I got to go to the National Quilt Musuem in Paduca, Ky. I did stop a her shop and was really impressed with all that I saw. I did purchase some books and fabric. I found her prices fair and wonderful selection. I would say order.

I have been in her shop in San Marcos, and she only sells top quality fabric, but is never afraid to discount to turn fabric for bringing in new lines....I'd go for it :-)

Her prices, at least in Aussie terms are dirt cheap - $3 to $10 a yard.
Do any of you ladies shop there? If you do, can you please give me a recommendation?
I want to buy one of her books, some rulers and fabric and am excited - but I'd hate to place a nice order if the fabric isn't very good.
I really appreciate this board's help.

While checking out her site, I noticed she has a 50% off shipping on International shipping thru Sept. 10. Not bad.
Good luck in your purchase & be sure to post pics of your completed treasures.
Have a blessed day & may all your quilts be filled w/love.

And I've got it. I placed my "stash" order with Eleanor and am expecting a good experience.

I live local to the San Marcos store, about an hour or a bit more away and have visited shop and been to her quilt camp in Jullian. Sometimes i have seen fabric a bit less than awesome but not ever bad and it has been a very small amount. She does have a rep to uphold and I would be surprised if you got something of bad quality.
