My next project is a "man" quilt for my father-in-law. Since his stroke, he has been having to take things a lot slower, which means more time in the recliner. With cool weather on the way, he needs his own quilt, especially since Grandma got one last month! I searched and searched for some fabrics that screamed masculine. I found just what I was wanting on EBay. One of my favorite sellers, lauralaura54 had some fabrics listed that were just what I wanted. She carries a lot of the Free Spirit fabrics and always has such great prices and provides excellent service! I bought a half yard bundle of the Jenean Morrison, Moondance line........
And my third project is for another family member, Kim. She asked me to make a baby quilt for her friend who loves vibrant oranges and blues with a hint of purple. This took some research and lots of searching online which is my favorite past time, but I finally found something that I thought would make a beautiful quilt. It is the Pretty Bird line by Pillow & Maxfield. Etsy is one of my favorite places to shop for fabric and seller, Stitchesngiggles4U, had all the fabrics I wanted in the Pretty Bird line. This was my first time to make a purchase from her and she was a pleasure to work with. I had lots of questions and made crazy request for her to group fabrics together for me so I could see how they look combined. She provided excellent customer service and great communication. We talked back and forth for a few hours one day. I could tell that was a dependable seller, so I went ahead and made my big purchase and she was able to get my order cut and in the mail that same day while packing up her family for a weekend camping trip. I placed my order on Friday and received my package today on Monday. What great service! She even vacuumed sealed my fabrics to get them all to fit into a flat rate envelope......
