My first call was for my favorite block in all my searching all over the country. I'm quite sure it was the owner I spoke with, and she was super nice and talkative. She says these fabrics are from her favorite lines. The kit was $14.99 and s/h was $4.95, which seemed pretty darned reasonable to me. Can't wait to see and touch the fabric. Love that there are words on the background fabric!
My second call was to Lind, WA. I loved the idea of including a crazy quilted square, and their kit cost and shipping was incredibly reasonable ($10 plus $2.20 s/h) and I think this one will be easy and fun to put together! Christy told me about retreats they have if I ever get anywhere nearby, and they sound great. I think she says they're about 70 miles from Spokane. Fun!
My third call was to Knit One Quilt Too in Rhode Island. You had to order the kit ($18.95) through their website and s/h is ten bucks. This seemed a bit much, so I decided to look further before purchasing.
The fourth call stayed right here in Pennsylvania, to Wormelsdorf. I'm going to have to hit the maps ti figure out where in PA they are. In Stitches Quilt Store used yo-yos as flower ins a basket that looks pretty easy, with an appliqued handle on each. I think I can tackle that, something a little different.... The kit was $17.99 with s/h $4.75. Okeedokee!
This is so much fun, might as well track down another! My call to Cambridge Quilt Shop in Cambridge, MA was easy as pie! It looks like an extremely easy kit and packs a punch - and I can add anything and everything to embellish it if I want. The kit is for the HOME, she added the HOPE to give another idea of how it might be used. The kit is $14.95 and she though s/h would be somewhere between four and five bucks. SOLD!
Well, I've spent $75.00 on this quilt so far, time to yank in the reins until next payday. But was this ever fun! I wonder when the first one will arrive?
I really like the background of this Dresden plate, and I love the idea of appliqueing the ties to it. Unfortunately she doesn't have any extra of that fabric (I thought it might be nice to use in other places in the quilt) but I could always cut away the background behind the applique, right? She'll send an invoice via email to continue the purchase, So now I have a block from Missouri! It's 16.95 plus tax which includes s/h. Can't go wrong!
