What will your route be? Where will you cross into the US?

I don't have suggestions for this area but whenever and wherever I travel I seek out quilt shops. It's a great way to see a variety of styles and fabric is what I buy for souvenirs. Hope you have a great trip!

If you have iOS, there's an awesome app called "Quilt Shops". Type any US city into the search bar and it maps the quilt shops.
Have be a safe and wonderful trip :) |
Check out Needle In A Haystack in Sherman, NY, near Findley Lake. It's a fabric outlet that does retreats and it's BEAUTIFUL! Here's the link. www.needleinahaystackretreat.com. And because of the retreats, they're not open Friday through Sunday. Enjoy PA!

We are flexible on our route either crossing into the USA via Niagara or At Kingston so we will probably enter on one route and exit by the other thereby making sure we do not backtrack and see as much new stuff as possible

Where in PA are you planning to go? It's a big state! If you're headed to the Lancaster area, there are some great shops along with Old Country Store which has just re-opened. If you can give us some target areas maybe we can give you some more hints/clues. Enjoy your trip.

I suggest that you google quilt shops on the internet. My husband and I were going to the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area a little while back. He went on line and made a list of various quilt shops he found there that would be in our general traveling area. We discovered that many of them were closed or totally out of business. We should have called ahead before we wasted our time driving up there. We ended up going to the Lancaster Quilt Show in downtown Lancaster at the time because there was nothing else. As a hand quilter I was disappointed as most of the show was devoted to the marketing of long arm machines.
