Fabric/Quilt Shops in Scranton?
The much anticipated weekend is upon us and I am so excited. My wonderful DH
got us tickets to the Pennsylvania 500 NASCAR race at Pocono this weekend. We will be going out there on Saturday and will hopefully have a couple of hours to burn before we can check into the hotel. DH asked me last night what we would do until we could check into the hotel. Of course the first words out of my mouth were "We can go shopping. I'm sure there are some fabric stores in Scranton." His reply was, "I knew that was coming." So at least he didn't say no. Now I have the task of finding those stores. So if anyone is in the Scranton, Pennsylvania area or knows of any fabric stores that are a must to visit, please let me know. You can either post here or email me privately. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Mika http://community.webshots.com/user/mikasdrms |

I'll trade the names of the shops for the race tickets! LOL
I am hoping to go to the Brickyard, oh wait, the Allstate, next year. Man, hate that they changed the name. Think Tony Stewart can win and climb the fence again? LOL Toni |

So sorry but if that's the trade off I'll just have to forgo the fabric
shops. LOL. As far as Tony Stewart, as much as I like him, I certainly hope he doesn't win. I'm pulling for Mark Martin all the way. I was at Dover last year when he won so maybe he'll win at Pocono this year. Mika http://community.webshots.com/user/mikasdrms "Toni Schneidt" wrote in message news:HhjDe.15435$2h1.10004@trnddc05...

We have an office in Jessup and I was introduced to Quilters Quarter on my
last visit. So now between the Tannersville Outlets and Quilters Quarter, I generally volunteer when trips to Jessup are required. I forgot about Mt. Effort. But I thought that would be quite a ride from Scranton. When we spent summers in Gouldsboro, it was easier to get my DH to go to Mt. Effort since there used to be a homebrew supply store on the way. I think they have closed up now. -- Alice in NJ, Royal Cybrarian http://www.ourcyberfamily.us/ http://www.ourcyberfamily.us/RCTQ/index.htm (add a recipe) "Just about the time a woman thinks her work is done, she becomes a grandmother."

I don't know where anything is in Scranton, but I live something under
an hour north of there, so I'll be waving at you. :-) Mika wrote: The much anticipated weekend is upon us and I am so excited.

Thanks Alice. I've written down the address just in case I get to do any
fabric shopping. As it turns out the job that DH had on Friday has now been pushed to Saturday. So we may not get into Scranton until late Saturday evening. So at this point I'm not counting on getting to do any shopping. I appreciate the info though. Who knows when I may need it in the future.

Thanks Iris. I'll be on the lookout. As I was telling Alice, it turns out
that I may not get in town in time to do any fabric shopping now. But you never know what the future holds. Mika http://community.webshots.com/user/mikasdrms "I.E.Z." wrote in message ...
