Shops Near Tryon, North Carolina?
#1

I will be in Tryon, North Carolina in September for the World Equestrian Games and am wondering if there are any quilt shops that I absolutely need to see?
Any other touristy things to do in that area?
Thanks! Watson

Hi Watson- Tryon is on the NC/SC border. Depending on how much free time you have there are lots of areas to check out. Hendersonville, NC is pretty close and has 4 quilt shops and a ton of antique and thrift stores. Georgia Bonesteel used to have her quilt store in her husband's hardware store there. Her store no longer exists now, but I stopped in once years ago to meet her and shop. She wasn't there, but I purchased one of her books and she autographed it and sent it to me in Minnesota. You will be a little over an hour from Shelby, NC...that is where Leah Day is. I don't know if she is open to the public though. If you want to drive a couple hours you can go to Mary Jo's Cloth store in Gastonia, NC. There are tons of other shops in Asheville also. I lived in Asheville for two years before I moved way north to MN.... but I wasn't too much into quilting then. Have a great time. I will be in the Carolinas during that time also visiting family. Enjoy!

Watson must be at
Tyron by now. The flooding in Nc is just awful, sure hope she finds a lot of nice places to go and has a nice time, her horse is beautiful. I have been watching some of it and yes those horses are awesome! How wonderful to be able to go see the best and then go finding fun quilting places too.
