I will be there for the entire show although I will probably leave by

5 on Thursday. I have a booth in the merchants' mall - "Glass On The Square". We've never done the Mancuso show before but my partner tells me that we are in the first room (?). I love meeting people from the group so stop by and say hello! No purchase necessary!

I'm going! I actually have two free tickets! My friend is coming from Virginia to join me. I think we're going on Friday, and I have to white-glove on Sunday from 2 - 4. My Guild is doing the White-gloving so that we can sell chances on a quilt that we made. We make one every two years to raffle; that's our main fund-raising project. I live in Morgantown, not too far from New Holland. Make sure that your aunt takes you to the two new fabric stores...Goodville Fabric Outlet in Goodville and Bitty Kinna's in Intercourse. Contact me at abonnell at ptd. net if you want to meet up at either of those times.

I wish I was going. We'll be in Wildwood, NJ Thrs. - Sun. next week. I just wanted to second Alice's comments at least regarding Bitty Kinna's shop. My friend and I were there the first week she opened. What a delightful person the shop owner - can't remember her given name - Bitty Kinna was her father's nickname for her. She was the only shop open on Sunday, no less! We popped in just to check it out, ended up spending a couple of hours and a number of dollars there! She also gave us a wonderful applique lesson. In fact, earlier today I just washed the fabric I bought there to start yet another quilt. At least this one is small. The quality of her fabrics is wonderful and the prices are very reasonable. And the selection is quite a bit different from most of the shops in the area there. Is the Goodville Outlet the one in the back of the building between Bird-in-Hand and Lancaster?? If so, I think they have a great selection, particularly of flannel usually.

Have fun ladies - wish I was joining you!

No, Goodville Outlet is in a former furniture mfg. warehouse on Rt. 23 East of New Holland, in Goodville. They carry all kinds of stuff. Lots of knits, fleece, polyester, decorator flat-folds and some quilting cottons, flannels, and muslin....if you can find something that you like, the prices are great! They are located almost across the street from Obie's fabric store, if you've ever been there. If not, it's worth a quick stop if you're not claustrophobic!!

I picked up three bolts of Kona "snow" yesterday at Sauder's for my friend.....$2.95 a yard, 15 yards to a bolt. They are having one of their "truck load" sales. She'd pay at least three times that much in Virginia!

I know what you mean about the prices! As long as I'm buying for a project, it's worth the hour & change ride out there. Even in my gas guzzler, I can save money by getting my fabric there, even if its just for a small project as everything at my LQS is $8-$10/yd. And if there are more than one of us going, we all make out!
