Live in southwestern PA -- several miles south of State College. The weather is similiar; but, different. What I read above is correct about the leaves here; but, over the past few years it's not certain. The(local) Shop Hop for me took me north for 3 or 4 shops that (of course) were south of State College; but, I do know in the past I called a couple of the shops there looking for fabric I couldn't find on the Internet and they did have it. If you're looking for quilt stuff in the western part of PA and willing to travel a bit -- there's a lot. (going south towards Pittsburgh) If you're looking to leaves, it depends -- we really have had different times the past few years. Being a life-long resident of western PA (south)it's hard to predick the leaf colors. Last year wasn't great, the year before (at least in our area) was spectacular.
