    I didn't pull anything from on top that's for sure. My brave friend did get up on a ladder!

    Wow!! I bet I could have found the binding for my quilt there! I went into my LQS thinking I wanted a rust stripe.....had to settle for a green floral.I wanted a stripe for my bias binding to do my scallop edged quilt.

    Susan, I think you took the same pictures I did! My friend & I were in Lancaster last October & if I didn't see this shop for myself, I would never have believed it. Absolutely incredible. I figure if what you need isn't there then it is nowhere! And all you have to do is ask, the shop lady knows everything she has.

    The last time I was there a huge stack of potholders fell to the floor when I was about five feet away. I had not touched them but it caused me to wait in the doorway until my sewing buddies finished their shopping.

    OMG that looks like my stash before I organized it and gave half away. I can't believe the piles of fabric, and I do believe that the owner knows where everything is. I am impressed and thanks for the pictures. Now I have added that shop to my list of places to go!!!

    What a treasure find! It's unbelievable! A Quilting Picker's delight! I'm going to have to see this in person.
