I lived in Juneau for a while. It's beautiful country down there for sure.

Sew, Where are you in Oregon? I grew up in Sweet Home.

I've been in Beaverton for 17 years. It's where DH is from and all of his family is nearby. Mine is spread all over the country. Sure do miss Alaska though.

I'm glad for all this info. My hubby and I just signed up for an Alaska cruise. We'll be on Princess and taking the Denali extension and ending up with a day in Fairbanks. It would be nice to do visits to some of the shops.

Have fun in Alaska! You will love it!

I went to the Silver Thimble when we went several years ago. They have lots of flannels. Really nice shop. Take an extra bag to tote home your purchases in. I wish I had know about the others when I was there. :-(

I wonder if my sister-in-law would still like to buy me a ticket? Haven't been to Anchorage in 20 years but I know there is a big quilting community there.

I just did that cruise in May with a quilter friend! I missed the Juneau shop, Changing Tides, because I was gone on an excursion the whole time we were in port. My friend said it was nice. We really liked the shops in Ketchikan & Skagway. We found a nice shop at Pike Place Market in Seattle too. It is in the section near a brewery & a chocolate store.
Happy Anniversary! Have a wonderful time! It's a great cruise, wish I could go again this month!
