Everything has arrived in perfect condition. WOW
that's some packing of the box. Amazing work at getting everything in so nicely,
without squishing and squashing.
The thread cutter 'give away' is lovely thank you...I think I
will be wearing mine all the time.
That' 'Moda Metallic Black' is beautiful....even
nicer in real life. It is going to look fabulous for what I have in mind. I can
see endless ideas for it. The Moda Marbles Jet will be perfect for
the background of a wall hanging/abstract. The pieces have been cut out and
waiting for the parcel to arrive. The' Moda Brights Jelly Roll' is to be used
with that.
The King size and the baby size batting that came
are just the right thickness for both warmth and thickness for hand or machine
quilting. I am going to use the baby batting for the wall hanging. Perfect size
and I like a batting with some oommph to it for a wall hanging. I don't like
them only as thin as interfacing.
I will have to order another baby size batting then
to do up the one yard of 'Samba Red Patch' that I had sent. My daughter took
one look at it and the citrus jelly roll and fell in love. Mum.....!!!!..but I
think I will do a lap/baby size for her.
The 'Odelia' fat quarter bundle was nicer than I
expected. I want to use it with the 'Katherine' and 'Natalie' fat quarter
bundles to do a Fassett inspired floral squares on point from 'Patchwork'. I
have been waiting a long time to get the right fabrics at the right price. I
hope to 'tea dye' the striped yardage of 'Bandana Beauties Periwinkle Lime' for
the border so it has a more dull look.
The EQ Printables - Regular
Inkjet Fabric (8½" x 11") is great...tried it already. No idea what to do with
the Tyvek...have to look it up on the net but I understand you heat it into
interesting shapes. Mmmmm Moda Metallics and Tyvek....like the sound of that.
The Bandana Beauties Bundles in stripe and solid will be perfect for bags,
adders or my daughter's tops. She has beeen eyeing the other available prints
for clothes.
Now the thread. Nice weight, good shine,
plenty of it and sews fine, love them all. I will be ordering the ones I need
for my other planned quilts.
Thanks for everything...service, price
and juggling the shipping cost (saved me $8plus this time). Going to
check out the Books on Special.
