I've been many times. It's about six hours from me so I drive there for classes at Quilt in a Day and the Quilt Museum a few times a year, stay over night and of course Hancock's of Paducah is on my list. The prices are the same as the catalog so no bargains but the selection will overwhelm you. Every fabric line is there. The sewing notions are retail priced. The thread selection is great and walls of patterns and books. It took me over an hour just to check out the patterns my first time there. I enjoy Quilt in a Day store there too. It's a very nice quilt shop. It is in downtown Paducah. I would choose the Quilt Museum instead of Hancock's if I had to choose one to visit. It's a shame you can't have a full day to visit Paducah since you are there anyway. If it is the only chance you will be there for years to come then make the time. As I told DH, we don't have the time for making regrets.
