Actually, it was a rainy morning, but we decided to venture north and check out two more quilt shops. The fog hanging over the mountains was a new sight for us to see. The roads were pretty steep but they were not nearly twisty as the ones to Smuggler's Notch.
The first quilt shop was in New Port, VT. It was called Countryside Fabrics. We used our GPS to get almost all the way there, but it could not pinpoint the store, so we had to call. If the trees had not been in the way, we probably could have seen the shop from the car. It was a nice shop with a friendly staff but a little out of the way for every day shopping.
As we were driving to the next shop we saw one quilt block on a barn. We also saw a covered bridge, signs that said "Moose Crossing" and "Alligator Crossing". We also saw several signs that the leaves are starting to turn but we are hoping we have a couple more weeks before we need to start snapping the camera like crazy.
In St. Albans, VT, we visited Forever Bloon Quilt Shop and More. This place is within driving distance, so it could become another regular stop. The talk in the shop was more about the impending hurricane residual effects.
These are my purchases for today. When the quarters are all together they look good, but when I photograph them they don't have the same appeal. Decided today that I will use a little of each fabric to make myself a purse as well. Thanks of inspiring that thought, Sharon.

One thing -- you might try using fabric with a more durable finish (like canvas) for the body.
