Understanding Quilt Fabric Autumn

I am visiting Quebec, Montreal, San Fransisco, Vermont, Massachusetts, Boston, and New York?

in September-October this year, from Australia.
As its the autumn season, what sort of weather can I expect, so that I have some idea of what clothes I'll need, and are there any quilt fabric shops in these areas?
How lucky am I!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!

Answer:

Sounds like a wonderful trip. Also a great time of year for sightseeing. Temperatures can vary from 10 to 80 degrees F. More typically, from 30 to 70. Remember these are Farenheit, not Centegrade. The difference is critical to understanding what you will encounter.

You will see some rain and perhaps even some snow. The snow is unlikely, but possible. Rain is definate. It is best to dress in layers so you can remove a layer if you get too hot.

There are quilt fabric shops in virtually every major city. They are not unusual is smaller cities too. Our fall season is around August through October. The calandar may not agree, but that is because it has to be divided more mathamatically than seasonally

Fall in New England can be a sight to behold. Each year is different, but some years have unbelievable colors when the trees change. Many photographes take prize winning pictures during this period.

Fisherman's Wharf in San Fransisco is not to be missed. Try the crab coctail and the sour dough bread. You get the crab coctail from street vendors or small shops to eat while you are walking around. There is nothing like it anywhere, even if you use the same ingredients.

If you can manage a side trip to Yosemide, it is worth the effort. It can not be done in one day, but it is one of the most beautiful natural places in the world.

The giant redwood forests are also a sight. Sausalito (sp?), across the bay is very interesting to visit and shop in. It is essentially an artist community and is very eclectic. The San Fransisco area is one of the best tourist spots I have ever visited.

You might be shocked at how friendly most people are, too, but beware of the crazy people. They have more than their share of clinically insane people walking the streets. I rode the mass transit system a little bit, and I felt completely safe and welcome.

Do not let the cheap prices on lobster and other sea food in the Boston area mislead you into thinking it is anything other than top quality. I was so shocked, that I wouldn't try it at first. I didn't understand that it would be good, even if it was so inexpensive.

Boston has a lot of very interesting sights from our Revolutionary War. Sorry to bring that up, if it is a sore point. We hold no ill will, hope you don't either. LOL. I found Plymouth Plantation (not the way they spell it) to be quite interesting. It gives a glimps into what it was like to live in the 17th century.

Keep in mind our electricity is 115 volt 60 cycle. Anything that you have with 220 volt and/or 50 cycle may be a problem. Better to buy new items here than to mess with transformers though.
