Thanks to Paula Stuart-Warren who is attempting to locate good quilting shops in the Springfield, Illinois region so that we can have an informal Genea-Quilters Field Trip during the 2011 FGS Conference Sept 7-10. I have been holding back because my oldest daughter is expecting a baby, but her due date has now been changed from 7 Sept to August 30th. Good thing, since I am scheduled as a luncheon speaker during FGS. (but I digress!)
From Paula:
So far this is what I have found:
http://www.sewunique.org/
http://peacenapplique.com/ (in Rochester, IL, 8 miles from Springfield)
Maybe these folks could give you some suggestions:

And see the July 19th posts about the two shops I already sent you: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-55172-1.htm.
OK, gang, have any of us visited the shops in question?
Just wondering what we might do to arrange a little visit, but would like your input.
If I'm not mistaken - their are not many quilt shops in the Springfield, Illinois area. There are some that you can get to - but none within a 15 minute or so drive. Each would require a bit of distance between them.
