I grew up in NH & just started quilting last year. Found out about KQ this year & love what I see, but have been in FL for past 12 yrs. Never have time for wonderful trips like that when we go back now. Family keeps us hopping. I keep telling DH I want to go though. I'm hoping! :-)

I happened on their annual 4th July sale, and have never had so much fun in a quilt store, wish it was closer !

My aunt, (who now lives in LA) vacations in NY every summer (we are from Lake George) and traveled to NH to Keepsake Quilting store. She arrived with $360.00 and left with $0.00. She said she bought beautiful kits for 70% off and fabric that was on sale for next to nothing...of course she was looking for bargins. She is 71 and says she will not have to buy any more fabric in her lifetime. She was awed by the store. Of course she sent me a photo of her in front of the store...I call that unnecessary teasing, don't you? LOL

And my husband liked the porch where he could wait - and wait and.....wait!

I just spent a ton of time there last weekend. Yes there's lots to see and it was a bit overwhelming.....but 1 lady who worked there spent almost a half hour working with me to find one special fabric to match "just right". She was wonderful and couldn't have been easier to work with. Of course for me the shop is only 45 minutes away - I have to be really careful not to spend too much time there. In the sale section fabric were around 7.99 or less and there were many available that looked wonderful. Most fabrics were in the $10.00 range in the store. I didn't think the prices were crazy expensive, but it still hurts!

My friend and I are planning a trip to Keepsake just for the annual yard sale. we plan to make a 5 day trip and visit Boston and quilt shops around the area. Any suggestions on where to stay (hotel or B&B is fine) to do day trips to quilt shops near that area? Where is Glens Falls and Queensbury?

are you kidding me?? this is definitely not a bunch to get together again with!!! first you are with a bunch of quilters who dont want to shop at a quilt shop and then they want to leave there to eat at MCDONALDs!! omg!

I have only been once and can't wait to go back. It was during Laconia bike week so while my DB and DH went to the nearby diner to eat breakfast, I went to KQ. It was sensory overload for me, but the good kind. Unfortunately I knew I only had about an hour it wasn't time to do much of anything except go into the batiks room and hyperventilate! The sales girls are wonderful there. They are the shop that told me about Roxanne hand quilting needles. Next time I go, I won't have the men folk in tow, or let them go to the hill climb so I will have several hours.

There are a lot of shops in the Glens Falls area. I love Adirondack Quilts.
