Jackman's Fabrics – in St. Louis
Quilted Garden- Edwardsville, Ill
These are all in the Columbus area:
Red Rooster, Quilt Beginnings, North; QuiltTrends; Glass Thimble; Sew to Speak; Quilt Beginnings, East and Always in Stitches - .
Quilts Plus, Indianapolis ( on the way back home).
I think the 33 shoppers on the bus helped out the local economy in Columbus, especially the quilt shops.
All the shops greeted us and had treats for us. However the best part of my trip was that I met up with Cyndi from bluebirdswing.blogspot.com at Quilt Trends and then she followed the bus to two more shops before she needed to head home. We had a nice visit and had a friendly chat.
Cyndi had a nice surprise for me. She made me one of her lovely handbags just for me using "Hello Betty" fabric. Now just how special was that. She included some lovely smell good items inside the bag. .
One more picture. Now just how clever is this?
Made if home safe and tired last night.

What a trip!!!! Bet it was fun, though.
