Marshall Dry Goods
 

I'm visiting my daughter in Memphis and she had to work today so I took a trip to Batesville to buy some fabric. I've never been to Marshall's before, so I'm glad I've joined the club. I got lots of new additions for my stash. :)

Sweet! I love to order from them but haven't been able to visit yet ;)

I love their online store--hope to visit the real one sometime. Congrats on your visit.

Got to visit there last year and loved it. It is probably good I live several hours away.

My sister has been there several times. Once she came home with 36 whole bolts.

Make sure you have lots of time to spend, there is lots to see! Oh, and bring the plastic! :)

I buy 99% of my fabric from Marshall's as it is only about a 2 hour drive for me. I see many quilt shop vans in the parking lot when I'm there too. Marshall's is a fabric distributor. There have other buildings full of fabric other then the one open to the public. When I go I get a rep to sign my ticket so I can buy whole bolts at wholesale price. Cut off the bolt by the yard cost more as they have to pay employees to cut but still a bargain. My two friends and I split 15 yard bolts so we each get 5 yards each. Usually $2.98 a yard but none over $3.98 a yard since, my last trip.

Can someone post their web site. So we can all have a look. Thanks.

I have a question for those of you who are MDG regulars. They had a ton of MDG fabrics that would be considered blenders at a great price. But they didn't feel like LQS quality - lots of sizing, a bit rough. I bought a few yards to test but wondered what your experience has been. I did buy 5 yards each of their solid dream cotton in black and white - it felt like good quality. But I didn't want to buy a lot of the blenders and then not use them once I got them home.
