I did not know what a LQS was until I visited some parts of USA

So happy you had such a nice vacation and pleasant experience here in the USA. Even though we live in a rural area we're use to having to travel some distance to get what we want. So a 50-75 mile trip is nothing for us. In that circumference we have access to 7 quilt shops plus numerous JoAnn's and a Hancock's so we are indeed lucky! Also, order on line at times due to the price of gas. Your fabric choices were stunning. Please post a picture as you go along.

That was a shame as I really like going to a new place and visiting the local markets and fabric stores and meeting the people that live there as well as seeing the sights.

Your DH sounds like a really nice guy! Suggesting stopping at all those shops. I can't imagine my sweetie doing that, but he does tag along sometimes.
Beautiful choice of fabrics, by the way. And, what a nice trip.

Thank you all for your nice comments.
Yes, I considere myself lucky because of my husband wanting to drive by "some" quilt shops (3 or 4 would be the most he is willing to go too but this is very acceptable for me). I think he admires all the beautiful quilts that his sister make and has been making for the last 20 years.
We had a very nice vacation as far as Nashville then getting away from all the tornadoes we headed west by Dodge City, Denver and Salt Lake City.
Much more to see I know. and I haven't seen all of Canada either even if I have been from Newfoundland to Vancouver... It's a big continent loll

Dear helou.
Depending where you live in Quebec a LQS store might be closer than you think!
Are you far from Montreal?
There are international crossings to New Hampshire.
Please google a map to Center Harbor!
AT Lake Winnepesauke!
That is where KEEPSAKE QUILTING is!
The nicest most beautiful quilt store possible!

Thank you
Jeannie, thank you for the information. I looked it up and it would be a 5 hour drive. I'm a good 2 to 3 hours east of Montreal. I kept the address though because we might be driving this way in the Falls... Thanks
