I did not know about it or I'm sure I would have. I would go back to all of the places I was except maybe Good's. The Log Cabin Quilt Shop was very nice. I just happened to see it as I was driving & of course the car automatically turned in. I am not sure which was my favorite. I loved them all.

At the hotel we stayed at, in there package of things to see & do, don't know what it is really called, their were discount coupons for I think 4 of the quilt shops. Burkholders had one for 20% off on one item but when I gave it to they gave me 20% off every item I bought. The other ones were for 10% I believe.

I am homesick. We would go there at least once a month. Now I live to far and fit to much in when we go home. I agree about Obies.It's an experience I can live without. I do recommend the Hayloft. They have beautiful fabric.

ON my last visit to Obies there was a faint cry of "help, help" from the back of the store. I think a pile of fabric fell. But, if you're looking for something they know right where it is. I love the Lancaster Quilts stores, Obies included.

Hey, if you want and have time, PM me and maybe we can meet out at Hayloft. I live just a few minutes from there There are others near Obies. I guess you need to go in there just once; it just scheeves me out. She cuts generous because she can only measure 1/2 yard at a time. I got some stuff from there, but I like to browse and you just can't there.

We are going for a retreat in September, I hope there is some fabric left for us to buy!

Sue, I smiled when I read this, because I have the same problem. No body in Texas knows what Maypo is and I have fond memories of eating it and watching the commercials.

You come east and I'll take you, but I'll stand outside and wait for you.

Ohhhh yes I recommend it!!! :) I love the Hayloft. It's about 90 minutes from me but worth every minute of the drive.

Another good place is Covered Bridge Dry Goods in Kutztown
