The Quilter's Travel Companion is a great resource. The online edition only lists those shops who paid to be on the website. The book has over 1500 more shops than what shows on the site. I don't have a website, but I have an ad in the book. Expressions By Ewe in British Columbia. By the way, if you are travelling to Alaska thru B.C. please stop by.

Thank you for that. I am going to order a copy of the book. Just have to check if they have a secure web site otherwise will phone them. Would love to visit Alaska if I have enough time.
Thanks again,
Sharyn

wonderful!! it's so much fun to visit quilting shops when traveling, you have to take a break when driving, and what better way than a quilt store!!

Thanks so much for posting the link - I have seen the book, but thought it was a little expensive. I usually search the web, but this will be so much easier!!

Thank you for the link. I used to have a book that listed them but it is way out of date now. And with my ipad, I can look them up even when I don't have my book with me.

Thanks for sharing, Kutnso

Rabs ... to be listed, the store has to pay for it!

I've seen the book, and for that reason, I have refused to buy it.


Here's what I've done ...

I have an address book that I keep in the car, ready for spontaneous visits. I sort by city/town and if I am there or know I'm going to be, I have what I need.

As I find it, I include store name, address, phone #, website, email, contact names etc. I often can remember there's a quilt store in a town, but where? or the name? ... I've got it ready.

Likewise, I'll include other want-to-go-to attractions in the book.

Handy-Dandy ... Easy-Peasy!

Thank you for sharing this link! I've marked a couple of shows on my calendar for this summer and next fall.
