Check out the hours of the shops you want to visit. I know Eleanor Burns is closed on Sunday and Hancocks may also be closed on Sunday. My husband took me this past September. It turns out it was the same weekend as the Bar-B-Que festival down by the river front. It was a beautiful day. I did some quilt shopping at Eleanor Burns (super nice people), we walked around the river front, had a nice bar-b-que lunch and shopped at Hancocks (large large large selection, but not the friendliest people. I told my husband, how can you not be friendly working with all of this wonderful fabric.) We had great time. Enjoy!

In the past Hancock's of Paducah was not open on Sundays; I don't know if they changed their hours of operation.

The quilt museum rotates their display, which makes each visit interesting; the best visit I had was when they had the annual quilt show.

Enjoy your visit and your DH!

If you enjoy a really good steak make sure you go yo Doe's - order the ribeye for 2 and it will seem so pricey! Make sure to visit Quilter's alley, downtown #rd street, Hancock's Fabric, Hobby Lobby, and Elanors Quilt in a Day! Oh, Jasimes's has great Thai food and sushi (behind the mall off Hinkleville road), DiFratelli's downtown for Italian, Mac's for good everything also downtown!Enjoy our lovely town!

I was there a year ago. Don't miss the quilt museum!!!!! It is so worth the trip. Just take your time and enjoy it. Hancocks of Paducah is another "must see." I really enjoyed our visit there. We were on vacation and my DH suggested we go there on our way home! Sounds like we both have "keepers"!
