Most Successful Fabric Search

I ran out of fabric when I got to the end of this quilt, plus I lacked enough for the binding. It was some fabric I'd bought last year, and I'd already bought the rest of the bolt at LQS. Couldn't find any more anywhere. So I googled. A website soewhere in Texas came up named "Quiltscapes." I ordered it, got a confirmation almost immediately. I had goofed up on the amount of yardage I needed, so I e-mailed them back. I got another nearly immediate response, "No Problem." This was about 6 or 7 o'clock last night. I got a shipping confirmation at 8 this morning saying the fabric would be shipped today. I'm not affiliated in any way with this site, and just found it via a random search, but I thought I'd share with ya'll how impressed I was with the service. Initially when I placed the order I thought the shipping was a little high ($6.99), but I was a desperate woman. Doesn't it just stink when you're *nearly* through, and you run out of your dominant, favorite fabric?

This was a pattern. The fabric requirements were really wacked. I had way, way too much of certain fabrics. I thought when I was buying 2 of them, and looking at the pattern, "That sounds like too much of that". And it was. I had whole yards of those 2 left, and ran out of the border fabric, even though I had allowed for binding, too. I think I'll write the author and ask what's up with that. I've re-read, re- read, and I've followed the pattern exactly. It's got to be a printing error.

Thanks for the heads-up about another great online quilt shop, Sherry. Whew! I'm so glad you found what you needed!

It does sound like there must be printing errors in the directions since you were both short and long. Eke! I'm sure the author would appreciate knowing.

Can't wait to see a pic of the quilt when you're finished with it. :-)

Best regards, Michelle in NV
