There is a great quilt shop in Hershey. They were even chosen to be in a magazine this spring of Top 10 shops. Here is their information.

Quiltmakers Cottage 1034 E Chocolate Ave Hershey, PA 17033 717~534~9900

And if you are coming back near Pittsburgh, there are a ton there!

PM kwhite. She lives in central PA and knows all the best places. Wish I could get there too!! Have a great time!

Hi to everyone from or near Akron, OH.
Since we are talking quilt shops in and around the area there can anyone tell me if the Yankee Peddler right outside of Akron is still in business? My sister and I used to visit that shop quite alot when we were looking for doll patterns.

Thanks
Nettie

Are you talking about the Yankee Barn that used to be in Hartville that used to sell doll patterns? If so that ones closed

Sorry to hear that! I loved the Barn shop!

Yes, that was the one I was talking about. I am sorry it closed. With such an interest in quilting these days I am surprised at the closing. My sister and I will be checking out all the other stores that have been listed here.
Thank you
Nettie

You will have fun on your trip, I can't wait to see you in Shipshewana, Indiana on September 7th with other members of the quilting board site.

We are planning to meet at Lolly's Quilt Shop at 3:30 pm. on September 7th and out for dinner. So if you want to come be sure to pin a piece of fabric on you so we will know you are a member of the quilting board site.

Also I will find the link for the Shipshewana, Indiana meet and greet. Hope you all can come and see us.

I just want to say THANK YOU for all of the great suggestions for my trip. I am leaving in 3 days and definitely looking forward to it! I will be meeting board members in Akron & Kent, Ohio Pittsburgh & Lancaster PA, Shipshewana Indiana, Madison, WI and Sioux Falls, SD!!! Meeting all of you will come close to making up for leaving my daughter 1600 miles away from home for the next year! LOL! I am looking forward to meeting many of you and seeing a part of the country I have never spent time in. I am feeling very blessed right now!

where and when are you meeting in Akron

We are still trying to work that out - you know how it is with different schedules! But working around moving my daughter in, I am available Wed. night, Thurs. afternoon or Friday morning. I am going to call the other 2 board members either Tues. night or sometime Wed. to see when they are available. How is your schedule? The more the merrier!!!
