Keepsake Quilting
I went to Lake Winnesaukapee to visit Keepsake Quilting, the largest quilting shop in the US. I was totally overwhelmed on my first visit (the day I arrived at Lake Winne, of course) - there was just so many bolts of fabric, so many patterns and every time I turned around, there was more. I went back on each of the next two days too and found things I hadn't seen on my first visit. They have a large range of Civil War fabrics and wonderful patterns. I ended up spending a lot of money but as the ladies in the shop said - you're only here once. The shop is staffed by bery friendly ladies and is filled with women (and their husbands who are extremely patient I have to say) who like me were gobsmacked. I spoke with people from all over the place including one lady who was 81 and her daughter who had travelled 6 hours to visit. And the shop is only a two hour drive from Boston....yes I am planning a possible diversion when I get to Boston. I am hooked.
