Finally, after the sale started last Friday, today, was my first chance to go and shop/spend!! Bought a ton of backing fabrics for future quilts, several single yards of blenders to add to the stash but my absolute greatest find were prepackaged batik fat quarters. 8 in a pack, orgionaly priced at $14.99 marked down to FIVE dollars!!!! That figures out to less than 65 cents a FQ or $2.50 a yard. The colors are bright jewel tones, red, pink, green, blue etc. They have a very nice marbled effect and are so pretty.....20 packages came home with me, so I guess I am set for a l-o-n-g time.

I was also able to score some very pretty M'Liss batiks marked down to $5.00 a yard. Soft creams with shades of pinks, blues, green, and yellows.

Doing the happy dance tonight!!

I guess you did score big time.

Oh, nice score!!! :thumbup:

woo hoo! Doesn't seem like our Hancocks does sales "in person". They don't have the same "in store" sales as they have on the web.

I tried to do order online then to get the sales prices and pick it up and they told me I couldn't do that... funny, I live less than 20 minutes from them.

Oh well... glad you scored!

I stopped in my Hancocks today to see the "Clean Sweep" sale and I must have gone too late. Nothing but UGLY or totally innappropriate fabrics for quilting were left. Bummer. I did use my 40% coupon for a small jelly roll of the Top Drawer fabrics. Ten strips for $6, not bad... I think I can make a nice tablecloth with those.

I'm not sure but I think hanconks of Paducah is different from other Hancocks. Atleast that's what I've heard.

I think you may be correct a mundo my dear!

Green with Envy!!! Was your lucky day, good for you.

Happy Dance for you!!

WOW, what fun you had ~ Enjoy "playing" with them

They are two completley different Companies .. Hancock Fabrics if different from Hancocks of Paducah.

I am soooooooooo jealous. I love batiks and you got an amazing deal on them.

Guess I'll have to check out my Hancock's.

I won't be anywhere near a Hancocks until this summer and with my luck they won't be having any sales!

What a great shopping trip :D:D:D

Isn't it fun to shop "on sale"?

I SO wish I had a Hancock's near me!

Are you all happy with the quality of Hancocks fabric? I haven't been there in awhile after being disappointed. The Hancocks in Metro Milwaukee WI area are in the gehto/bad part of town. Not sure if I should go(?)

I've been happy with their fabric. But not all fabrics are equal so you have to pick and choose. I like them better than Joann's.

You are correct. Hancocks is a chain store, but Hancocks of Paducah is a huge LQS (with a lot more than just quilting of course.) At least that is my understanding.
