I believe so. I think I would have noticed it, had they used it before.

And it is in our Sunday newspaper insert, too.

Wonder if any of our local customers have noticed it?

:lol: Well you can't beat that! Free Advertising!!

It's the same as the flyer I got in the mail. Didn't connect it to you until I saw your thread on here. It's good for you. I hadn't really taken time to look at your web site, but now I'll definitely order from you. Anyone who googles it should get to you.

Woot! That's great advertising.

How funny!

Hope you get a commission!

Bahahahahahaahahhahahaaha! I feel like that every time I see a Kay's jewlery ad. My husband believes "every kiss begins with Kay" for a different reason.

I'm not going to worry about it. Unless they tell me we can't use our own business name... THAT I would worry about!

Aren't you trademark registered?

Neat Website
Just checked out your store. Dissapointed that when I clicked on Island Batiks, it said: Sorry !
We could not find any fabric that matched your keywords.
BooHoo :cry:
I will check to see what else you have, but it appears that you don't have a search bar to help me find a fabric if I don't know the maker.
God Bless,
Sondra

Oh I am so happy for you.

Dollysquiltingmom 01-30-2011 05:09 PM

Roseysue 01-30-2011 05:23 PM

I have bought your fabric and LOVE it and knowing I am buying from a group of women like us - that's even better.

And what wonderful service!

I can say I will be back, be back, be back, be back.............

jojosnana 01-30-2011 05:37 PM

And in color too!!!

johnniesgirl 01-30-2011 06:54 PM

I just checked out your e-store - very nice fabric! I bookmarked it so I can go back to it and do some fabric shopping. :-D

DonnaB 01-30-2011 06:59 PM

Sounds like free advertising for you, good deal. I wouldn't tell them, maybe they'll do it again. :) :D

sewingsuz 01-30-2011 08:17 PM

Same thing happened to me so I sent them an email. They have nice batics so don't give up, also Hancocks of Padukah is having a sale on batics for 6.98 a yd. I had fun!!!!

Sorry... we did have some Island batik bundles but they're gone. Island Batiks has not updated their website (regarding the bundles) for a *very* long time so I don't even know if those are available anymore.

We do have a search facility; in the upper right corner of every page there's a line that says "Search our Products", just click on that and you can search by lots of things - keywords, colors, pattern numbers (all or part of a pattern number will do).

So you don't need to know the maker.

OMG those bird panels are soooo sooo soo perfect for something for my daughter (12) who's destined to be either a biologist or ornithologist. We just finished a Hello Kitty quilt, so gotta think of "what else can I make"... Hummers, bluejays, cardinals... we have mating pairs of all 3 in our backyard!

In the beginning of the thread, JoAnn's put out a sales flyer with "favorite fabric" at the top. That happens to be the name of Nan's web business - so she's getting free advertising on Joann's flyer!! That is hilarious!

I couldn't have imagined this up if I had tried... it's another case of "truth is stranger than fiction"!

:-D

Judie 02-01-2011 09:21 AM

Wow.. What a surprise!! Should I go over and ask where they have your section of the store??

Doreen 02-01-2011 11:47 AM

If they only knew!

I don't want to tell you how many times I went back and looked at this to figure it out...........I think it's time I go to bed!
