I want to take a road trip - maybe 1-2 hrs. from home and would like to visit as many quilt shops as possible along the way. How would I go about finding the shops within that distance? Thanks in advance. I know someone out there would know.

Google! :) I have googled quilt shops in the towns I am headed to, gotten addresses, and then created a mapquest map with the addresses for the trip. :) It was fun!

Google "Missouri Shop Hop" or another area that is close to you and it should provide you with a list of shops. Be sure to call any store(s) you choose as internet info is not always up to date. HAVE FUN!

Google rocks

I went to google and put in Missouri quilt shops. Word of warning though -- when I did it for Oregon, I discovered it hadn't been updated and about 1/2 of the shops were closed!! :(
