Nope, not on Cape Cod. Center Harbor, NH. I have heard of a great shop on the Cape, too but the name escapes me at the moment.

I got their catalog a couple of weeks ago - I think I will look throught it and place an order.
Thank you for shaing your story

that is great customer appreciation for a store to do that

how wonderful. I will ck them out the next time I am in need

And their shipping generally doesn't cost more than what you ordered.

They are my favorite Quilt Store online!

This just one of the many benefits of buying from a true business that values your business whether it's your first or fiftieth order. I've dealth with them since the 80's and have never been disappointed with their customer service.

Your "Favorite Fabrics" site has the absolute best landscape prints on the net!! And your florals are stunning. I have to say that your service was very prompt also. I will definitely be back to shop............

Since I made my order the old fashioned way ... snail mail and a check ... I was quite surprised to get it ten days after I mailed it to them!!!

I received a catalog from them a couple of weeks ago, but being unsure of the quality of the fabric, I held off ordering. Could someone tell me about the fabrics?

I have ordered off Keepsake Quilting for over 4 years. Their service is just the best. I can place an order from Australia and it usually arrives within 10 days- that's pretty good from the other side of the world. Customer Service is great-product line is great and nothing is too much trouble- they have great catalogues too.What more can I say. Now the Aussie $ is on par with US $ I get great value- I can pay at most stores here $6.00- $6.50- per fat quarter - even with freight it is only a fraction of the price.
Love Fons & Porter Magazines but over here you pay $18.95 per copy- Istill but them though as I just love the magazine

Isn't it great when a business treats its customers right?

how very nice, happy Valentines day early :)

I have dealt with them since the 80's and have never had any problem with any fabrics I've ordered. They also say right in their order forms that "if you are unhappy for ANY reason the will gladly refund your purchase price plus shipping with no questions asked! That to me says it all and I imagine there ever being a problem. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

yes, they are really good about that at Keepsake Quilting and for your info, Amazon.com does the same exact thing. I have ordered Elm Creek Quilters books, quilting books, dvd's, cd's etc and have usually paid less than what I was originally quoted.

made plans a week ago for a road trip to Keepsake, TOMORROW:)
I am being picked up at 7am, need to get to bed soon!!!

I hope to be able to visit them in person someday.

i am so sorry.... i'm easily confused about these shops......my girlfriends drag me around everywhere, and i get overwhelmed in quilt shops...LOL
the ones on the Cape are "Heartbeat Quilts" and "Tumbleweeds"... great shops and their is a girl at Heartbeat (owner i think), that has designs in magazines etc... a real celebrity!!!
my favorite shop is "SewFisticated" near Boston, with the hands-down best pricing ever and great selection.... 2.99 per yard is the high price for cotton,,, i hit the rem table, hence my huge growing stash, i'm working to "sew down"...

thank you I have been to Tmbl weed and heart bt I fly over frm the island! It is a real treat day and I too have dropped a few pay chks there I have DD on mainland maybe I can talk her into a ride to sewfist. where is that?

I think they have one in Framingham as well,,, i'm in Middleboro, MA Oakpoint.. (retirement comm.)... having fun just doin' nothing, but what i want... LOL..

thank you! I have been to Oak Pt I was there for a conf.( I work 3 days a week at an adult day ctr. ) the place was beautiful (but there is no way I'll ever leave the island! (except to shop) thanks again for the info

Helen is the owner at Heartbeat in Hyannis. It's a very nice store with all the up to date fabrics. What I like about that store is that they have samples hung up all over the place of their patterns, with the patterns right there for you to buy. If I love an item made up, I will definitely buy the pattern. It's sometimes hard to visualize it made up, so this is a big plus for that store.

Tumbleweed is a few miles away and is another wonderful store. They do have up to date fabrics, but they also have some older fabrics. They have patterns and books and a little room devoted to seasonal fabrics. I always visit this store when I go on retreats at the Cape.

There's another store called Murray's a little further up on the Cape in Orleans. It's a small store with up to date fabrics, but worth it to go there. They are a Janome dealer.

I have also been to Keepsake Quilting, though quite a few years ago - actually before they moved into the section of where they are in now. At that time, it was the biggest quilt shop in America. I was very impressed with it. I remember that they had a 4th of July sale in the parking lot every year that was always mobbed. Someday I will go there again.

I am so happy to hear about their wonderful customer service. I haven't ordered from them in a while, but when I did, I remember that they always shipped fast, and their packaging was very well done.

Thank you for the reference to Sewfisticated, this year when we visit, we'll be sure to go. I'm sure I'll be doing a bit of buying again, even if only some black cottons for blending. We used to live fairly close to Lambert's...long time ago.

I work just a few miles from the one in Dorchester so sometimes go during my lunch break.

What do you think? Do you think the fabrics are the same quality as in an LQS? For example, the Andover fabrics...the LQS has Andover lines but - maybe it's all in my head - the Andover at sewfisticated feels flimsier.

I've asked in other posts if it's possible that a manufacturer has different qualities for different levels of retail. Most people say no, one person suggested the printing might be on a different level of fabric. Others have suggested that the pricing reflects old lines of fabric.

Either way, I'll be buying there to make pillowcases for donation since I can't afford LQS prices for that.

I would love to visit Keepsake Quilting. I live in MA so there's really no excuse. But when DS went to college in VT, it allowed for so many visits to places along the way than I would take if leaving from home without the college destination.

Wouldn't you know...I hadn't yet made it to KQ and he transferred to a college in CT.

here's the skinny on "fabrics".. my quilting buddies that "quilt professionally" and allow me to sit "hang" with them... LOL... say most definitely there can be a differnce..having worked with "own label" products in the food business for years it's true for most products we buy... that being said... Sewfisticates is my kind of place.. i'm not out to win awards... i love being artistic and creating as i go,,, most of what i do is for children, kids or just to be "used"... i certainly no "good fabric" from bad,, but it's got to be pretty bad before i would not take home a pice i love!LOL... also, if you are ever looking for "fancy, sparkly, stretchy" or home dec fabrics at fantastic pricing... this is your place...my BF sews roller skating costumes for her GD and the price is a fraction of what they pay from the rink coaches supplier..
