Anyone bought from Lancaster Home and Fabric?
 

I was looking for a discontinued fabric and stumbled onto their site. They have some great prices on items I like. I'm surprised I've not heard anyone mention them. Has anyone had experience with them?

I haven't, because I live 2500 miles away and prefer to purchase from my local shops here in town.
However, a brief perusal of their website reveals that they've only been "Lancaster Home & Fabric" since late 2019. So it's possible you may have heard of their other iterations: Dutchland Quilt Patch and Weaver's Dry Goods.

Hadn't heard of those either. I'm in Texas, so just about as far away as you. It's a discontinued line.

We've lost at least three LQS since the pandemic hit. So, before I started looking, I called my local quilt shop and they didn't have the line I was looking for. So I searched for it, and this site came up at the top of the list. The fabric I wanted was only $6.25 per yard. That's less than Marshall Dry Goods asks for discontinued fabric from major fabric lines.

That's why I'm asking. It seems to good to be true. What's wrong?

Lol. Maybe it's just cheaper there? I went to a retreat in Missouri last May, was blown away at the difference in pricing there compared to here (Portland Oregon area). Not just fabrics, but EVERYthing was cheaper. We went to a sit-down restaurant, I decided to pay for the retreat organizer's meal as a thank-you for her hard work. I did not tell her I was going to do this beforehand. She had a shrimp cocktail appetizer, we both had steaks, we both had cocktails, we both had dessert. (And yes, we both had to roll ourselves back to our cars 🤣 ). I paid just under $40 for both our meals including the tip. In my area, the total would have been at least double that!

Thanks for letting us know about them!

I often go to Lancaster and have visited Dutchland Quilt Patch and Weaver's many times In person because I live in Pennsylvania. They have wonderful fabric and Weaver's especially has the largest selection of panels I've seen. As a rule, the yardage prices are good, probably due to the sheer number of quilt shops in Lancaster County. Don't know if the mail order is the same though. On my last trip, it was not unusual to see $6.00 a yard fabric.

I think I did order some discontinued yardage from them last year, no problems.

I just checked their site out. Oh my gosh! They have everything! Thank you for telling us about them, bkay.

I did not recognize the name till I looked at their website and saw the building. I have not visited since before Covid hit. Need to check this out again.

I see it's a year since someone posted......
 

I just happened upon the Lancaster Home and Fabric site this weekend. Although there are many well-known fabric companies on the website, there are some companies I don't recognize and was wondering if they may not be "quilt-quality" fabrics.

Your comments about their fabrics would be appreciated.


Thank you.

sorry duplicate message above

I've used fabric from 3 Wishes, and EXclusively Quilters...no problem with either company. I'll be looking this Lancaster Home and Fabric up to check itout myself in a minute. Love good fabric at great prices.

Hmm. Without commas I'm not sure where the name of one stops and a new one starts.

EE Schenk is a distributor, not a fabric manufacturer.

Thanks for the comments. I order a Diamond Textiles piece "Sparrow" for the background of a wool applique piece. I'm crossing my needles in hopes that it will work for the project.

Thank you for the clarification! ;)
I've bought Lewis & Irene, have heard of Fabric Traditions and Exclusively Quilters, might have bought some but can't remember for sure. I think you can get Fabric Traditions at Joann's.

Ok so-
I was in Lancaster *yesterday* so I went to Lancaster Home and Fabric.

It is extremely well stocked with a wide variety of quilting fabric - but I found it no better than my local LQS. Prices for new stock was $10-12 for standard 42" width 100% quilting cotton. Clearance fabrics were $7ish. Fabric is upstairs, downstairs reminded me of a HomeGoods... Heavy on the Joanna Gaines farmhouse style.

Yes, I bought something, because that's what I do - this is my souvenir from vacation travels. I stop in local quilt shops and buy something.

I hope this is helpful.

Thank you for your response. I've been shopping throughout lower Michigan lately and am seeing prices of new fabric in the $14.95 range. I try to by-pass those and hope to find sale bolts in the $10 range. I did purchase some Hoffman fabric from Lancaster Home and Fabric for $5.95 on sale. I'm thinking this site will be a good go-to site for older fabrics at reduced prices.
