I go to Conroe, TX, a lot to visit a friend who is a quilter too. I love going into Quilter's Quarter there in Conroe. Friendly people, great selection of batiks. I've taken classes there in the past. They have the bus going down to the International Quilt Festival on Wednesday night for preview. We have driven to Spring to go to the Old Town quilt shop several times. It's probably about 20 miles between the two quilt shops.
