Has anyone ever used the Old Country Store fabrics, or dealt with them? I just started getting their newsletter and oh my gosh they have some gorgeous stuff! Their prices are a bit better than most of the other sites too. I was just drooling over the Benartex "Dejavu" line. It's unusual and, to me, gorgeous. I'm gonna have to start saving my pennies to order something from them.
Here's the link if you'd like to take a look.

Thanks!

I visit this shop once a year when I travel to Pennsylvania, it's always a great experience. Thier staff is wonderful, and well you have seen their selection and prices! I was short in fabric once, and sent them a swatch, they called me upon arrival of my swatch told me they had more and sent it right out!
If you order, ask them to send parcel post, and not by a cheaper method. Someone on this board recently complained they didnt' get thier fabric promptly, but I believe it was sent fourth class. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them!

I've been to the store and it's awesome. I've never ordered from them online.

Thanks for the great site! They do have really good prices and the options for shipping are great, plus if you order before 2 PM (EST) they ship the same day! Sounds like a very customer friendly website.

I've shopped there when we were in PA a few years ago. It is a very nice shop.

mswordwiz 08-27-2010 02:32 PM

I order online from them a little too often for hubby's liking, but the price is right!

emt2004 08-27-2010 02:32 PM

Great store ! Stop in when we are in Lancester, which is often. B eautiful fabric & great service..........Michele

Ditto.

Stitchnripper 08-27-2010 03:32 PM

I was there about 2 years ago. I got a few things and liked the store. Never have shopped on line.

pam1966 08-27-2010 03:35 PM

I've only ordered online from them once and was very happy with my purchase!

Bev 08-27-2010 04:30 PM

Thanks for all the replies. Not a single one had anything not great to say about them. That's my kind of place to shop. I never get to PA, so I'll have to be happy with shopping on-line. Next time I have the money to spend it'll be there. I want to try them.

Quiltforme 08-27-2010 04:55 PM

Ohhh the Deja vu is calling my name I created a wish list and well after $55 worth of fabric I turn off my computer!!

CoriAmD 08-27-2010 05:00 PM

I had never heard of them, but sure do like their fabric - and resonable prices too - thanks for sharing!

mommaB 08-27-2010 05:36 PM

Nice prices! Thanks for the link. I may even have to take a weekend road trip this fall!! Signed up for their newsletter too. :D

LOL, I do that all the time. Only I rack it up to at least a hundred before I stop. Sometimes I go to a site that also has a "design wall" to compare your fabrics on, and I try out tons of stuff. Then I shut down my computer ... and all those lovely fantasies just disappear. What fun!! 8-)

BRenea 08-27-2010 07:49 PM

Been there many times in person, it's a beautiful store! When I need a fix I shop online, they do have good prices and beautiful fabrics.

nellie 08-27-2010 08:04 PM

yes i have and they sell good fabrics

I live about 45 minutes away. Their prices are worth the drive. I bought the fabric for my DS and DDIL 's wedding quilt there.

Gorgeous quilt! Gorgeous couple!
I love black and white quilts. They're great with a touch of color to liven things up. Just like yours. 8-)

hobo2000 08-28-2010 06:27 AM

I have some of their fabric listed for sale in the classifieds. At much less than I paid for it. Love that store.

lillybeck 08-28-2010 12:52 PM

I plan to look into this closer.

sewitseams 08-29-2010 03:10 AM

i have been to their store many times. i live about 2 hours away but it is worth the drive up. i really like the staff and the selection of fabrics is great. my dh is a hunter and there is an archrey shop right down the road so we both get "eye candy".

Barbm 08-29-2010 03:25 AM

went there for the first time in July. Will return again soon. After a disappointing trip yesterday to a shop 1 hr. 15 min. away, i will travel the 2 hrs. back again. Good prices, good selection, nice shop! Lots of eye candy.

OmaForFour 08-29-2010 05:00 AM

Thank you for providing this website address! I have used both Kona and Benartex fabrics in the past and they were wonderful! I like the prices too. Also, they have so many beautiful and bright selections compared so some other sites that have darker colors. I particularly like the Kona Bay Nature Path. Thanks again. I am sure I will be ordering from them!

Never have but gorgeous fabric.

I have ordered on-line from them several times - they are very prompt with shipping! Great store:)

I just received Moda fabric I ordered from them. It's beautiful, with a nice even cut. From the time I ordered it and received it, It couldn't have been much more than a week or less. It was the first time I have ordered from them, and would definitely do it again. Just wish they had a design wall on their site. I think they are great!

mimee4 08-29-2010 08:17 AM

Thanks for this site. My DGD is student teaching in the Lancaster area and now I'll have two reasons to visit that area.

grannypat7925 08-29-2010 08:24 AM

Thanks for the info! I saw their ad in one of my magazines but hadn't checked it out yet. Looks good!

Just wanted to say, "Ditto!" Great store, great prices and prompt service.

quilter711 08-29-2010 09:38 AM

Wow! I have it bookmarked. Just need money! Thank you very much. Can't believe the prices.

Thank you everyone who wrote in answer my question re: The Old Country Store. I've heard so many good things about them. I'm dying to try their site just as soon as my fabric budget is in good shape again. With the prices of fabric rising now, it's good to find a store like this. Hopefully their prices will stay this way for a long time!

mshawii 08-29-2010 11:19 AM

I had no idea that they had fabric. Thanks. I have subscribed to thier site. Love the prices.

quiltluvr 08-29-2010 11:59 AM

I lived about 45 min. away. Never left the store without a fabric that desperately needed a good, loving home. ;-)

I've ordered online too. Absolutely no complaints.

I especially liked the handmade items for sale in the store. And what a treat the free quilt museum is upstairs above the shop. I highly recommend visiting there. Check out all the surrounding shops too! Great stuff!

Dianne Lenore 08-29-2010 02:01 PM

Thanks so so much for that link! I did not get to Pa this summer as I usually do, and didn't realize that I could shop there online.

Eddie 08-29-2010 02:04 PM

I order from them online all the time. They're one of my favorite places to shop online. I have been very satisfied with everything I've gotten from them and have never had anything wrong in my orders from them, even when I've ordered 30+ 1/2 yard cuts at a time. They get it right every time.

mbmquilts 08-29-2010 03:07 PM

I have been shopping there for more then 40 years. Great store, fabric and people. Wonderful area. Across the street is a wonderful yarn shop:)

Ann L 08-29-2010 03:36 PM

you are absolutly right. They are stunning.

lotus63000 08-29-2010 03:40 PM

I ordered some fabrics from them this month....yes, they have variety of fabrics by many designers. I like their website organization that I can easy to search out of the products, especially their service mind still making me feel impressively ans being special customer cause they upgraded my standard to priority shipment for my first order.....
