Nice things to say about Big Horn Quilts
I was trying to find backing fabric for my Mom's quilt at the LQS and
just could not find anything I liked so I started poking around on the internet. To my amazement I found two fabrics that I liked at Big Horn Quilts but wasn't sure which one I wanted. When I called after work, a very nice woman picked up and started by asking me what the quilt was, who it was for, and what fabrics was I using in the quilt. After we discussed the quilt in detail, she suggested one fabric over the other. When I got it in the mail two days later, the backing fabric was perfect! Not only did the colors really blend with the quilt but I saw on my receipt to make sure Julie was notified if there was not a full 8 yrds of fabric. Turns out I got the owner on the phone! Very happy with my fabric, the order, and the especially nice customer service. Ginny |

I only order from Big Horn (nayy) for my One-to-One swaps...so anyone who
draws me as their swappee gets fabric from them. They are the best!!!!

I have been really pleased with Big Horn (I'm NAYY). I recently
placed and order there and not only was there a great selection, the prices were good and the shipping was SO FAST! When I saw a package on my doorstep I didn't dream it could be my fabric already. My latest project got a happy little boost when the Big Horn order arrived : ) |

I think I'll go place an order to do penance for my mistake!

My only problem with Big Horn is that they refuse to ship any way but
UPS. And for me that is a "slow boat to china". I have never had a Big Horn order get to me in less than 8 days! I love fabric shops that send fabric USPS Priority Mail. For the most part it's cheaper than UPS. I'm not sure why Big Horn won't ship USPS. Mardi I am sorry to hear that it takes so long for UPS to get to you. As for only shipping UPS, it is probably easier for them to have the driver pick up orders every day. In order to use the post office, they would have to make a trip. Plus UPS automatically insures packages and you have to purchase it seperately from USPS. Speed does make a difference. I love this one particular shop but the lady works alone and it can take forever for a package to arrive. But I like her and her prices are very good. I just have to buy from her when I am not dying for a fabric fix. Ginny, whose Mom's birthday is today! I will let you know how she likes her quilt. |
