Really ticks me off when you pay good money for this stuff and you get an imcomplete inferior product.Sent an email off but havent had a reply yet.

If it has been more than a couple days, re-send the e-mail and put on it in big letters "SECOND REQUEST-PLEASE REPLY". Usually, from what I understand, most high profile shops will jump to fix the problem-they can't afford NOT to with forums like this! Good luck!

Knock, knock!! "This is the Quilt Police. Please open the door, maam."

Knock, knock! "Maam?"

Hope she opens the door soon. I have a VERY busy day. Still have to hit Qwkslver for some bad adjustments to a bowtucks, stitchofclass2 and clem 55.

Knock, knock!

Also, have to pick up nursie76 for aiding-and-abbetting.

Knock, knock!

"I can see you in there hiding behind that huge stack of fabric! You better come out now if you want to "cut" a deal!"

Drat! I knew ya'd catch me sooner or later! Hey, I was just being supportive to a fellow addict. (Opps, probably shouldn't have said the "addict" word, huh?)

Thanks for gathering the fat quarters to bail us out if necessary....it is so nice to know that there is someone to call....and since we only get 1 call, need to make it count! ;)

Not to worry, you can design new quilt patterns while you are staring at the ceiling for a week.

But the trial, well, that is gonna be ugly. Where will you find a good defense attorney who knows the difference between a 1/4 inch seam and a scant-1/4 inch seam?????

I work in the courts, know a number of criminal defense attorneys, so no worries ......
I have a Christmas wall hanging project which I purchased last summer in a quilt shop in ....well, it doesn't matter where....so a couple of weeks ago, I decided to work on it. It has a panel center and various borders....I squared up the panel according to instructions and proceeded on to the borders....the first border was a nightmare! measurements did not work, borders did not fit....so rather than throw away the whole thing, I bundled it all back into the zip lok baggie and decided to ignore it for a while.
Deep breathing....thoughts of plum puddings, Santa, sleighs & reindeer....etc.
