Hersey PA Show July 2015

Mom and I stayed in a La Quinta near SFO on Tuesday 7/21.  On Wednesday we were up early changed planes in Phoenix where Karen joined us then to Philly PA.  We rented a car and drove the 1 1/2 hours to Hersey.  Getting there about 8:30.  We checked in and ate at one of the restaurant at the hotel.  Next morning we went to the Quilt Odyssey show that is at the Hersey Inn.

 It was a bit crowded but no worse then most shows.  Great vendors.  We stayed at the show most of the day and again ate at one of the restaurants at the hotel. That night drove into town and had dinner there then went to a grocery store for food for the mornings.  On Friday we went to Chocolate World then drove to Lancaster and check out several stores there.  Log Cabin Quilts 4 1/2 stars.  Dutchland Quilts 4 1/2 stars.  Lunch at Texas Roadhouse.  Zooks Fabrics 4 stars. One other store that was good but don't remember name.  The fabrics were reasonably priced.  Only Log Cabin Quilts had any selection of kits.  On Saturday we went to The Hersey story then to Burkholder Fabrics in Denver PA.  WOW.  A trailer outside where if you bought the whole bolt is was 3.99/yard.  Two large aisle in back with by the yard 3.99/yard.  Most fabrics were 9.49 yard (when at home we are paying 11 to 13 a yard).  Lots of jelly rolls, layer cakes, notions and patterns. Then drove to Martins Fabric Barn in Lebonon PA.  Again amazing.  Every color way of Fossil Fern for 5.49/yard.  Most fabrics 8 to 9 /yard.  We were going to go to another store but basically out of space in our suitcases.  Sunday we drove to Lancaster and visited Fran Myers.  Monday & Tuesday we did sighting in Philly PA.  A great trip.
