Speedy Delivery

Whoo-hoo, guess what came in today's mail!! Yep, the fabric I ordered from cottoncharm.com.

But the package sure looks like it has been through a war zone -


The package must have traveled at the speed of light..............

Thank you Cotton Charm girls for wrapping my fabric order in plastic. There is no telling what might have happened otherwise.

So now I have the fabric that I need for the Schnibbles, and I bought this ruler yesterday to make those ever wonky Flying Geese.

Geese ARE supposed to fly in formation, right?? Just to be sure, there is a great tutorial on using this ruler on Carrie Nelson's blog.

Guess I had better get busy :-)

Have a great quilting weekend!

  7. I am glad you got your fabric in one piece. I am always pleased with how the quilt shops packed their parcels. Never lost or damaged coming to Australia - Enjoy Natima

  8. Wow, what a mess! Glad it was carefully packaged. Is Schnibbles the pattern from Miss Rosie? One of the girls at the shop just did that quilt. Very nice.

  10. I have received packages like that, with china inside! You are a brave soul to take on the flying geese...I don't think I'll be good enough at quilting to tackle that...can't wait to see the finish!

    God bless,
    Mary

  15. Hi Jocelyn, hope you had a great weekend sewing and that package went through a lot to get to you. The pattern of the fall quilt is in Amercan Patchwork 2003. Love to see it when you finish it.

  16. It's good to know that they are fast and know what the post can be like!
    I am looking forward to you wonky flying geese as it's my lessons coming from my teacher.

  17. Looks like your package is a victim of a PO conveyor belt incident. I've had some torn and open packages delivered...everything FLIES through the system without much care it would seem ~ people trying to move the mail at the speed of light or lose their jobs!
