If you are drivng up near the coast, Portsmouth NH is a wonderful town to visit and their small shop is simply packed with Kaffe Fassett fabrics and books. If you are inland, The Red Barn on rt 125 off Rt 495 in Merrimack MA has the best selection of Asian prints around (and that includes Keepsake).
I hope you get to enjoy the New England food too - lobster, steamers, clamcakes... Yum!

Do take time to stop at the roadside stands for fresh apples and apple cider which is heavenly. Look for fresh made cheese of all kinds in Vermont and don't forget maple syrup products.
And just smell the fall air!!! there is nothing like the scent of the leaves, and take a bit of time to enjoy the crunch and shuffle of walking through them.

Yes, I agree about the apples!! It's supposed to be a bumper crop this year, and a very sweet one at that. Remember, too, that New Hampshire has no sales tax. 
Shop hopping while leaf peeping...sounds like something the tree frogs would enjoy!

OMG! You are all so wonderful and full of great places to make this trip so special. I have been reading every one's suggestions to hubbie so he can add to the route. Even tho Keepsake is not on the original route, we are going there. I get their catalog and LOVE it! We fly to Boston tomorrow and start the driving. I will post along the way so you can enjoy our stops. THANK YOU all so MUCH!
