Also, be sure to pick up a store catalog because you probably won't get a chance to see/buy everything that you might like. The catalog may make for fun reading on your trip. Drive safely and have a great trip!

Just be aware that Hancock's of Paducah is NOT one of the Hancock's chain stores, nor is it a cute little quilt shop!!! It is a warehouse, and it's a great place to surround yourself with quality fabric choices! And not just quilter's cottons, but beautiful home dec fabrics too, if you are in the market for those. Here is their on-line catalog, but there is nothing like seeing all this fabric in one place! And I always stock up on batting when I'm there.

The National Quilt Museum is fabulous....especially if you manage to get there when it's not too crowded. I don't enjoy it during the AQS show, but much prefer it when it's really quiet! Almost a cathedral-like atmosphere!

sewengel OFFLINE Posts: 606 Thank you received: 173	My DH and I will be driving to Kentucky in October and was trying to decide to take a side trip and go to Paducah. I know the quilt museum is there, but I know very little about Hancocks. I am sure it would be worth the trip, but just wanted some input from all you wonderful TQS members. We only have a day and then still need to get to Cincinatti, too. Thanks, Sharon
