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

That is so wrong. Easy way to lose business.

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.

You should get the email from the Fabshophop and tell them you were disappointed and see what they say!
