1 To Be Used with the Quilters Travel Companion 10th Edition , Chalet Publishing December 2008 Volume 5 Issue 1 A couple of nice stories from travelers whose husbands feed their addiction! Send us your story: info@quilterstravelcompanion.com Alma Henderson I have just finished updating my 10th edition by highlighting all of the shops I have visited thanks to the three previous editions! My husband buys your book as soon as it is out. He carefully plans our itineraries with the QTC and the GPS. I have always taken each new book to the local printing shop to have the binding removed. I then place each state in clear plastic page saver, compiling them into a large three ring binder. For each trip (driving or flying) I then take only the states we ll be visiting. Peg O Reilly, Galena, IL I have purchased the Travel Companion for many years and it has a permanent place in my car because you never know where you will be and God forbid I miss a quilt shop. Several years ago we had 5 weeks and wandered through Idaho, Washington State, Oregon and several other states. My husband surprised me and got me to the Sisters, Oregon show on the right date. I also found him looking in my Travel Companion while I was shopping in a quilt store to find a route to the next one. WHAT A GUY!!! Send us your story about using the QTC in your travels. stories@quilterstravelcompanion.com Lots has been happening with the shops as you can see below. These are the shops that have contacted me since the last edition of Book came out in June I cannot include a map for each in this newsletter due to space limitations. So please give them a call for directions if you re going to be in their area. Many of these shops have ads on our website: Full listings for these shops will be included in the next edition of the QTC. They are listed here alphabetically by state and then city.
