Let’s see, that’s a 17 hour drive? I do love the store, but it’s not really different from their catalogue. However I will say that if you were willing to spend some time with us in NH, you could find plenty around here to make that kind of drive more than worthwhile because while I wouldn’t say the store by itself is worth an 18 hour drive (only because you can find all the same stuff in the catalogue and their in store clearance sales aren’t super grand), going to the store plus seeing the White mountains, driving the Kangamangus Highway, visiting Lake Winnipesauke, and maybe taking a drive up Mount Washington, all combined would make the trip more than worth it. The store is big though, probably 2.5 times bigger than your normal quilt store. Plus we have a myriad of quilt stores on the NH/MA border, so if you head a little south of Keepsake Quilting, you could do a really fun shop hop. There has to be at least 8 to 10 stores within an one hour driving radius. Fall would probably be a good time to come, then you can leaf peep too. We have a very pretty state up here, I think you would love it. :)
