Fabric hunt

Saturday afternoon I drove out to Burkholder's Fabric in search of fabrics to complete my 3 most recent projects.  I know I have written about this shop before but yesterday I took photos just to give you an idea.  Keep in mind that I only shot about 1/3 of the shelves.  I am not exaggerating.  I will also tell you that EVERY shelf is jammed with bolts.  So jammed that 2 weeks ago when I went with my sister looking for batiks, I tried to pull out a bolt and heard something "pop" in my wrist.  I sprained my wrist pulling fabrics!  (I still cannot bear weight on it - getting old is a pain!)  Anyway, be prepared because this post is photo intensive!
fabrics for my projects - pretty boring!












Right now Burkholder's is offering 2 coupons and you must have the coupon for the sale.  One is for a 25% discount on everything in the store and the coupon is good until Sept. 11.  There is also a coupon for 30% that is effective only on Sept. 6 & 7.  I will be happy to forward you a copy of the coupons if you are interested.  (Without a coupon if you are a guild member or member of a sewing circle, you get an everyday discount of 15%.)  Fabric prices without coupons are fairly typical for Lancaster County - most new lines are between $7.69 & $7.99.  For those of you that like on-line shopping there is also a 25% off sale on line at their new website.  There are frequent specials for on-line orders.  You are probably wondering if they are having the sales to reduce inventory...and they are but only because there is more fabric on order!  No one has compensated me for writing this post.  I just love this shop so much I can't stand it!

  1. I feel like I've died and gone to heaven looking at those photo's.

    We dont have anything like that where I live in Australia. How did you get out of there so fast? I'd still be there looking at everything.

  2. I can not believe all the fabric - and you say there is even more. It would be very difficult to walk out of that store without purchasing something....right?

    Enjoy today!

  7. NOW I finally understand why, after all these years of feeling rather blase about rainbows, why I have this great affection for them -- it's the rainbow of quilting fabrics! LOOK at all the colors. *sigh* Heaven.

  8. Quiltingnana told me about your blog. I will sign on now as a follower. She and I are going with a group up to Bird-in-Hand (we rent a house there) the first week of November and we have decided we need to check out Burkholder's. I've heard of them before but just never got there. I'm thinking it can't be much more than a half hour from where we rent the house?
