I'm outside of Charlotte, NC. Peak leaf viewing in the NC mountains is around the last week of October. Lots and Lots of quilt shops and out of the way places through the mountains around Ashville. Closer to Charlotte in the town of Gastonia is MaryJo's just off exit 21 off I-85. People make vacation plans just to visit MaryJo's from states and states away

Sweetie a month may not be long enough to see all there is to see, up through the areas you will be traveling. Be prepared to take lots & lots of pics and a notebook to document all that you see & where. We went from here in Central Okla. out East I-40, 9 yrs ago and then traveled all the way up the coast to Maine & into Canada. I wish I had documented everything. I have forgotten so much!!! You will just love this trip. These posts are making me want to load up & do this again.

Paducah has Hancocks and Elanore Burns shop.
Enjoy your trip!!

that is a link of quiet a few quilt shops. If you're around on a Tuesday you could go to Roots. It's a farmers market/flea market on http://www.rootsmarket.com/
The Kitchen Kettle Village in Bird in hand is nice http://www.kitchenkettle.com/. Also Gettysburg is a nice place to visit. There is alot of History there.
Hopefully this is what you're looking for. I'm jealous of your trip. Maybe one day...
