Which Stores to Visit
My husband and I will be visiting in the Boston area in Oct/Nov. When he has finished his work we will also be travelling around up in the north east to see the autumn colours and trees. What my husband doesn't know is that I will be arranging the itinerary to include as many fabric shops as I can manage to find, or that the 'ladies of the board' can advise me on. I already have the address for Keepsake quilting but would be grateful to know of other establishments you could recommend.
As you probably know, fabric prices in Australia are astronomical compared to yours and I will be bringing an extra suitcase to fill to bring home
Thanks to everyone on this board for all your help, tutorials, pictures, advice, ideas, company, fun and laughs.
You make my day!!

Come visit me! I work in a shop in Montpelier, Vermont. A Quilter's Garden is the name. We also have a list of shops at http://www.vermontshophop.com/directions.htm.

Thanks to all the ladies with their suggestions. Google Earth and I have spent a little bit of time and managed to slot all of these towns into the road trip. Lets hope it all works out. I certainly hope to get to the Quilter's Garden to meet Paulswalia. Keep an eye out in October. Thanks again.

I don't have a suggestion but I will keep this thread for the next time I get to visit my sister in NH. We did visit one shop the last time I was there but I made her take me to the Norman Rockwell home instead of making a real shop hop.
Have a wonderful trip and keep us posted on your visit and acquisitions.

In Boxborough, Mass is a darling little shop called the Quilted Crow. It's about an hour west of Boston.
