Remember the missing fabric? Consensus is that is was stolen from my porch. It was nobody's fault so nobody wanted to give me a refund. I was not sure if I could justify spending another chunk of money on fabric for the silent auction quilt. But then...
Karma (or, you know, Jesus) took care of me after all! My dad called me a couple days later and asked if I had noticed a mysterious $70 deposit in my savings account. I hadn't. (Other than the automatic deposits from my paycheck, I try to ignore the account to avoid temptation.)
So I checked, and there it was! 70 free dollars that were the result of my dad trying to deposit checks with his iPhone, accidentally selecting the wrong account, and being too lazy or loving me too much to try to undo it. Thanks Pa!
I was getting ready to re-order the fabric online when I found out via facebook that my local quilt shop just started selling the line! No shipping fees, no package thieves, and an opportunity to support local business! Plus the friendly store owner encouraged me to take a risk with a contrasting binding that I would have never chosen on my own. Yay!
I'm so excited to start this quilt.
