Headed to Paducah, KY!
 

My travel friend is coming in Saturday....we will be heading out for our 2 week road trip. Will be spending 3 days in Paducah. Not just for the quilt store (well, maybe) but also for the history of the area as well. My friend is not a quilter, but she always manages to find SOMETHING for me to make for her. If it involves a specialty ruler, also purchases that and is kind enough to let me keep it. She was impressed when we when to Keepsake Quilting - and she did find 3 things that she wanted done. We love traveling together!

any chance you will be on 64 from louisville through southern indiana .....there is a cute quilt shop between new albany and corydon...
have you been to paducha before?

Have a wonderful trip. Check out the row by row experience and the quilting hub to catch shops along the way. I'm headed there in two weeks with my sister. She is not a quilter either but we will have fun. Safe travels

Enjoy your trip and hope your blessed with good travelling weather. Enjoy the time together with your friend.

Always nice to have a companion to go with. Enjoy your trip.

Sounds like you are going to have a wonderful time. Road trips are the best and to add quilt shops along the way, well, who could ask for any thing more?

You might want to check out the quilt museum.

Sounds like fun. I would love to stop by at Hancock of Paducah and say hi to Justin Hancock. This quilt shop is a family run business, a father and his two sons.

We will be going west through NYS, then down through Ohio - stopping overnight in Columbus, then down to Paducah. We do scout out the quilt stores along the way. I will have to check the Garmin to see if we will be going by New Albany and Corydon. Thanks for the heads up!

Sounds like a dream trip. I have been to Paducah (it is about time for another such trip) and enjoyed everything about it. The history of the area was also fun to explore. I enjoyed Hancock's, the museum and Eleanor Burns store. Have fun and be safe.

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.)
