky that my DH is a pilot and we decide where to fly by what quilt shops are near an airport. I have been to many shops I wouldn't have gotten to by driving. Try to quilt a couple hours a day ;) . I am so glad I found this site. Have learned a lot already :!:
