We live about 40 miles south of Lancaster, PA and we go up their quite a bit to check out the quilting shops.

One of the places we have found near there that we really like is in Georgetown, PA. That is about 15 miles south of Lancaster on route 896. It is a small place, so don’t blink or you’ll miss it. On the corner in the middle of town there is a store that is ran by the Amish. It is a neat little store and has a great selection of fabrics and quilting supplies at very reasonable prices. It is kind of off of the beaten path and not really a tourist attraction, I don’t think many people know about it. Many of their customers are the Amish. It is a neat place, besides the fabrics and quilting supplies they also have many other kitchen utensils and other misc. household items used by the Amish.

Go during the day because there is no electric lighting in the store.

Just a fun time if you have a few hours and don’t mind driving a little bit.

Also, directly in back of the store is a nice little restaurant ran by the Amish/Mennonite (???),. I can’t easily tell the difference. It is a great place to stop for lunch.
