Thanks, Louise! I have two 4x4's, one 5x7, one mega hoop, one tiny hoop.
By the way, has anyone sewn with that clean plastic stretchy tape? I thought it would be really great to use for making headband veils for toddlers and girls, but I cannot get it to sew! The needle goes through it just fine, but there are no stitches! And, of course, I bought a ton of it. There must be a way to sew with it since you see it inside dresses all the time.

so i ordered two different sets of fabric squares off ebay from the same seller. the first combined mailing the seller possibly did not seal the poly envelope carefully so i received an empty package, stamped so by the post office. i contacted the seller regarding this and she promptly sent me a replacement order. i got the replacement order and it was not what i ordered. only half of the order was correct. so again i contacted the seller and she promptly agreed to send me the correct order and to keep the incorrect one as a gift. so i checked and the 2nd replacement order is in the mail on its way.

now i sell on ebay and i know that sometimes things can go awry with an order. i know i do my best to get it all correct and shipped promptly. but i cant help but wonder what happened with this seller. she sells a lot of fabric squares and fabrics so i know things can get mixed up. but to mail a package and not make sure its sealed, i dunno. its possible. and to get the replacement order mixed up when all she needed to do was take some time to get it right this time. i even asked that she put a extra bit of tape on the package flap just to make sure i received no more empty envelopes, which the seller did.

now she is having to send a second replacement order because the last one was incorrect. so let's say she mailed merchandise three times now for one single order. i am certainly feeling some compassion for her and now i want to send her something for all of her troubles.:D on the surface i know that this is a business and if this happened to me, i would have cut my losses and refunded the customer money. my stuff is more high dollar than fabric squares so i could not have done this. but i believe she probably has some sort of mark by my name now cause she will remember me.:D

ooh i would be remiss if i do not acknowledge the wonderful rak i received from holice recently. she sent me a big bag of fabric squares for postage. i am so appreciative holice for your generosity. as holice teaches quilting classes she had lots of fabric squares from leftover quilt kits. every last one of them will be used.:)

RAK alert!!!!!!!!!

Either tomorrow or Monday there will be an RAK leaving
CO and headed somewhere else in the U.S. won't say in
which direction it is heading.

Also a couple days ago (Wednesday I think) mailed out
2 fabric postcards. One for someone in the U.S. and one

Be on the lookout.
