Vacation shopping
In 3 weeks my DH and I will start a 3 week vacation. We plan on stopping in Id., Az., NM., Tx., Ak, Mo., and Mi., To see family and friends, and visit some tourist places. (of course we will be traveling through other states too) When we head home we will be taking highway 2 northern route. I plan on stopping at the 3 Dudes in Az. and MSQC in Mo. Where else would you recommend? We are giving ourselves plenty of time to do what ever we want as we go east, because I know my DH, once he gets on 2, heading west, it will be a straight shot home with few stops. By then he will be missing his own bed LOL

If you have a "smart phone" there is an app named "Quilt Shops" and it will list any and all quilt shops near you. It's a great way to find shops you may have never heard of. (Missouri Star also has an app.)

Nice quilt shop and fabric in Branson, Mo. And you could see a show -the best is Baldknobbers, the original that
started up Branson. I love the quilt shop on the strip, and they have very unusual patterns. Don't miss the restaurant with the Hot Tossed Buns. Great food.

If you'll be in North East/Central Arkansas, Marshalls Dry Goods in Batesville is a must stop. They manufacture their own fabric, plus they have tons of quilting fabric at almost wholesale prices. Plan on spending awhile.

I can vouch for QuiltingVagabond, I live in Middlebury (between Goshen & Shipshewana) and can count 10 (or more) shops within a 20 mile radius (2 are less than a mile from my house...and my stash proves it! 
). Depending on where you are headed in Michigan there are several great shops in and around the Kalamazoo area too.
