Here's a little finish.
I just loved this fabric when I saw it.
I bought 2 fat quarters of each design.
I bought it last month when visiting my daughter.
Then I began cutting and sewing.
Note: I did not plan ahead.
Bad Idea!
I got this far.
Oops!!
Not enough of that brown stripe.
I need SIX little 1 1/2" x 6" pieces.
AARRRGH!!!
What am I going to do now??
1. I tried first to find SOMETHING in my stash
that kind of went with it.
Nope!...can't find anything.
2. Called my local quilt shops.
Nope. They don't have it.
3. Looked online.
Found the fabric on sale for $5 a yard. $6 shipping.
I don't know.
Pay more for shipping than the fabric??
4. waited. and wondered.
5. Hallelujah!
I asked my friend Nancy....
"Will you be going to that quilt shop we went to
anytime soon?"
I really didn't want to travel
all the way across the country
for six little pieces of fabric!!
But...
I wanted that fabric!!
Yes.
She went.
She found.
She sent.
Free shipping too!
she sent it home with my daughter who was coming home for the summer.
What a dear friend!!!
