What a wonderful gift from your DH. See as much as you can for thetime that you have. Don't forget to stop and breathe, though and enjoy the sights. Have fun!

Quilt in A Day fabric shop is on 4th street and most all fabric is 5.00 a yard. Hobby Lobby is nice and Hancock's Fabrics is full of fabric but they are a bit pricey. If you like Chinese food, then you have to go to Chongs. There is one out by Kentucky Oaks Mall and one on Jackson Street.

Be sure to:
see the flood wall murals on the river (katty corner from museum)
quilt museum
hancocks is pricey to me also --- local shops are friendlier too
chocolate factory on 2nd street (just down the street from the museum)
If you like peach wine there is the Purple Toad Winery just a few miles out of town...worth the trip
"Does" has terrific steaks but expect to drop about $75 - $100 for 2 people
"Patties" is in Grand River...about 30 minutes east of Paducah...check it out...wow is all I can say...

Be sure to pick up a Paducah Visitors Guide. It has many wonderful things in it: Quilt Museum, Lower Town Arts District, Wall to Wall murals, Carson Center, Clemens Fine Art Center, Paducah School of Art, PAPA Gallery, Yeiser Art Center, there are many workshops, trolly rides, guided tours, etc. ENJOY!

If you go to Metropolis ask about Super Man and have your picture taken with him

Make sure you go to Hancocks after you have eaten and allow plenty of time!! get a cart the minute you walk in the door.. I was there for easily 2 hours. The place has a nice lay out and has so much to look at it's best to go with a project, two or three in mind. good luck.

I love Paduka, I go to Metropolis,Illinois alot - I enjoy going to the casino there. I always take one day and go to Paducah. I like wandering the streets down by the river. Now that I have been bitten by the quilting bug I will have new places to visit. Enjoy your trip, I will going in 2 weeks and I will be checking out the quilt shops this time.

Enjoy the Quilt Museum, Hancocks, The Burns shop, the painted wall along the river. I remember there were lots of wonderful restaurants and shops not far from the Quilt Museum.
