I haven't heard but it wouldn't surprise me. We went to Walmart last week but it was a quick in-and-out with list in hand and I didn't go near the fabrics. I didn't want to be in there long as there were people without masks and it was busy. I still have a lot of fabric to use up before I buy more. My quilt shop is open now with reduced hours so I can go there if I positively need something but it is 25 miles away. My pieces of fabric keep getting smaller and smaller so people may be getting patchwork items before long :-)

I just checked and JoAnn.com has 4 shades of seersucker for 5.99 a yard - red, blue, green, and black. Hmmm! A cotton shift dress would be comfy out of seersucker. I may have to order some or see about picking some up at a nearby JoAnn store. They do the drive-up/pick-up there so you don't have to go in. That might be safer than me going in and finding things I really don't need. LOL!

I hope so but I've had post office problems lately (along with a lot of other people). I'm waiting on one package that according to the tracking number has been at the local post office for over two weeks with the notation "awaiting delivery". I called the postmaster who checked and said it isn't there. I think the more we pay the worse the service gets.

I agree with that, Judith. Service is getting worse and worse and postage rates go up and up.

Judith I had a similar incident happen to me. I finally went to the post office one more time and asked if I could go back to help find my missing package. They got busy and within five minutes I had my package. No explanation...just a package.

Marilyn... so frustrating...
You would think in light of what is going on and negative comments about sustaining the USPO... that they would try a little harder...
So frustrating....
Even with a tracking # ... I find I have to message people to make sure they actually got their package....because I have had to many negative experiences with the P.O. and lost packages, miss-directed and re-directed packages... etc.
and quit honestly.. FEDEX is starting to get me frustrated as well!

The package I've been waiting for since June 14th finally arrived mysteriously two days after I sent a steaming email stating what I thought of them and demanding my money back. I didn't get anywhere with 5 polite emails and two phone calls. Unfortunately, sometimes it pays to be [bleep]y.

Thank you Marilyn -- My sunbonnet arrived today! Very pretty. I had a pattern for a slat bonnet but never made it; now I don't have to. I'll post a picture soon.

Customer Service isn't what it used to be - at all! We ordered a bedroom suite in May. Today was the FIFTH delivery of the dresser, and it still is not acceptable. It took 3 deliveries to get the media (men's dresser) chest. I will never get anything from Rooms to go again. And they may get this set back if they will give me a complete refund; I had one manager said they don't do that, and another told me she could give me a complete refund. This is ridiculous. First they said they would give us a store credit. We bought the most expensive bedroom set they have, it is made in Viet Nam, so why would we want to buy another cheaper set???
This has been very frustrating.

Linda when my sister built her new house, she bought all new stuff from Rooms to Go.
My only complaint was with her sofa. As long as one person sat on each end you
Were fine bit when a third person sat in the middle...oh my. What a wreck. Both the ends felt like they were folding...up so everyone was all bunched together. It was so uncomfortable.

Hey Linda,, Camano Island is on the west side of the state, about 5hr drive.... One of these days I will get back over there to Seattle and then I can pop over to Camano Island.... but for now, I'll stick with the quilt shops over here.... or visit the on-line shops... or dig through my stash of fabric,,, and save my money till the pandemic is behind us and then I can go Ape-Snot-Crazy shopping!! lolol!

Grace, since I am in the 10" square swap I have ordered from MSQ several times this year.
I've enjoyed several tutorials also.
I like to watch the Jordan fabrics tutorials too! I ordered a couple of florals from them too. They are in Oregon.
Do you have some subgestions???

The shop is Over the Rainbow and the website is overrainbow.com. She is very helpful and everything I've gotten there has been great.

Jordan fabrics has their shop in Grants Pass, OR... they are on my radar the next time (after COVID-19) we head back down to visit family.
They have wonderful tutorials and great fabrics.. I get their emails all the time.. Luv the fabrics.
There is a fabulous quilt shop in Spokane Valley, a gal could spend hours and her life savings in there.

They are a great shop,, but I have really limited my going out into shops... for safety sake.
I am not familiar with their on-line service.. but I just might have to check into it...

Grace, I've had very good experiences with on line fabric stores. Probably ten years ago I ordered fleece with basketballs all over it. I wanted to make blankies, pillows and a bag for each of my girls. Knowing how sticky fleece can be and how sleepy, tired kids just grab and go to get off the bus and into the family vehicle...i lined the bags with an acetate fabric.
