I'll be visiting family this week and spending a day at the Int'l Quilt Festival in Chicago - any suggestions regarding local shops to visit while in the area? Thanks in advance for your ideas ![Thumb Up](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/thumbup.png)

I live in Chicago's western suburbs and will also be at the Quilt Festival next weekend. ![Thumb Up](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/thumbup.png)
Some local stores I like are:
Thimbles in Lockport
Quilters Quest in Woodridge
Prairie Stitches quilt shop in Oswego
Roberts Sewing Center in Crest Hill
Quiltfabric.com just closed, sadly

Thank you Elise! I was just on the Quilters Quest website before I jumped back here and saw your list of recommendations. I'll be in Lisle so not too awful far from any of the above shops. Last visit to Chicago included a wedding in Oswego so I'm familiar with the location. I hope you enjoy your time at the show!
Patrice - I'm sure it will be a fun day
I purposely arranged my visit to coincide with the show and my cousin (who doesn't quilt but does needlepoint) has agreed to spend as much time at the show as I wish! My plan is to 'test drive' the Bernina 770QE and every long arm machine I can get my hands on
I'm really excited to see the quilts entered in the show too - I'm sure they will be amazing. Houston is on my bucket list - someday!
