Hi, my material arrived today from Colonialcrafts.com, so good service from them as I ordered only 7 days ago.

These are FAT EIGHTS, 20 of them and I thought you might like to see them in case you want to buy some. Cost 25$ PLUS POSTAGE. Its called the Dear Jane Bundle on their site. I think they have 4 or 5 to choose from this is the pink and brown choice.

What you think. Me I am happy :D :D :D. PS before any of you ask its for a project in the future.

Elle

Very Pretty!!! Are you going to get any of the other bundles?

Pretty, pretty!
Great service on the postal side of it too!
7 days? and it takes a month from here to Spain? NOT FAIR!!!

Very nice and such prompt service! Just more things to wish for... :wink:

ooooooh another website to check out to purchase fabrics!! hmmm this is either a really good thing or a really bad thing :? :wink: :lol:

Oh its lovely, great site loads of fabric, drool drool. :wink:

Course its good, go get your Lira out :lol: :lol: :lol:

I knowit takes such a long time, why you have to live at the other end of the World is what I want to know. okay, I know its being married to a Naval guy. okay let you off.

At the moment no Melissa, I am going to have to get some fabrics for my next quilt (oh there is no stopping me) but think it will be costly so hanging fire till I get my pattern for it to see what is needed and I will need some advice on Muslin because I think that is the basis of the next one.

Wow Elle I did not know you were goingto make a Dear jane quilt. Kepp us posted as to how it is going. Maybe you will want to post pics with the rest of us and leave notes for each other to help with the blocks. God luck when are you starting??????

UGH! Why did you have to show me that??? :lol: I'm collecting civil war repros and those are just awesome! Now if I can manage to sneak another purchase without my dh finding out. :wink:

I love to see what everyone finds. So good to know about the service for Colonialcrafts.com. We'll watch for more pics as you work on the quilt.

Elle those are beautiful!!!! I'm gonna have to go check this site out and spend some drool time over it!!!

Glad you like, even if you don´t buy as you say you can spend some drool time, the material is a good quality.

Bebe, afraid I am not starting a Dear Jane in the near future as I have found another that just caught my eye, oh my here I go again. I am going to have to make a record of everything I want to make, what I may do is make a couple of Civil War Blocks with that fabric.
The one I am going to make next is the Peony Quilt on the Hoopla.com site, I just fell in love with it. Check it out Bebe I think its gorgeous.

I thought you all would be interested to see the fabrics though and to know the service is good when I can get it here in Spain in good time-

Elle

Very nice, I like that one. I wonder are all the bundles (if I got the one you got) if they are the same or different.

I don´t know about that, but as you are in America I suppose it would be easier for you to phone and ask.

They are very nice, I really like them.

I got my book to day Civil War Love Letters, really is fascinating to read. Theywere so respectful in these day of their womenfolk. A lovely read.

Elle they are pretty, I envy you :mrgreen:

Very pretty fabs......

Very nice Elle.

Really pretty fabrics, my fav. pink!

Elle-I love your fabrics and I am tickled to death that you are thinking of making a Dear Jane quilt. I am going to make a URR quilt first and then do some more thinking about a DJ--but I do not think it will happen in my lifetime!! :shock: Keep us posted on your progress!!

Thanks Marcia, however, I decided that I wouldn´t live long enough to finish a Dear Jane. LOL At my age you have to be careful you know too much stress and all that. Have decided however to do a Civil War Quilt and if you all want a peak at the pattern that I am impatiently waiting for here is the link. Made in 1863 and I think it is just beautiful.

By the way received the Book, Civil War Love Letter Quilt. What a lovely read and great patterns too.

Elle

No Loretta I don´t but it would be very interesting to find out. Hopefully my pattern will have arrived by tomorrow, there may be info in it so I can share with you. O am eagerly waiting for it. Feel like a kid in a candy store. LOL

I went to ColonialCrafts.com and asked for Dear Jane Bundle and was advised there was no item matching that description. Would love to order some of those "fat eights". Thanks, trolley satation

Very pretty. I love the colors & prints.

Yes i did the same, however I will endeavour to give you a link now, never believe everything this dang computer says, they have those fat eigths believe me.

Here it is: http://www.colonialcrafts.com/catego...abric_Index/c2

When you get to this page scroll down and around the middle you will find Dear Jane underneath is Fat Eights, just found them for you.

Hope this helps. Its not a very user friendly site. Is it.

Loretta, I am still waiting. I have faith that it will arrive. Or else I will scream and you will hear me over there.

Elle - I just checked out the Peony Quilt....absolutely gorgeous, can't wait to see you work on that on Tuesdays!! :D

Good choices. I am jealous

This thread is dated 2008, you have picked up an old thread which I have done on many occasions. I am doing the Dear Jane Quilt as a BOM on this board but have decided to use Asian fabrics. Check the BOM on we are now more that half way through the blocks and I am loving it.
