The Quilt Shops Ohio, Quilt Shops WV, Traveling Quilter

Hubby and I traveled to Durham, NC to visit our daughter and future SIL.  
He always plans out our road trip and all the quilt shop stops.
I take photos and spend all the money tee hee.

First up is the bridge in Ohio.
Everytime we cross it I seem to be amazed and take a photo.
This one was pretty good during sunrise.


We had a beautiful sunrise to greet us as we began our trip from Michigan to NC.


I love how the rays look in this photo.


First stop was in Berlin Ohio.  
We stopped at Helping Hands and The Plaid Sheep.  
It is always a competition to see who will see the first buggy.


A LONG stop at Troyers was a lot of fun.  
See there, hubby liked this *much* better than the quilt shops!


This row of baked goods was NOT for the diet concious!


We stopped at Bolts and Quarters in Parkersburg WV.  A cute shop.  



We were heading for a couple of other quilt shops when we realized 
we would be leaving WV and going back into Ohio, lol.


This shop, Neff's, had a lot of things besides fabric.  This day they had a lot of Halloween fabrics.


The next stop was a place called Sew Happy.  I LOVED this little shop.  
We were warned they may or may not be open so call ahead if you plan a visit. 
Lucky for me they were open!


Found a few gems in here!


Oh look, back to WV, haha.


The little town of Parkersburg had a historic district so we thought we would drive around.  
We headed down Julia street.  We were NOT disappointed!


I was totally in LOVE with all of the homes we saw. 
This beauty was for sale by owner.  I think we need to buy this and move in!  
I took so many photos but will only share a few here.








Last stop before arriving at my daughter's place was this shop. 
 Calla Lily Quilts.  It was a big beautiful shop with a LOT of things to see. (and buy!)



Next up is our arrival at our daughter's place and the things we did there. 
We did go wedding dress shopping and she did find a dress.  
Unfortunately she forbade me sharing it or any of the photos LOL.  
Suffice it to say she made us all cry!

More of the trip to follow soon.

I love to visit Calla Lilly's. The ladies are so nice and fun not to mention helpful. There is another quilt shop not to far from there for you to visit the next time you are in NC.
