Hi Erika, I am in Mansfield, Ohio and have never been to the festival in Columbus. But there is an Amish Community called Berlin in Ohio that is North East of Columbus. It has a quilt museum, store, and it has lighthouse galore. I went through there on my way home from VA. It is like a quilting village. It is a must see!!

Thank you for your service to our countries freedom. I was in the service and spent 2 yrs in Miesau, Germany. Wasn't a quilter then, I gues that is a good thing. Wear a name tag to the Columbus show so if I make it down there I will be able to spot you and introduce myself. I know what it is like to be gone from home for a long period of time. Embelish, trips home is so infrequent. Where are you going to be exactly? My daughter lives in Columbus.
If you have oportunity get into the live chat here and talk to other quilters all over. Have a wonderful time with gd. |

I've been to the quilt site for a store in Berlin. I will try to make it there. |

I have been so caught up in the European experience that I never gave thought about coming home to do anything other then see my little Si-Si until I became a quilter. Now I feel as if I am missing out on the ultimate experience. I have never been to a quilt-in, took classes, mingled with like minded people, do a shop hop in person, trade blocks, belong to a guild, visited other quilters, see a real stash etc. Have you ever tried buying sewing furniture, fabric and notions in Germany? There is a little here and a little there but not much for quilters to really get into it. I am going to my first quilt festival in Columbus, OH in a little over two weeks. Please quilters answer this: If you were in my shoes what as a quilter I MUST see and do in Atlanta and Columbus? ~Erika.
Thanks and take care, Sherryl Candlequilter Hugs, Sherryl Candlequilter |
Columbus also has Quilt Beginnings, which looks like a fabulous place. Or, if you get out to Dublin, they have a branch there as well. And, The Glass Thimble.
