Road Trip!

Since my machine needed to be dropped off at a shop a good distance away, it was a great excuse for a road trip with a few of my quilting friends. Our first stop was the farmers' market in Lewisburg, PA...I was so overwhelmed by all the sights, sounds and smells that I forgot to take pictures in the short time that we were there. I'm sure I'll be down again soon, so maybe then I'll take some photos.

After buying some yummy Amish baked goods and some spring produce (local rhubarb and North Carolina strawberries), the next stop was Verna's Fabrics in Mifflinburg, about a 15-minute drive (by car, probably a bit longer by Amish buggy) from Lewisburg.


This store is owned by Mennonites, so there is so much more in there than just plain old cotton fabric. Plenty of polyester, too. Verna has a great selection of pre-quilted fabrics and great flat-fold bargains. Her quilting fabric selection is extensive (including batiks!) and at great prices.

After having lunch at the Old Turnpike Restaurant in Mifflinburg, we headed back north for our last stop at Our Gathering Place quilt shop in Montoursville. Look at those yummy sherbet-colored batiks...

I left my machine down at OGP for servicing...I guess that means another excuse for a road trip when I have to pick it up...any takers?
