I have only been there once. DH took me to the quilt show, the quilt museum and Hancock's. If you have never been there before, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to browse and by that, at least a couple of hours. I remember the flatfold tables taking up a huge room - and I mean warehouse size room. It's humongous!

I don't get the catalog in the mail but I get emails several times a month from them. Go to their website and sign up.

Another store you should go by is Marshall's Dry Goods in Batesville, Arkansas. If you plan a trip near that area, you really need to go by there. DH is so sweet to me he always checks what quilt stores are nearby when we take road trips.

I order fairly often from them (especially the clearance fabric). They send me a catalog with each shipment and I get one in the mail! They are beautiful but I told my husband that as many as they send me, they could cut back and give me a frequent shopper discount and I would be happier ;-)

I order from them alot, and get their emails that notify me of sales and free s&h offers. I buy batiks at $4-5 per yard! And get backing when it is on sale. I wait for these offers before I order.

Beware though, Hancocks prices are by the half-yard not a full yard. But still good prices.

I agreee!! A friend loaned me hers and I am in awe. Just gotta order and have it delivered elsewhere to avoid frowns from DH. (he reall doesn't care but tries to act like he is getting pushed out by fabric)

Love going to Hancocks in Paducah!!!! Only an hour or so away....maybe more. But it is worth it. They offer a catalog every time you purchase something, so I can't imagine that they wouldn't send one to you. Of course you can look at the catalog on line as well. Just fun, fun, fun!
