Lancaster, Intercourse (that's the name of the town) are the right place to be! You'll get all the inspiration you need. Bring lots of $$ because you'll find anything you have ever wanted there, all at great prices! Welcome to Pennsylvania! :thumbup:

i also want to go to Obies. I'm told you have to see it to believe it. Fabric stacked to the ceiling all around you

Addresses for most of the shops mentioned and more are at http://quiltart.com/lancaster.html
And http://quiltart.com/ lists a lot of shows/activities

Obies? OMG! You really won't believe it. The only word I can use is W O W !!! That place is packed to the rafters with fabric! You can't pull anything out without any help or you'll end up with bolts on top of you. Each aisle is jammed packed from floor to ceiling with bolts. Only 1 person can walk down the aisle at a time. It's an overwhelming experience!!

I'm here in Lancaster County. Actually live just a few miles south of Lancaster. Can do lunch if you'd like to meet up and can help you navigate to some of the shops. Just let me know! You can send me a PM, as sometimes I don't get back to the same threads on the board.

For a quilter, all roads lead to Intercourse, PA. If you have time it may be worth stopping in Goodville as well. I have not been but I have heard of amazing fabric deals in their Fabric superstore. You are going to have fun! Pack light and bring extra bags because you will be ditching everything to stuff your bags with fabric at amazing prices.

Goodville is where Obies is and right down the road about 2 min is the superstore. Both places are amazing!

What's the address of the superstore?

I don't know the addy, but it's on the same road/hwy as Obies. It sits back off the road, so you really don't see the building when driving by, but there is a sign
