I have recently returned from a FAB-U-LOUS holiday in the USA, which included a visit to the Museum of the American Quilt Society in Paducah, Kentucky. It's not somewhere you just pass through - you have to make the effort to go, but if possible, it is worth the effort....however, you aren't allowed to take photos inside, sadly!

I also bought fabric, visited other places with quilts, and generally had a Jolly Good Time!
