success finding fabric/good service
Last week I got the idea that I had to go to the LQS I pass every Tuesday night on my way to school. I haven't been to this store in over a year since it's further away than the RLQS (REALLY Local QS) that's less than a mile from home. While I was browsing around, I found a rather nice little print that I thought would work for a quilt I kinda had in mind to make, but they only had three FQs - no fabric on the bolt. :-( So I bought the 3 FQs thinking that I'd look for more, even knowing that this might be a really, really bad idea. The last time I found some fabric I absolutely had to have, I looked for over a year, contacted the manufacturer, begged, pleaded, posted to missingfabrics.com, etc., etc., and never found another scrap of it. I lust after that fabric to this day. The RLQS didn't have my latest have-to-have-it print, nor did eQuilter.com, so I hit the web. Quiltshops.com search page found it in about 20 minutes of poking around, and Quilter's Quarter in Mountaintop, PA, shipped it to me the next day. The fabric arrived this morning. I am so pleased, and so relieved that I won't be obsessing over this fabric for the next year. :-) So, kudos to quiltshops.com for the search page and to Quilter's Quarter for their speedy delivery. -- gail |
