Keepsake quilting

I haven't ordered from them in years but back before I became a cheapskate. Okay. I'm not a cheapskate but I do make a lot of quilts for needy babies and have to be careful about the budget. Where was I? Oh. Keepsake. Even when I wasn't quite careful and accidentally ordered fabric that was flannel and I didn't want flannel, they sweetly refunded or replaced. Keepsake even has a matching service. If you've just Got to have something that matches, they'll search the whole store until they find a fabric that will be really good. Nice folks. Polly

I have ordered from them and loved every single thing.

Probably still cheaper than buying here in France!!!

Prices are so high it is ridiculous. Also, not everything is stocked, for example, there is one patchwork shop near us and fabrics start from

19euros/metre and it isn't that special, but they don't sell wadding and they have a limited range of threads and don't even ask about notions.

Have ordered from Hancocks before and wasn't stung too badly by customs. Might make an order up with DM, not that I need anything really, but if I can get myself back in to quilting again, it would be nice to source something new or a bit different.

I have never ordered from them online, but went for a visit a couple of wee= ks ago and was in heaven. So much beautiful fabric. My mom and I petted i= t for an hour and a half and didn't really see everything (we had a party w= e had to go to, sister's wedding party, couldn't stay longer). If anyone i= s in the neighborhood I highly recommend it.

I, too have been able to visit Keepsake Quilting -- absolute quilter's heaven. I order from them several times a year and always get great service! If the shiping & customs become to great, why not have one of your RCTQ buddies on this side of the pond do an exchange with you? You buy the fabric online and pay to have it shipped to your buddy, then your buddy ships it to you. In return, you send the buddy $$$ to reimburse her (or him) using Paypal. I've done this for Claudia (in Spain) and it worked out great -- she got what she wanted at a reasonable price, I got to do a favour for a friend and I got reimbursed for my trouble. It will take a bit longer for you to get your fabric but it won't cost you quite as much money. CiaoMeow >^;;^<

Polly: say "cheapskate Keepsake cheapskate Keepsake" quickly 10 times.

Howdy!

Same here, Roberta: I order from them regularly, and am quite satisfied with the service & quality. I'm hooked on the FQ packets, 100 fq for $100: first rate fabric. They're also good about communicating shortages (rare) and any other changes to the order, questions either side has. Go for it! And please tell us what you get & where you're storing it. ...just curious ... .

Ragmop/Sandy - going to France is possible, and Roberta's just next door...

i have ordered from them several times. Always impeccable service. Shipping was fast, and prices were reasonable (compared to what I pay here in Spain if I can even find it).

Hi Tia Mary!!! That fabric has all been used and is ready to be sent to a friend who had her 2nd baby girl a couple of weeks ago!

thanks again; that worked out perfectly!

I live in NH so I can visit Keepsake within a couple of hours. They're good people and have a great shop. I wouldn't hesitate ordering from them.

Actually Tia Mary did this for me years ago, when I need a lot of good quality black. I'm just coming to the end of that black - a baby quilt with black and leftover blocks from an Amish swap I was in donkeys years ago. Another baby quilt I've fallen in love with... argh! .. must learn to actually be able to give one away!
