I'm packing today for my trip to Wichita, Ks. My son and granddaughter live there . I'm really not excited about driving by myself ( hubby can't make this trip) as I've gotten older I've become more cautious. Anyway should be around a 12 hour drive. Does anyone know any good shops on my way.I start in Louisville to St. Louis, to Kansas City then down to Wichita.
I actually will touch 5 states..ha KY, Indiana, Illinois,Missouri and Kansas.
and Please say a quick prayer for my safety. I leave early tomorrow morn!

don't know of any quilt shops on the way but wanted to offer you encouragement for your drive. Having had to make an 800 mile trip one way by myself in the last couple weeks to to see my mom before her death.Let me suggest Rest breaks> Pull into the rest area, lock your doors,and rest your eyes. It sure helped me several times.

Do you have a GPS? I went from Oklahoma to North Dakota last year on my first big girl trip and it was a life saver!!!

Let us know what you find in Wichita, my son was just transferred to the Air Force Base there and I'm sure I will be making a trip soon.

yes, my husband is letting me use his Tom Tom
That I hope keeps me going inthe right direction! :)
My goodness joykey...my trip is about 765 miles one way! uurrghh
I will rest!

There is a quilt shop in Wichita called Hen Feathers. I did a google search and I think that there might be enough here to keep you busy! LOL

good luck on your trip,one way or the other see if you can hit paduca kentucky.i've heard theres some great shops there an in bronson mo. i know there was one there an it had so great stuff there.don't drive faster than your gardein angle can fly.

this is my grandaughter and son...my reason for KS!!!

I plan to stay in the slow lane...at least that is what my hubby said to do...I want to see the land..when my husband drives the cities whip by so fast don't see a thing!

There are some nice quilt shops there in Wichita.
My MIL goes to them alot, too bad she won't buy me stuff from there. lol
Anyway....once you get there, just pick up the phone book....you'll find them. I know there is one that is/was right across from the mall. I think it was on the side where the Olive Garden is.....
Have a great time and drive safe!
