During a recent trip to Shipshewana I grabbed a current visitor’s booklet for my nephew. Typically my trips to Shipshe include the same quilt shops I frequent from Goshen to Middlebury to Shipshe.  Respectively, our stops begin with the most affordable quilting fabrics and notions, up to the highest.

As I studied the booklet, I concluded there are many shops I’ve never been to so I began compiling a list. Now I’m determined to stop at the new ones in the near future. Knowing many of my quilt guild friends head to Shipshe from time to time, I thought you might enjoy the list too. If you are feeling adventurous, keep the list handy, as there are so many shops within in a small radius. Plug into your GPS and have a great time! Here are the ones I located (as of this writing), in alphabetical order:
