I love lancaster. Everyone has to go to Obies just once. It scathed me out too.. In fact one of the piles started to fall on me and i had to be resqued..

.... I'm going up the end of July for a family visit and - Quilt Odyssey wich I've been to every single year, including the horribly hot ones over in Gettysburg. And I always travel with my copy of "The Quilter's Travel Companion" as I make stops all the way from NC to PA - terrific book.

Sandy in Mooresville, NC

Maybe I'll see you at Odyssey. I also go every year. It's my favorite quilt show!

Have you planned your next trip yet??? LOL
Have a great weekend!
Sue

Shoo-fly Pie, I don't think there is anywhere in the world accept Lancaster Country that has it. I tried to make it once and it was terrible. My family "Pedigree" go back to the 1700's in Lancaster County. Wish I was there!!!!!!

Lancaster Co is my favorite place on Earth!! I just love everything about it...the simplicity and peacefulness and of course all that FABRIC!!

Aunt Sue, my sister lives in upstate NY. Mom lives in PA. I live in the dust bowl, armpit of NM. Wish I was anywhere East of Ohio.

I'm in Perth, NY about 30 miles west of Albany...where is your sister? So sorry to hear you do not like the area you live....

My sister lives in Clay, outside of Syracuse. I was last there summer of 2009. Time to go again.

The world gets smaller and smaller, I grew up in Bucks County as well. Lived in a lot of the towns around Philadelphia. My first home about 38 yrs. ago was in Chalfont. But I also lived in Conchohocken, Radnor, Bryn Mawr, Yardley, Morrisville and Philadelphia. PA. is such a pretty state.

Thanks for the name 'scrapple'. I wanted to order gingerbread but ordered scrapple by mistake. What a shock when I took a bite!

ROFLMBO ......that certainly would have been a shock. Did you at least put maple syrup on it to make it sweet. Funny!

I did sign up. That was the sale going when I was there. I believe they also are having a % off right now too. I want to say it was 25%.

(each riser of the stair had a Bible verse painted on it)
I also enjoyed all the handmade Raggedy Anns and Andys.

I sure wish I could get out there again but DH is in a care facilty with Alzheimers.

Sorry to hear about your hubby. Obie has passed away & a family member has kept it going but their wasn't any music or Raggedy Anns or Bible verses that I noticed & I am sure I would have & would have liked it very much.

Sue, I smiled when I read this, because I have the same problem. No body in Texas knows what Maypo is and I have fond memories of eating it and watching the commercials.

CoCo Wheats where I am in Florida.

I know shoo-fly pie AND I know Maypo!

I am originally from Ohio. About 1 1/2 hrs. from Amish country. Still go there on my yearly visit .
Used to live near Amish country in Ohio - back in Montana now for 27+ years - hubby liked the west, though he was raised in Ohio. I was raised in Montana.
I wasn't a quilter when in Ohio - would now love to visit those shops mentioned in this thread - even Obie's just to see it!
