Recommend Berlin, OH along with the towns around it of Walnut Creek, etc. There are at least 4 fabric shops in Berlin along with wonderful Amish type restaurants. Walnut Creek, just down the road, also has a couple of terrific restaurants. The Inn at Walnut Creek had good prices.

Charm, OH is 5 miles away, and has Millers Dry Goods. If you go, make sure you check out the basement sale area.

Indianapolis, IN has at least 5 wonderful quilt shops. Always in Stitches in Noblesville is very large with a variety of crafts also. Nice colorful new stock. Quilts Plus along 86th is always full, Quilt Quarters just off 86th and Michigan used to be owned by Kaye England and is known for the huge selection of modern and colorful fabric. These are all on the north side. The Back Door is great and on the south side. Loads of new product.

In Paducah, be sure and stop by Kirchoffs Bakery downtown. They do a stunning sandwich service during the quilt show and I always have difficulty deciding on a baked item to take away.

Well, I'd like to travel with you, too! Lucky that you have such a close friend. Have fun.

Do you know the name of the quilt shop? My DH and I are heading to southern Indiana, Madison to be specific, and although I swore to myself I wouldn't get any more fabric, I can still look, right? lol Thanks!

Just today I stopped for my first time at The Quilting Bee in Georgetown, IN (exit 118 on I-64). It's a really cute shop with lots of fabric! It's between New Albany & Corydon but not too close if you're going to Madison. They are closed Suns & Mons.

If you are going through North Carolina at all, be sure to stop at MaryJo's. It's gigantic, and the fabric prices are great. (Wish I lived closer. Been there once.)
