Hi again, here is the proposed itinerary of our 10 days quilt shopping trip with additional 6 ladies, so I have to rent a Ford E350 :-)
Flight Vienna - Chicago (1 day) Chicago - Paducah (1 day) Paducah (3 days) Paducah - Chicago (1 day) Chicago (3 days) - robertssewingcenter Flight back to Vienna (1 Day) Any suggestions? Too busy? any places in 50km distance to visit additional? Thank you so much Gottfried |
Hi Gottfried!
I actually live just outside of Paducah and my 88 year old mother is a tour guide at the National Quilt Museum. We'd be delighted to show you around! What dates are you going to be in the area? We are life-long residents of the area and love to help visitors. |
There are many smaller quilt shops in the area that you'd love to visit as well.
|
I've been to Keepsake quilting; I've been there and it certainly did not look big enough to hold 10000 bolts; I wonder where they had them hidden. I wish some of those above were near me. :(
|
Also, any of your ladies speak French? My niece is fluent in French and I can get by if people use simple words and speak slowly.
We have a number of wonderful shops besides Hancocks that would be delighted to have you visit. I told my mom about your trip and she's all excited...she will gather all of her friends and we'll caravan around the countryside to all of the different shops and attractions. |
Here's some links that might help you make plans.

@Garden Gnome: thank you, I never thought that there is a quilting town anywhere in USA - I take a look at the internet. But Missouri is far away from LA. @lfty298: I have the feeling that at shoes there are too many people to and the lectures are complicated for my wife, she is far from perfect in English (and my English is poor too). But anyway - thank you for the hints to textile museums. |
Here's a list of vendors that have already signed on to set up at the Spring Quilt Week. http://www.quiltweek.com/locations/s...pah18-vendors/

There is Grubbers in Minnesota. There is so much there it is mind boggling. Lots of older fabrics too.
|
I know that Missouri Star is the largest seller worldwide for precuts... I am not sure about fabric from bolts.
