I had such a great visit with the gals at Fabric Shack in Waynesville, Ohio yesterday ---- and was thrilled when we were introduced to hear that they had just been reading my blog that very morning. Such a small world!
Janelle and Loretta had escaped with Cathy and some of the other class girls on Wednesday to make a run down there --- and came back with great reviews so I knew I HAD to go ---
Four of us met up at 10am as the doors opened ----Anita was already shopping when I walked in, and Irene and Lisa soon followed ----
After visiting a bit, exchanging introductions and getting my bearings by walking around ((in complete awe at the amount of wonderfulness ever abundant within these very walls))
I found myself face to face with THE REMNANT CARTS OF JOY!!
Oh yes, I”d been forwarned about the Remnant Carts of Joy---everything on the cart os $3.98 a yard, and you have to take the whole piece….move over, I’m diving in!
Here is one of the gals measuring out my spoils ---I was simply STASHING, no rhyme, no reason, if I liked it, it came home. Most of my pieces were about 1/4 to 1/2 yard – so that’s only $1 to $2 a piece. BARGAIN!
The shop is bright and beautiful, and I love the rainbow array of bolts of fabrics displayed on simple white shelving:
Gorgeous fabrics, loads of colors, lots of inspiration!
Makes me wish my sewing room looked like this!
Great samples, something to see at every turn!
Great selection of hand dyed woolies for the wool appliquers!
Fabrics from every manufacturer and line imaginable!
You want pre-cuts? They’ve got them by the dozens!
Batiks? Novelties? Civil War? Modern? Blenders? Everything under the sun --- it’s here!
And of course, for those who can’t make a trip to the real brick and mortar store, you can find it all at FabricShack.com!
I had no idea that place was so large having never been there - I do shop on their on line store there. So much fun to be there in person I bet.

I love to go to the Fabric Shack. I live in SC but go to Ohio every June to have a reunion with friends. This is always on my list of things to do. I could stay there for hours.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky!!!! That is like my dream place to visit!! Having no patchwork stores where I live I have been buying from them for a couple of years now and I am very happy with the service and the great deals they have. I am sure you had a great time in there!!
ReplyDeletei wish my local quilt store looked like this! adding their link to my faves.
ReplyDeleteOMG....officially HOMESICK! Glad you enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shop. Introduced to me by another quilter friend in Dayton who took me on my first in person visit last fall....need to go back next trip to the Dayton-Cinncy area.
ReplyDeletethat is an amazing place! I hope you left some of the cart fabrics for others!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this place - wish it weren't a 3 hour drive for me.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to you trip to Lexington, KY
Drooling......
ReplyDeleteI love that shop! It does look great. Oh! those lucky Ohio quilters.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, that looks like my kind of place for sure...but i'm only going as far as lancaster this year, too bad too...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great shop with lots of inspiration! Speaking of inspiration, I spent yesterday at the MN Quilt Show in Rochester, MN. Lots of eye candy available. I did my best to keep the economy strong, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun to see you indulge a little in stashing! Don't we all just love to be surrounded by rainbows of color? Thanks so much for reviewing this shop that I had not yet discovered.
ReplyDeleteHey Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting our shop yesterday, it was so nice to meet you!! Also, thank you so much for such a fantastic post. Hope to see you again soon and keep an eye out, we're going to feature you on our blog next week!
Glad you got to experience Fabric Shack! It is a great shop with wonderful people. I'm so lucky that this shop is only 30 minutes from my house. I'm there often to shop and visit with all the gals - always a good day!
ReplyDeleteRemnant carts of Joy--absolutely LOVE that! That's where you would have found me. I don't know if it is safe for me to click the link to their website. My budget might need an iron lung!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! Hmm, I think I see the makings of a One-Block Wonder over there on the left side of the cart. I am sooo sorry to be missing my HS reunion in Columbus, I'd spend a week driving around Ohio sniffing after your trail.
ReplyDeleteThe Fabric Shack is great! They had an amazing tent sale during the International Show in Cincinnati in April. There are many really great shops in Ohio!!
ReplyDeleteWow I want to go there now!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a trip to Ohio is in my future!!
ReplyDeleteWe all need a place like this to shop. What fun you must have had.

I want those woolies! I've just become interested in wool applique but every thing here in Illinois are dark, muted colors. I would love to have some of those pastel shades. I'll have to check their website and see if they offer them there. Thanks, Bonnie for sharing the pictures and your stories of life and travel.
