Already got several corners folded over on mine! They HAVE to have the greatest selection of batiks in the world!

Hopefully mine will be coming soon. I love it. I have ordered from there and was very pleased with what I got.

Could you tell me the volume number of the catalogue, please? Is it the Summer issue? I ordered a catalogue in March and then ordered again in April. I haven't received either one yet. I had the same problem last year - I don't think they like sending the catalogue to Canada. However, they have no problem sending the fabric I buy from them!

Well, I guess what people have been posting is true. Fabric was much higher in Paducah this year. Even the fabric at Hancock's in the wareroom was a dollar more this year and less to choose from. I didn't buy a single piece in the back. The fabric in the main store was ten and eleven dollars. May have had some for nine.

Fat quarters at the vendors were higher than usual.

Fabric was just higher everywhere. The ladies from out of the country were not complaining. It was fabric heaven for them. Fabric is so high in the countries overseas. Plus their money goes further here. We met some of them at our hotel.

Please pray for the people in Paducah. The water is getting higher and they are having some flooding in some areas. Looks like the convention center may take on some water, even with the work that they did last year to keep this from happening. No one knew that it would get so high. The water is getting high on the flood walls. I hope and pray that the walls and gates will hold.

It is Volume 55 Summer 2011. There is a 10% off deal if you order from it by May 30th. When I had ordered from the previous catalog I got another one with my order; gave it to my DDIL who is a non-quilting graphic artist. But she loved it.

It's worse than the Sears Christmas catalog when I was a kid!

Thanks for the info. I even asked for a catalogue to be included with my last order and they didn't put one in. I'm going to have to email them to find out what the heck is going on.

I just got my first catalog and am in love too!
I've dog eared way too many pages to be safe this year.

I just returned from the AQS show in Paducah and spent a month's salary in Hancock's of Paducah! The store is wonderful and Mr. Hancock and family are terrific! Have you ever been to the store? It is quite an experience.
