I have been saved by a quilter 2500 miles away! Nancy L. of Irwin, Pennsyvania read yesterday’s post in which I wrote about my delight at finding an online quilt shop in the Midwest that had a piece of older fabric I needed to finish a quilt project. My delight was supplanted by disappointment when the shop notified me it didn’t have the fabric in stock after all. When I woke up this morning and looked at my email, there was a message from Nancy telling me she has a third of a yard of this fabric that she is willing to send me. Oh Happy Day!
Not only is the fabric already in the mail, Nancy even sent me the tracking information! If the US Postal Service does its job, those precious inches of currant red fabric will be in my eagerly waiting hands by Friday. I could have made do with another cut of fabric but I had my heart set on using the same red that’s in the center of this kaleidoscope quilt:
The piece that Nancy is sending me will be used as a narrow flange between the outer border and the binding. Thank you, Nancy, from the bottom of my heart.
Aren’t quilters the best people?!
Yes, quilters are the very best people ever. What an amazing story. You did rush out and buy a lottery ticket didn’t you?
Great network!
How exciting! What a nice thing to happen in view of the last year we’ve gone through.
Your quilt is so dramatic and pretty.
This REALLY makes my heart sing!
So happy and relieved for you. I know how disappointing it can be when you have your mind and heart set on specific fabric. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Such a supportive gesture. You have some great quilting friends!
So happy I could help. It has always been my experience that quilters are kind and generous people.
Relief is my favorite emotion! Relief from disappointment! Love a happy ending! All because you write a wonderful blog! This little victory got my day off to a good start…
