Northern Ontario to Calgary road trip - suggestions for shops wanted
 
Hello quilters - My friend and I am planning a (car delivery) trip from northern Ontario to Calgary Alberta in a few weeks.
We will be stopping at Cindy Bee's in Espanola, as well as a few shops in Saskatchewan(Moose Jaw and Moosimin). Those are the only ones we know about along the way.
We are open to suggestions for other shops along the route, so please provide some input! We will be taking the Trans Canada Highway for much of the route.

This is a nice shop in Winnipeg. http://www.quilt-as-desired.com/

https://www.facebook.com/SowenQuiltShop can't find a web site but the people at this shop were really nice too.

I see you're already going to Moosomin, I really liked Shirley's Sewing there.

Thimblebug - thanks for the leads!

(And the shop in Moosomin is on the "must go" list according to my friend, it's the shop she learned to quilt at.)

There is a nice shop in Sudbury Ont. It is off of Lasalle between Barrydowne and Falconbridge Hwy. Can't remember the street it is on

Thanks Nabobw, we hope to take the ferry from Tobermory to Manitoulin Island, then then mainland, so we might not get to Sudbury - I'll mark this one down for a "just in case"!

Hi there's Sew Many Treasures in Medicine Hat brilliant shop. Tell them Kim from UK sent you.
also there's a quilt shop in Strathmore which is on the Trans Can. If you have time there's Addies in Cochrane and Sugar Pine in Canmore.
Enjoy your road trip

There is Peachtree in Regina ( 140 Albert Street, Regina, SK, S4R 2N2. (306) 569-1552 ) Lovely shop and one of my sister's favourites. If you are spending some time in Moose Jaw, take the time to visit the Tunnels. www.tunnelsofmoosejaw.com Definitely worth the time. Have a great trip.

Wish I could hitch a ride. One sister in Regina, a Mom and sister in/near Saskatoon, a brother and brother in law in Calgary and countless nieces, nephews etc along the way.

Miss Purple Shoes and Ginger K - thanks for the add ons. The closer this trip gets, the more excited I get!
Ginger K - wish we had room to offer - very small car, four winter tires in the back along with a dog, the two of us and luggage (not to mention any quilting retail therapy acquired along the way!)
