Obie's Country Store is in Goodville, PA. A trip there is on my bucket list.

Fieldstone House you have to call in advance (a few days to play it safe!) to see if they are there as they spend most weekends traveling to quilt shows as a vendor.

Edited to add, I would opt for Zooks as that is right in the heart of Amish country and there are loads of shops in the area and all are very reasonably priced.

They have really "cleaned up" Zook's. And there are probably 8 or so other shops within a ten mile radius. Three are right there in Intercourse. And one about four miles down the road (on the same road) in Bird In Hand. I was just there on Monday.

Obie's is, as far as I'm concerned, a safety hazard! Rarely do I go into a store and leave without finding something to buy. It's so packed that the "aisles" are difficult to navigate, fabric bolts are stacked one on top of the other and layers deep, all the way to the ceiling. No thanks! I don't remember anything other than woven cotton (quilting fabric), but was quite overwhelmed, so could be wrong.

I agree. I went to Obie's once and couldn't leave fast enough. I'm not claustrophobic but felt like it in the store. Mostly my reason for leaving was logical - I couldn't see how to get a fabric bolt out of a pile without it all coming down on top of me. No fun to be in a fabric store when you can't buy anything.
