While returning home from Kansas today, I finally stopped in at a quilt shop I have noted from a billboard on I 70 many times, but had not yet followed the temptation. I entered "Quilter's Harvest" in Higginsville, MO on main street, was greeted by a wonderful, friendly woman who gave me a sale sheet for what was on sale today. She directed me around the shop when I told her I had not been in there before. The clearance section at the back of the store was 50% off, or 70% off if you adopted the whole bolt. They had a beautiful selection in clearance and I must say I adopted a nice haul. Very nice quality I got for $3 a yard. Bought a few for backing and several coral/green tones for a quilt I know I'm going to love. Just wanted to share because I see people who have unhappy experiences occasionally and I had a great one today.

Yes, it's a great way to referring to the nutrients needed to grow a quilt to adulthood.

Doesn't a pleasant sales person just make your day?
It sure does mine!
I went to my fav QS out of town today because they were having a sale - 30% off everything.
Well, I didn't buy EVERYTHING, but I did get a good haul - and felt great about it!

Glad you had a great experience at the quilt shop. I like the idea of having the sale items on a sheet to share. Nice sale fabrics too. Good for you!

Always great to hear about a happy stop.
What bargains!

I agree that Quilter's Harvest is a wonderful shop. Many happy purchases have been made there. Actually, trips were made from KC area to shop there.

I was impressed with your description of Quilter's Harvest. Anyone that nice deserves to have lots of business. I googled the store and got the website. I am sure I will be buying from them. The fabrics I looked at were lovely!

Talk about GREAT customer service!!! To greet you with a sale flyer and then explaining the layout - WOW!!!! A lot of the quilt stores that I have been in, theyact like you are intruding and bothering them. Will have to remember this - especially if we make the move to Cedar Rapids.

CarrieAnne 10-31-2010 07:28 AM

Sounds like a nice place!
