Quiltluver: Is the Fabric Shack or Quilt Shack also off the PA turnpike or is it in Lancaster? Going to Lancaster in Nov and want to hit as many places as possible. Already have DH exercising arms to build up for "holding bolts." :roll:

I used to have a map of the area with all the shops but I can't find it at the moment. Should I come across it I'll definitely get back to you. Hayloft has about 8,000 bolts, charms, jellys, scrap baskets to dig in (my favorite), battings, flannels, repos, 30's, the latest new lines, patterns, books, made for sale items, fat quarters. I love how their fabric is organized and labeled. It's upstairs overlooking a little grocery store, which the whole thing is made to look like a barn, thus the "hayloft" fabrics above. And they have a coupon on their website to use each month. Just print it out. (Your husband will thank you at this store, they have carts for the bolts. Thing is you may need more than one!) :mrgreen: |

Thanks so much, quiltluver. You are a dear. I am not sure I can wait until Nov. to get there :D . My DH also thanks you for the "cart suggestion." We are going to Gettysburg in Oct. for a short visit so will not make it over to Lancaster, but definitely in Nov. Going to the Am. Music Theater Christmas Show also.

SSTeacher,
Here's a list of places I came up with. I'm sure you'll have such a great trip and can just imagine the fun you'll have exploring, buying, touching new treasures to bring home. Be sure to tell us all the details! My personal must-not-miss places: The Quilt and Fabric Shack 3137 Old Philadelphia Pike Bird-In-Hand, PA 17505 (717)768-0338 features 6,000 bolts, locally made crafts Omar and Sylvia Petershiem 2544 Old Philadelphia Pike Bird-in-Hand, PA 17505 (717)392-6404 features handmade quilts, fabric (my note: Lovely fabric but what got me was the quilts and the prices! The "shop" is the basement of her house and she has beautiful quilts hanging outside throughout her yard. I really hope you get a chance to go in. You won't be sorry by what you see.) I've also mentioned Hayloft Fabrics. Probably my absolute favorite store. Off the PA turnpike, exit 298, near the intersection of Rtes 10 & 23. 150 Moreview Blvd. Morgantown, PA 19543 (610-286-5045) features 8,000 bolts, sale coupons printed from website, notions, batting, handmade items, books The Old Country Store 3518 Old Philadelphia Pike Intercourse, PA 17534 (717)768-7101 features large selection of fabrics, books, locally made items 2nd floor: The Peoples Place Quilt Museum Free admission (another must see if you can squeeze it in) Directly across the street is the Kitchen Kettle Village which has a variety of shops offering homemade foods, meats, cheeses, handcrafted items, souvenirs, candles, sports stuff, leather items, and a whole bunch more. Other shops, in no particular order: Burkholder's Fabrics 2155 West Rte. 897 Denver, PA 17517 (717)336-6692 features 12,000 bolts Truthfully, I had a hard time find this one as it's out in some really rural area. With all that fabric to choose from, I didn't find what I thought I might, but at least I made it out there to see it all. :-) Dutchland Quilt Patch/Village of Dutch Delights 2851 Lincoln Highway East Ronks, PA 17572 (717-687-0534) features 6,000 bolts, patterns, books, locally made items. Downstairs is handcrafted items and quilts. Then there's all the stores too numerous to mention that will feed the fabric addiction. Pick up some local literature so if you ever get back you can explore even more. Happy quilting!!!! |

OH! I am totally in! What fun! And there's a whole year to plan! Woo hoo! Come on ladies, this could be a blast! Terri, you'll be back by then too! |

Wow, quiltluver, you "outdid" yourself with all of those wonderful store names and locations! You are an angel. We will try to get to as many as possible and will post our success on the Forum in November. Thank you so very much for all of that valuable time you spent giving the info (you could have been quilting :D . Anyway, I appreciate it so much. I am sure others do also.

:oops: :oops: Aw, shucks! :oops: :oops:
This is what the board is all about, passing along good info and all. Glad I could contribute. I can't wait to see what all you come home with and if your husband survives the workout! :lol: Half the fun is combing thru all the shops, shelves, bins and baskets. Many hidden treasures await. :D (Now, if I could find a way to minimize myself and email me to you I could hitch a ride and plunder the shops too! I got Monopoly money if that'll help!) :lol: |

They have gifts on the 1st floor and fabulous fabric on the second level. It is on the left hand side of the road. There is also several other shops in the ares (not fabric) like woodworking things etc. Enjoy your trip. Also if you are up around Lititz there is a place called Weavers just outside of Litiz on Route501 north. They have excellent prices. Marge
