A local frame shop run by the owner and her son. The owner herself knows a lot about framing and…read moreclearly guides the overall direction of the shop, but her son is the one that has really been impressive to me. I brought in many beloved sports memorabilia collections and he has framed every single one impeccably. He framed a Victor Cruz jersey, Super Bowl XXV card collection, two Super Bowl XLVI collections, and is currently working on a 2009 World Series collection for me. His prices are reasonable and he treats you like a good friend. I lived in Paducah for about a year and even after moving away to Nashville and now Houston, I still continue to use him for all my custom professional framing. Go visit Doug if you ever need a work of art from the frame game.

When deciding to visit Paducah on a recent weekend my wife was doing some research into things to…read moredo. I was surprised to find not only that the National Quilt Museum was located there, but that there was a National Quilt Museum at all. My wife does a lot of quilting so the decision to go was easy. The grounds of the National Quilt Museum are gorgeous and well kept. There's a large what I'm suddenly going to call a Grand Lawn with sidewalks and some statuary. Ticket are $15, but they do offer military/veteran discounts as well as students and seniors. The interior of the lobby is spacious with the check-in desk directly in front of you, gift shop to the left, restrooms to the right, and the entrance into the exhibit area dead ahead. By the restrooms you'll find the elusive wooden quilt. Yes, a wooden quilt. And it is bee-yoo-ti-ful. Once in the main exhibit hall you're amongst probably close to 100 quilts. To be honest, I had no idea how many types of quilts there were, so this was an education for me. The level of detail, craftsmanship, creativity, and ingenuity that went into some of these quilts is absolutely astounding. From a distance it may look like a photograph of, say, a tree, but when you get closer the details start to emerge. Some of them were absolutely awe-inspiring. Our visit, in total, came out to a little over an hour. Wifey was in her element so I wasn't going to rush her as the looked at each quilt, admiring the time and effort each one took. There were a couple docents who walk around answering questions and insight, where possible. Some of the quilts could be purchased...and I don't mean if you're on any kind of budget. One such quilt was sold for over $30,000. That's right and not a typo The gift shop is well-sized to the museum. It's well lit and has A LOT of craft/quilt items, bobbles, and trinkets. Pricing was very reasonable. I have to admit, I was surprise by this museum. I expected to be bored and wanted to get out, but I found myself interested and educated.

I don't drink coffee and I'm avoiding tea and baked goods, so I didn't buy anything. The store has many local (to KY or to the southwest, lol) products and artwork. Several rooms for shopping. I was eyeing some tie-dyed hoodies. My one tip would be to have more seating/table areas as there wasn't much of that, but perhaps the business is more profitable as an art gallery than as a "come and work on your laptop here for 3 hours" coffee shop.
