Thank you all so much for your help - will deffinately look up the stores in Birmingham!!

I am going to have to sweet talk my poor long suffering friend - she is with me on the long drive north and - bless her - she endures fabric stores with me whenever I visit her!!! She is also making her first quilt!!! Which I expect I will get to finish for her when I arrive!!! Or at least quilt!!!

I'll let you all know when we have a route planned!

Yes, there are a couple of quilt shops in Birmingham and near there. Can't remember their names but if you just check on line or in a telephone book I'm sure you'll find them. Also, just google "quilt guild Birmingham, AL" and you should come up with a list. Have a agreat time!!!
