Like many of you on the board, I do the Fab Shop hop online. I was shocked to find an email that I had won a 2nd place prize for the February hop.
I waited patiently for the package, and when it arrived I have to tell you that I was REALLY disappointed. They sent me four half yards of the cheapest looking off white fabrics. You could see right through them!
I pouted for a few days, and then hubby said I should at least let them know that I was disappointed in what I recieved. So I did.... and they were very nice, and said if I was not satisfied I should send it back and they would send something different. That pleased me, even if I had to pay to send them..... I figured anything would have been better. (Those fabrics were horrible...and after all the time you spend "hopping")
I kept thinking that maybe I was being to hard on them, but then I thought... if I was doing a prize giveaway in a regular store, I certainly would have chosen something of better quality.
Or if I was donating a prize. So this is what they sent as a replacement.........
Now.... what to do with them? I am open to any inspirational suggestions you may have!

Pretty fabrics :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
I won a $10.00 certificate from Some Art Fabric. My order came to approx $9.00 with shipping (ordered a pattern). Some Art Fabric said I had to pay for shipping...I canceled the order :evil: :evil: :evil:
I don't see why I should pay for shipping if the total order was less than $10.00 :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown: :thumbdown:

what have you decided to send it back, they should just send you another package and should be able to keep the old stuff to use for a quilt for charity, you shouldn't be out the postage to send it back.
