Sounds like you had a very enjoyable trip! Those are about 1.5 hours south of me, been wanting to go on a FART to Kidron and Berlin ... will have to check out Zinck's when I finally get to go! :) Would love to just get in the car and start driving...

sueisallaboutquilts ~ if you've hit those great places, send me a PM list!!! :) Looks like those are about 1/2 hour or a little more south of Massillon ~ it takes me about a good solid hour+ for me to get to Massillon from my house

One question a neighbor asked, does Zincks sell by the yd only? She gets fabric for making clothes for Grkids.

Zinks has a huge back room that sells not only quilting fabrics but fabrics for clothing. A lot of it is only $3.00 a yard. I have bought a lot from them for Civil War clothing.

Grandma Fannies is right next door to the year around Christmas store...that is another must for everyone to go to. We get ornatments every year from there and they have 3 stories of nothing but Christmas. My hubby always takes a good book with him when we go down there because he knows it will be a loooooong day!!!!
