Hi Everyone,

I'd like to know where the best supply and prices are for buying Civil War fabrics. I'm kinda new to this genre and am looking to build my CW stash.

Thanks in advance,

Karla :D

I'm not sure about best price, but I purchased some very nice fabrics last summer from Bonnie Blue Quilts and was pleased with the quality, customer service, and shipping time. I seem to recall another shop in Texas but right now the name escapes me. If I think of it I will let you know.

Bonnie Blue is going to stop selling bolt goods and will be selling kits only effective February 1st. All their remaining fabrics are $5 per yard, but there's not much left.

Another great shop is Reproduction Fabrics

One more that has great service and selection is Lone Star House of Quilts

Thanks so much for the links provided so far. Much appreciated!

I have to second the reccomendation for Lone Star House of Quilts. I've never purchased online from them, though I'm sure they're great that way, I've just been in the store many times. I can't tell you how much I love that store! Very friendly staff, amazing selection of fabrics and good prices. All summer long they ran a sale of 25% off all fabric of 1/2 yard cut or more. If you get on their email list they send out sale info for online shopping all the time.

I've ordered once from thepatchworkco.com and was happy with my order. They have a really big selection of 30's fabric but have quite a few Civil War repro's as well. Price is average.

I bought a panel from this place. Great communication, shipping is the best. Would definitly buy from them again, matter of fact, I am going to be making a quilt for my SIL and they have just what I need

This is where I get all my fabrics and they do ship. They aren't cheap but they have the highest quality fabrics.

I like Bonnie Blue. Great sale for us. Sorry to see them scale back their business. Hope it works out.

I often get great prices on 19th century types from fatquartershop.com . Their sale section always has some.

Love Stitchin' Heaven. http://www.stitchinheaven.com/ Nice folks.

I buy from Hancock's of Paducah occasionally. No complaints.

Also fabric.com.

You folks are really coming up with some great sites for me. Thanks so very much. Having all kinds of fun looking around! :thumbup:

This is my favorite local shop that has tons of choices at reasonable prices: http://www.whittlesfabrics.com.

I have not ordered on-line but have been to the store several times. Very friendly service.

Good luck!

Lots of sellers on ebay. I've bought from some who have Jo Morton and Judy Rothermel(Sp?) Often has been around $5. It might not be their latest fabric lines but that doesn't bother me.

Another Texas quilt shop- not cheap but great fabrics.

www.commonthreadsquilting.com

"The U.S. Civil War era is our prime focus, but we also carry a number of lines in 1930's and turn-of-the-century reproduction fabrics. In addition to carrying the fabrics for making reproduction quilts of these eras, we also carry kits and patterns."

Hey, Crafttown Fabics has lots of Civil Was fabric.
Homefront,Chroncilies, Tribute. Etc.
Here is the website. They ship the cheapest price for customers and in good shape.

Try Stitch-N-Frame.com. They have some great cilvil war fabrics and some great prices. Sign up for their Thursday specials and the prices are even better.

The Hayloft Fabrics in Morgantown, PA, great prices and online too, have a large selection.

Thanks a bunch, will do! :thumbup:

http://www.stitch-n-frame.net is one of the best,

and then there is
http://www.this-n-thatfabrics.com

So far, I have to agree for both prices and fabric available. Thanks so much! :thumbup:

I have some on sale on my site for just $4.99/yd.

I have to agree that http://www.stitch-n-frame.net has a wonderful selection of CW materials....I am very impressed. Prices are the about the same as the store but the site does have a lot of different ones that I have not seen before!!!! I really love the Marcus line. I bought a bunch of it this weekend at my LQS - I have not bought any fabric on line yet....ever...but will I am sure in the future.

Go to quiltshops.com under item search type in civil war fabrics and hit seach. There are over 200 shops featured there. Its a good way to find the right price too.

Thanks Jackie,

I have done that already, but I really appreciate you mentioning it as many folks are not aware of this wonderful resource. Knowing that they don't list all quilt shops is what led me to ask the knowledgeable quilters here. :thumbup:

Connecting Threads has Civil War prints.
www.connectingthreads.com

the best online for cw fabric is colonialcrafts.com

Thanks. :thumbup: I'm so new to this genre, I didn't realize that their newest collection was CW. :oops: Much appreciated.

I bought 4 different sets of fifty 8x11 pieces of CW fabrics on eBay for a scrappy quilt (well, it was originally for the Dear Jane but I just couldn't make myself do it). I don't remember the price but I'm sure I didn't pay too much for it.

Thanks for the tip, Pam. I have been checking ebay, too. I'm sure I haven't seen them all of course, have found some FQ's for 1.65 each, not bad, so watching those as a possibility. Haven't looked today tho, so off I go...

Oh I dont know the name of the shop but it is new 1 year and it is on Main Street in Kent Ohio, You could look it us on the net I will try and find it for you actually its probably the only one in kent ohio.

sounds like you bought them from MS EFFIE on ebay....

I don't remember the seller. They were bundles specifically put together for Dear Jane. I used probably half of them in my avatar quilt.

Deb's Cats & Quilts in Franklin, NC, has a wonderful assortment of Civil War reproduction fabrics. I made a CW quilt for my son for Christmas and he has taken it to the university where he teaches to show it off in the history department.

I just go the new Paducah catalog and there are alot in there

I just go the new Paducah catalog and there are alot in there

I think I just received mine, I'll go take a look see. Thanks. :thumbup:

I just got keepsake and there is really a lot of CW stuff this year...being the anniversary and all...

but there prices are nuts...find the manufacturer or designer name and start hunting for them else where!

Autumn Rose Quilting and Fat Quarter Shop

I order from Stitch N Frame, Whittle's, The Stitching Post, Fabric.com, Quilts R Jewels, and Yoder's.
Stitch N Frame has a special sale every Thursday from selected fabrics in their store. I always watch for those. They're having a huge Winter Clearance right now with many Civil War fabrics included.

Thanks so much for all the great sites. Hope my question is helping out some other folks, too. :-)

I just got the latest Keepsake Quilting catalogue and it had a section of Civil War Fabrics and some patterns---not a huge section, but they had some.
