Can't you shop over there for me too? I have a huge wishlist :D

I made two quilts for Si-Si so far. One is a small rag quilt with her name on it and the other is a "big girl" quilt my husband insisted I make becasue she was turning two. I will try to post pics.

All,
I will be traveling on orders so I can bring up to 15 bags back with me as long as each and every one is within the standard airline regulation on weight/measurements. I can bring everything back to Afghanistan with me then turn around and send it home free. No postage either way. A win-win situation. I am going to hoard everything under my bed until my husband gets back to Germany then I am going to send everything to him. Meanwhile...I will knee deep in fabric. Also, I love love love fat quarters so I will be hitting all the stores for them. I only buy deep discounted FQs so wherever there is a sale I will be there. I get my big shot too!

Erika, I'm so happy for you to be making your trip home...to see your grandbaby, who is getting so grown up...and secondly to go to a quilt show, visit quilt shops and see what all the quilt shops have to offer.
I don't know how long you will be in the US, but I'm sure every minute will be taken up on your schedule. Wish you would be coming to Cent. Missouri...I know a fabulous fabric/quilt shop about an hour from me. A very wide selection of fabrics, notions, etc. Most everything you would want in the line of quilting..
Enjoy your vacation...stay safe and have LOTS OF FUN!!!

I live in Central OH and my favorite LQS is called the Red Rooster. It is in Dublin OH. (which is basically Columbus)
They have a ton of fabric crammed into the shop. Alot of unique fabric. They also have a nice size 40% off section. They do have a website. You can google them Red Rooster Quilt shop dublin. OH. Oh and about 15 mins from there in a town called Marysville (just right upSt Rte 33) there is a little shop called Lone Star Quilt shop (They also have a website) She has more Batiks than I have ever seen in one place. I cant believe how many thousands of bolts of fabric she has crammed into her little shop..
Have a ton of fun while you are here.

Yup! I will be at both of these shops. I already got there names and locations. Thanks for the confirmation.
