I finally got to them last weds.... oh my goodness!
I tried to behave and thing I did pretty good. Just too bad I had the kids and my husband with me.. I could have spent hours in that store! now how do I get back there soon??????????????? :)

I know there is more there, (would love help from others on which they would recomend....) but we were only able to hit up these two!

Sorry I got nothing, but sure would like to be wherever you are in your avatar :-)

Old Country Store.


Here are the two lists I always reference for fabric stores in Lancaster:

I've also enjoyed shopping at Sauder's.

The OCS is my favorite also. ;-)

Maybe you can get a church group or a quilting group to get enough for a bus road trip fund raiser...here in NJ, it seems though, all of the bus tours go to the casinos(groan)...I am in Cumberland Co. Are you anywhere near there? (let me know if you are and do get a bus trip together...my friend and I would also like to go)...Naomi

I was at "The Old Country Store" two weeks ago. It was my first visit and I must admit that the fabrics, quilts and kits were beautiful. I got out of there with a bundle of fat quarters and a redwork pattern book. Also had my hubbie with me. I'll get back there again soon because we frequently go camping in that area. Sometimes we just go out for the day. Great place.

I'm headed there on Friday! I was there a month or so ago and bought what I THOUGHT was enough fabric for a new project. Alas, no. So now I HAVE to go back! Going with a quilting buddy. There's a couple of places mentioned here in other threads (Obie's being one) that I want to check out this time. We won't have as many time constraints on this time. Looking forward to it. And hopefully I can figure out just how much more fabric I need this time. Plus find some backing. I'm doing a log cabin in 2 fabrics (gold/black) for a friends son for graduation next year. Saw some Christmas fabric at my LQS that might work for backing but I think I'll have more selection and better prices in Lancaster.

I was there on Saturday, introduced my newbie quilter sister to Zook's, Country Store and Sauders. There is a new shop a little bit down the road from Country Store, Bitty something, that I haven't been to yet. Always great choices of fabrics and each store and the prices can't be beat. Been to Obie's once, not for anyone that is claustrophobic, LOL! May in Jersey

Its aruba,, and I wish I was there right now myself!

I am in union county......

Zooks is one of my favorites. This last time I got to go to the Quilt Museum. Beautiful quilts and fascinating stories behind them.

I just spent a week in Bird-In-Hand, PA. We just arrived back home in North Carolina tonight! Bird-In-Hand, PA. is right near Lancaster.

I must have hit 20 quilt stores and fabric stores. Loved them all. Found a few that were with the name of Zooks. Also found Zooks frozen chicken pies, which are terrific too.

I have some quilt shop info from the area, but not specifically Zooks, of you are interested.

Happy Quilting,

Steve (a.k.a. Sewing_Hubby)
I'm a Hand Quilter and treadle piecer, though I do have a sewing studio full of machines with which I could quilt and sew on. I prefer the manual / hand method.

Hey there's a quilt show end of July up that way. Our guild is taking a bus trip and after visiting shows we are stopping at Zooks for some shopping. Trying to save some money so I can buy more material for my stash. You know it is good to have a stash, I really do use it, it's nice to go shopping on my shelves when I start a new project. Don't have to spend any money on gas, and I can start right away.

Love Bitty Kinna's! Such a nice bright shop and wonderful fabrics. She's a delight to talk to and the others in her shop are always very helpful.

Hey Steve, where is your avatar from? Bird-in-Hand or NC?

The avatar picture was taken in Bird-in-hand Pa. this past Friday morning on July 15th.

My wife was in the basket to the right, just taking off for an early morning flight. The flight was one of her Mother's Day presents.

She loved it.

how cool... something on my bucket list.....

Here is a web link to a web page about one of my favorite quilt shops in the Bird-in-hand Amish area.

It's name is Country Quilts and the lady who runs this shop is Katie.

Here is the link.
