very nice jaydee3
I sent out a bunch of finished blocks last week only to get them returned Postage due--that was with actually going in to the PO and having an employee weigh, measure and stamp them for me, I guess someone else in the PO didn't agree with her assessment. Well, to make long story short I went in and discussed my annoyance yesterday and the attendant helped me to get them out again. The three opinions at the PO were all different ideas on cost, go figure. Don't get me wrong I am actually a PO employee, but I hate how the price of your mail is often based on one's opinion and not a spreadsheet with rules. It seem that the window people make up their own rules at time.
Another annoyance yesterday, I'm in a ranting mood today, one of my LQS sent out an email with a flyer attached about a 75% off fabric sale that started Monday. I misread the mail, thinking that their clearance stuff was now 75% off---NOOO it was all their fabric! They decided to stop selling fabric and only do classes and Long arm work. By tuesday night out of hundreds and hundreds of bolts only a dozen or so were left. Monday morning was supposedly a horrifying scene of women fighting to get as much as they could of fabric before it was all gone. I managed to leave with 7 yards of great quality fabric for $11
. I need to get my Boom 8 blocks together-I have enough for 2 twin sized quilts now I have the fabric for the backs. Only wish I could have been smart enough to get there Monday morning and got more backing fabric for all my other unfinished projects
I explained this to my Husband who couldn't get excited or annoyed as I was about my purchases--but I thought you guys would understand. Christina
