In Sevier county there is Mountain Stitches by Susan, the Cherry Pit and Machine Quilting by Iva. There are several in a Knoxville. Sewing Machines Etc, Dizzy Divas, Gina’s Bernina, Midsouth Sewing, there may be another couple. Also in Blount county there are at least 2. Rooster fabrics may be the name of one. There is one in Greenback, and Pappy’s May still be in a storefront. Hope you enjoy your visit.

You are going to one of my favorite places!!! My parents had a condo in Gatlinburg so for 12 years we would go there about two times a year. They sold their condo 5 years ago. So I was making a few things back then, but not as much as now. I remember going to Foothills of the Smokies Quilt Store in Cosby (about 35 minutes from Gatlinburg) -- they were very friendly. https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/tenn...quilt-shop-tn/ I did a quick google and there will be a couple places in the area that look good.

May I suggest eating at the Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant? Wonderful home cooked food with free Apple Juleps and Apple Fritters -- yum! http://applewoodfarmhouserestaurant.com/ In addition I think you will really like the Artist Loop in Gatlinburg - 11 miles of so many artists and craft stores. https://www.gatlinburgcrafts.com/ And spend as much time as you can in the National Park -- so many beautiful areas! We really love the waterfalls -- some are right off the road, some an easy hike, and some are quite a trek. The visitor center will have a guide which places them on a map and tells you how easy it is to get to....or go to the National Park Service website to pre look at their brochures and tips https://www.nps.gov/grsm/index.htm If you have any other questions about the area please feel free to ask -- we loved the area so much both my girls did their High School senior pictures there.

One of the quilts on my to-do list is a picture quilt of the mountains to represent our time there. Enjoy!

here is my updated Bday list - I am so looking forward to opening them!

i’ve been To the Cosby store many years ago.
The Cade’s Cove area is our favorite. One year we spent a few days watching a mother bear and her cubs in the valley below us.

Thanks for the link!
Thanks Wesing for all the hints. I think that might be over dear hubby’s fabric store visits in one week!

BTW, LP is LottieParker - I was referring to my "to send" list and figured that one out

Wondering if Jaba has received my card and candies yet? They should have been there by now?

PamelaOry

I’m wondering the exact same thing...

Sorry for not posting yesterday but I was in and out of doctor offices and the lab. A few more side effects from the chemo and radiation that we have to deal with. The following were received yesterday, none in the mail today. I show that I still have 6 to receive.
