Quilting in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has its own quilting community, traditions, and shops. Pennsylvania is home to the oldest continuously operated farmers' market in the country. For local quilters, the state's active guilds run annual or biennial shows that are smaller than the national circuit but often easier to attend.
Shopping Before (or Instead of) the Show
Vendor booths at Pennsylvania shows carry the same kinds of fabric you can shop online any time — handy if the show is months away or you can't make the trip.
