Thursday was my day trip to the Lancaster area with 3 lady friends. I found the perfect fabric for binding a quilt I just finished for my sister-in-law, at Good's, in East Earl, for $2.79 yd. My eyes lit up when I noticed they had Hoffman Bali PopsŪ 2-1/2" batik strips for $27 per pkg. At the Re-uzit shop on Rt 23 I purchased 4 older quilting magazines (.25 ea.), and a few pieces of fabric (.65 ea.) for the baby quilt I'm making. We saw Music of the Night, the songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber at the AMT, and indulged at Shady Maple for dinner. While the sun was shinning in NJ, it poured rain, and hail throughout our day in PA. No matter what the weather, you always have a fun day in the Lancaster area.

Where do you stay in the "quilt circuit" Penn./Amish area so you are centrally placed for quilt shopping? I would only have a weekend to stay there and it's 8 hours drive I think so I'd like to be centrally located to head out n/s/e/w to shop. I appreciate any help.

Hi Zoeytoo. We've stayed at the Fulton Steamboat Inn, Rt 30
"fultonsteamboatinn.com", and Saudersburg Motel on
Rt 30 "saudersburgmotel.com". Dienners Restraunt "dienners.com" is directly across from the Saudersburg Motel. There are many hotel/motels, and restraunts on Rt 30. I would estimate that many of the fabric shops are within a 30 minute drive.
This website "quiltart.com" lists many of the quilt shops, and their location. Below I've listed some other websites that may be of help to you.
"800padutch.com"
"quiltand textilemuseum.com"
"padutchcountry.com" (for a map & overnight get away)
"visitpa.com" (subscribe to the Pursuits Magazine )
"Shady-Maple.com"
"amtshows.com"
"800padutch.com"
"800padutch.com/lititz.shtml (a little town to visit the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, Wilbur Chocolate Factory, Moravian Church Square, and Lititz Springs Park)
Check out some of these websites and see what suits your fancy before planning your trip.

Thank you very much. You are so kind to send me so much information. I will be enjoying making plans using these sites. Family members aren't up to it now but half the fun is planning so I am ready to plan!
