My friends and I went to several shops which we thought were wonderful! We still talk about that trip to this day! We went on a bus trip there last year, actually to Lincoln to see the quilts that the University of Nebraska. Next time you go, stop in Lincoln and go to the Museum, there are plenty of quilts and textiles on display, and I'm sure your husband will enjoy it just as much. I'm from Chicago...but my friends and I agreed it was the best museum we had been in...probably because it was small and very well put together. Grace Snyder's Petit Point Quilt was on display there too, under glass, we were told that after it's taken off display it may be put away for 20 years or longer so future generations can enjoy it!Maureen and P.D. the Pet Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01325663419910718589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26611036.post-1152019842807039242006-07-04T08:30:00.000-05:002006-07-04T08:30:00.000-05:00So it's Green work!!Congrats on becoming a Stash q...So it's Green work!!<BR/><BR/>Congrats on becoming a Stash quilter!

I have a 4 day weekend, though, so am trying to catch up now. Sounds like you had a good time visiting your son(and an even better time on the drive home! VBG. I'm thinking about next Friday driving to the Versailles area and visiting the Amish lady's fabric store. I've never got to go there without DH!

I keep it with the suitcase, for trips "outside", that means any place that isn't Alaska. It's always fun to investigate new quilt shops. I wish there was a book like this for beads too. My fabric stash is pretty full, but I can always squeeze in a few more beads!Deb Hardmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538758042536664177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26611036.post-1151778482122072132006-07-01T13:28:00.000-05:002006-07-01T13:28:00.000-05:00What a brilliant book - who'd be without it on a j...What a brilliant book - who'd be without it on a journey :o)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352283065863856112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26611036.post-1151777233132749982006-07-01T13:07:00.000-05:002006-07-01T13:07:00.000-05:00Lovely fabrics :-)Lovely fabrics :-)Hannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977133647814863003noreply@blogger.com
