    I think it would be worth the money to buy a "Quilters Companion".

    there is also the "Quilt Shop Navigator." I do not leave home with out my copy. It comes out every 6 months and list quilt shops by towns, states and store names. Also has events listed in the same way. if you store does not have them a website is www.wrbqinc.com. they run about $8.00. They do have an "app" coming but I don't do them.

    Last year we went to Kennebunkport, Maine, and drove over to Center Harbor, New Hampshire (only about 2 hours) and went to Keepsake Quilting. The drive was delightful (loved the different style of homes), and well worth the trip. We ate at The Canoe - and I had lobster mac 'n cheese - YUMMY! What could be better - visiting a wonderful quilt shop and have a delicious lunch. Definitely a fun day trip if you are in Kennebunkport. Also, you must try the lobster rolls anywhere in Kennebunkport....and for sure a lobster pound for dinner! (Can you tell I am a lobster lover??)

    While in Maine plan to visit Mardens stores, nearest to Kennebunk
    is Sanford Maine. You will be glad you did visit they have large fabric department and prices that you won't believe. There are more of these
    Mardens in southern Maine

    Depending on which way you head, Kutztown, PA has a nice shop called Wooden Bridge. It is located on a farm. Nothing fancy but good selection, great help and good prices. The area around Lancaster is loaded with quilt shops.

    Patchwork Plus, which someone recommended, is a wonderful shop in New York State
    There are 2 shops in New Hampshire that I would recommend:
    Quilters Workshop in Newport on Route 10 in the center of town - Gail Peck is a great gal, a member of this Board and she has a wonderful selection of fabric.
    Quilted Threads in Henniker is a fabulous shop - great and vast collection of Japanese taupes
    I'm not a Keepsake fan, but unless it's way off your track, it's worth a trip just to know you've been

    Paducah, Ky. The whole town is almost a quilt shop and the National Quilt Museum is a must see. It is in western Kentucky, but well worth the trip in my book.
