I ordered a pattern from Lori Smith, directly from her website at
www.frommyhearttoyourhands.com
on Monday, the 9th. Now, keeping in mind that yesterday was a holiday,
imagine my surprise when I went to the mailbox today and my order was there.
Not only that, but in the package along with a personal note from Lori
apologizing for the "delay"??? in sending the order, she included another
pattern AS A GIFT!. It happens to be one of the few of hers that I don't
already have and I am absolutely thrilled.
I sent her a thank you email and now I'm telling every quilter I know about
the extraordinary service Lori provides.
Can you believe it?

reviews or bad reviews, it can make or break a business, how they
treat their customers.
Glad you had a good experience, and shared it with us.
Have a peace-filled/piece-filled day,

I ordered the Floral Delight pattern and she sent me the Fit to Frame #6.
I just finished the Fit to Frame #13 (well, the blocks are done anyway)..
I'd like to order Flowers from my Garden. That Floral Delight is just so
big. The blocks are 15".
And for colors, well, I like her colors just fine, so I'll match shades as
much as I can. I did #13 in Jo Morton colors. Now I have to figure out a
sashing and border fabric. I kind of lose interest after the blocks are
made.
I've got to hurry up and make a replacement baby quilt. I had an appliqu�
top done and took it to a friend to FM quilt for me. It usually takes her an
hour to do a baby size quilt. She came down with the flu the day after I
took it to her and she's been sick now for 2 weeks. I feel so sorry for
her, she is so awfully sick.
The baby shower is the weekend after TGiving and I just don't think she's
going to get it done. I could go get it from her and try to find someone
else to quilt it, but 1) I don't know who else I can get at this busy time
and 2) she is going to make herself feel horribly guilty that she isn't able
to do if for me. I told her the baby isn't due until the end of December and
I can just give it to her then.
I bought something called a Batting Buddy that is a quilt-as-you-go template
and boy, is it slick! I'm using the scraps from all the 30's fabric that
went into the appliqu� top and doing a string piecing technique for the
top. It looks really cool and will be a very serviceable quilt.
OK, more than you wanted to know, but I'm chatty this am.

sorry to hear about your quilters having the flu. i do hope she is back on
her feet soon.
all those holidays on the horizon and things need doing.
not to mention your quilt needs quilting too.
tho i agree as long as you can give it when baby makes its arrival.
off to check out the designs you got and have made up so far.
also want to find that batting buddy and give it my once-over.
cant imagine how that works at all but does sound interesting.
brb.....
i like her applique designs, well most of them.
they're bold and simple.
baltimore designs that are too fiddly, tho ever so beautiful, just arent my
cuppa tea.
i admire them but not into that fiddly stitching or the outcome.
i much prefer something with a bit of oomph for lack of a better word.
flowers from my garden and floral delight are both neat designs.
you said you've got most of her patterns or lots of them...
...could you not mix and match some of the different applique templates and
come up with some new blocks of your own design to stitch? i'm sure you
could, just play around with them for a while and see what happens.
now i need food or i'll end up back in bed sleeping again, had enough of
that i hope.
i've seen that batting buddy before. it is rather expensive.
it is a cutting template for a square of batting, is that it?
uh oh, says fragile on the package, that'd do me in for sure.
fragile and i dont work well together.
ta for the info, keep it coming.
tis fun to read of others adventures into the realm.
