Ok, those of us in Utah- help each other out. Time to list quilt shops in the area to visit! My suggestion- make the "famous" part of your vacation! The first 3 are all Salt Lake City area- all 3 could be hit in one day with minimal driving.
My entries for the "famous" to visit:
Ranae Haddin! (Red Snappers, famous quilt teacher)
Quilts on the Corner
212 E Main St.
Sandy, UT 84070
Phone: 801-503-7012
Email: [email protected]
Golden Threads! (featured on quilting shows and videos of quilting techniques)
445 N. 700 W.
North Salt Lake, UT 84054
Toll Free Phone: 888-477-7718
Fax: 855-579-3635
E-Mail: [email protected]
Handiquilter! (maker of the Long Arm machines, they have a 3,000 square-foot education studio and take tours- notice the address is the same as Golden Threads- hit two at once!)

I did that not too long ago as well. Had to visit some fabric shops while away. :-) We are planning a Michigan trip over the 4th of July (to Mackinac Island....can't wait!) I have an english paper piecing table runner project already cut out and waiting to be hand sewn while riding in the car and any leisure time while there.

Hi Mimicrystal! I live about 25 mi north of you in Oklahoma!
We went on a vacation the end of March to see our daughter in Colorado and then rented a car and drove across eastern Wyoming to see our DGD who attends Montana State in Billings. I didn't bring anything either, and eastern Wyoming that time of year is desolate! And all I could think about was "Why didn't I bring some handwork"! THEN, we stopped for gas in Buffalo, WY, which has under 4000 pop. It was a beautiful little town with well-kept shops along the main street. Then I saw it....a quilt shop! We bought gas and then parked downtown and DH sat in the car and read a book while I spent some time "feeling the fabric" and looking at the notions! I bought a little double heart template to use on the border of a baby quilt I was in the process of putting together. It was just the fix I needed! I'm quilting it now. New granddaughter due mid-August!

Here's the template - just perfect!
