When I quilted my Improv Mini Wall Hangings, I ended up with a load of thread scraps from all the color changes. Not wanting to waste a photo opportunity, I molded, played and formed it into this heart!
Last week I visited Craftsy ... their fabric sale actually. I was weak. I bought a little something! And thank you Craftsy for sending me the 'New Sunday Steals'. I haven't looked yet...should I?
Shot Cottons: Persimmon, Latte and Aegean. I was so excited when I saw all three together! Not planned, but they look great together.
Kona Cotton: Teal, Black and Steel. No big deal. (I rhymed)
How about this? Elizabeth Hartman Fat Quarter Bundle ~ Kona. It got me. I was so excited when I saw it, perfect stash builder. As I was marveling at the color goodness, I turned it over and saw this:
Can you say Wahhhhh? Took the wind out of my sail! Almost! It looks like grease and some of the pieces have little rips. Must have been a conveyor belt mishap.
What to do? I could exchange it, but this bundle isn't available any longer. I could return it, but I love it. I most likely will cut it to pieces so the gunk should matter. I'm still debating...
Look at that...how could I give it up?
Just what you wanted to see after fabric...my feet! Some people get really freaked out about feet, I'm that way with ears! Weird...I know!
These are my new sandals! I get excited when I find clothing or shoes that I love. I hate shopping...really! (all shopping except for fabric) When I find something, I get happy!

I think that you should keep it but let the vendor know. They should give you a credit as the bundle is not resellable anyway and let you keep it to use as best you can. If I were a shop owner that is what I would do.
ReplyDeleteThat is what I ended up doing and will wait to hear back. I will still be able to use it, so even if there isn't a credit…I think it will stay in my hot little hands anyway!
DeleteOh my! I would be so upset! Yes, you should definitely tell them about this and get a credit. That's a bundle of money wrapped up with that bow! Love your new sandals. They look fresh and fun!
ReplyDeleteI know I will still be able to use a lot of it and most likely will keep it regardless of a credit or not. It was still a great deal, but it should have been perfect regardless! The sandals…I rarely get that excited about new clothes any longer, but these made me very happy!
DeleteI'd definitely keep it if they gave me a discount. If not, I'd probably keep it anyway. That is the best bundle of Kona ever!
ReplyDeleteThat is what I think too! Its hard to let it go after seeing all the gorgeous colors!
DeleteI've had shops send me bonus fabric after I received damaged goods. I know I'm gonna chop it up, and I would have loved to use every millimeter, but stuff happens. And new sandals, too? How can a girl NOT be happy with new sandals and fabric?!?
ReplyDeleteIt all worked out with the damaged fabric! I was hoping for a discount/credit for part of the cost and Craftsy ended up giving me a full refund plus I get to keep the bundle! I'm thrilled to say the least! I agree…fabric and shoes…I'm in heaven!
DeleteThose cottons are gorgeous! I am trying very hard not to buy some right now :)

I understand that! I figure I can never have enough solids ~ especially if I can get a good deal on them!
DeleteCraftsy is really great about standing behind their products. So hooray that it all worked out for you Jayne!
ReplyDeleteThose cute sandals are a fun way to show off those cute lime green toes!
I knew they would take care of it, I was hoping for just a partial refund. They were wonderful, fast with a response and in the end I have a beautiful bundle to work with!
